I'm looking at a lot of different AR uppers and trying to decide what style to get. I want a flat top so I can put optics on it, but that's the easy part.
It seems like the vast majority of flat top uppers come with the front sight installed on the barrel. Only a few have a rail at the front sight location. My original plan was to get flip up front and rear sights and use an optic co-witnessed to those. But accepting an upper with a permanent front sight would certainly expand my selection options greatly.
Thoughts on this? Is there a reason I SHOULD get an upper with a front sight installed? Is there a reason I SHOULDN'T get an upper with a front sight installed?
What's the deal here?
