Got a pic?

Excuse the alky in the background. Haven't put it back since we had a get together this past weekend.

The front is a tad higher. But nothing grotesk, IMO.

What about when they're flipped up?

Have you zeroed the gun yet? "Grotesk" is in the shooting, not in the looks.

Very true! That is why I am going to the range this Thursday.

Looking forward to the report back!

And there are even less expensive alternatives.

I took my new setup to the range last evening. After fiddling with my old mans rifle for what seemed like 90 minutes to get his sighted in, I had the chance to sight in my Eotech.

With about 5 minutes left of range time left in the evening - seems it's getting darker pretty fast here lately - I wanted to try the new front sight I put on. At 25 yards (with the front post screwed all the way down) I had to put what I was aiming at on paper about half way down the front post to hit dead center. Mvician hit the nail on the head with the front sight being on a high plane as the rear sight.

At 50 yards it was a different story. I have no idea where my 3 shots ended up. They were hitting the backstop but not the paper. If I had more daylight, I probably could have figured it out where on the sight post it needed it to be.

In short, as a backup it's just ok for 25 yards and in. At 50 yards, I can not give a true assessment due do not having enough time to adjust on where I needed to aim to put rounds on paper. Is this the best way for iron sights? Absolutely not. Would it work in a pinch if my Eotech takes a a during a SHTF scenario? It could, for short term and short distance use.
