Pros & Cons
Pros
Seems sturdy. They're sturdy, reliable, hold zero.
These are my go to buis for any of my railed rifles in the ar platform. They lie flat and don't scrub your scope if your running an lpvo. Using as a backup for an optic.
Definitely a viable alternative to $150 buiss. Just equipped these. Other than that minor nit to pick, these are an incredible value.
The utg front sight post is also an a2 style but operated without a hitch. Easy to install, feels solid. Both front and rear.
Cons
Utg needs to do some qc and recalibrate their cnc equipment. Would love someone from utg to reach out about a refund. The finish is a satin black anodizing that will not match the finish of your rifle.
The front sight does not fit a picatinny rail. The little plunger that keeps it in the up position is skinny and easily bendable. The folding mechanism seems very weak. I had to drill out the head and break the screw with a punch.
Highlights
Quality
I love these sights they are made of aluminum they look good easy to adjust and install
Good quality sights well made and doesnt feel cheap
Held up strongly after numerous round and dead on target each time
Backup sights not primary sights if you arent running glass optics id get more traditional real a2 or similar with better bz zero settings
Price

Great value for the money adjustable for wind and elevation

Competitiveness
The utg front and rear flip up metal sights installed without a hitch like their much more expensive cousins
Even if the prices were the same i would choose these over magpul mbus
Both troys and magpuls flip up metal sights are slmost 3 times the cost of utgs
Nothing feels flimsy the anodizing is flawless and they are much less bulky than some of the more expensive brands

Was fine but the threaded bolt through the bottom dug a little into the finish on my rail

They could’ve used screws that aren’t threaded where it contacts the rail
