A.R.M.S. #71L-F/R: Same price point (roughly), don't lock in the up position (the one review I read on them said that was a good thing), MBUS style rear aperture (2 separate paddles), spring loaded. But I only have experience with a set of $20 airsoft reproduction sites, so I can't really compare them to the MBUS, NEA, or even the A.R.M.S. sites.
Haven't seen a set of these in person but my one comment would be that the aperatures and posts do need to be black. A tan post is gonna be very difficult to align properly in bright light.
In the end, plastic sights will always be meant as backups to an optic. If you want to use iron sights, get something made of metal.

Ok, so i took a look at these sights, friend of mine just received a set. OMG you cant even compare them to magpul, i have seen airsoft sights that were better then those.
I would choose magpul any day of the week. No wonder they didnt put their name on these sights.. if it didnt say NEA on the bag they came in, i would guess that its another airsoft junk.
My friend is very disappointing. Oh and these sights are larger than magpul as well..

Yah no way to know if they are comparable in quality, but when the price is the same, I'm not risking $100 to try. They should have priced them way lower when entering the market to get more people to try and review
Just because the manufacturer makes "weapons grade polymer products" doesn't mean they're A: quality, or B: all products are made of the same material. Just saying.... I couldn't care less about these sights, plastic sights are poor idea all around.

IMO magpul sights are not great quality, they are just popular because its magpul and everyone buys them because they can get FDE sights that match their FDE mags.. metal BUIS are what i would want at the $100-150 price point...i hope NEA makes a metal version of tem, ide buy them then.
ok agreed... BUIS folding sigts should be sub $100... polimer ones should be $50 a set for magpul.. really..they cost nothing to make, the r&d went into them what 8 years ago... now they add a new shade of fde and call it a new line.
im glad NEA launched the polimer sights, and at the same price and the magpuls is fine, but i think both brands need to take drop the prices in canada a little.
what do the magpuls cost in the states?
