What do I have?

[KKing]

I guess a more appropriate title would be "Has anyone ever seen one of these". I stumbled across this on eBay and I just had to have it, but I can literally find nothing about it. My google-fu is weak. What I know: It's Armalite branded, seems to be of very good quality, and has elevation adjustment on the top of the stalk. I wouldn't think it would be a Chinese rip off since the finish is really good and well, what would they have copied? Can't find a listing where Armalite has ever sold them, so I wondered if anyone here remembers Armalite offering these? These are the pictures from the eBay auction, I haven't taken any of my own yet. Thought this might be perfect on an AR10 build

Looks like a flip up peep sight....just a guess tho...

There's one in every crowd.

Even with no info I think it was a steal for what I paid. It sits on a rail as flat as my MBUS PRO, and has elevation adjustment, I like it a lot. Just didn't know if anyone had seen one before Edited January 5, 2016 by KKing

I just recently saw a pop-up peep sight sorta similar to that. Didn't get a good enough look to determine a maker. This particular sight had been used on an M4 in Iraq. The guy that had it had served with a Guard unit.

Have to say that would be kinda cool if that's the case. I figured most of the armed forces were still using Matech rear sights, though I admit I'm pretty ignorant in that area
