Default Backup sights

I recently purchased a used 15-22. I had bought a new sport model that didn't function well and needed to be sent in so i needed a spare. Anyway the used older model (quad rail without threaded barrel) has no sights, i do have a red dot but no backups. I was wondering where i can get some stock sights and what I should expect to pay. It just sort of bothers me not having the parts there. I thought about buying magpul flip ups but i just dont want to spend the money. Can you guys point me in the right direction.

Any back up iron sights (BUIS) (or plastic sights) will work. The MOE version of the 15-22 comes outfitted with the Magpul sights, the same you can buy separately. There is nothing special about them.

While there can be nothing more infuriating than a red dot losing power, I don't even use my BUIS.. It's easier to keep a spare battery, and ensure that the reticle works BEFORE going to the range. I do it every time.

However, I do have a set of Black and FDE Magpul BUIS.. I guess I could part with a pair for about $55...

Or, you could ebay and get an inexpensive chinese knock-offs for about $10.

I was kinda looking for the stock old ones i have the magpul flipups on my newer one but just wanted the ones that should have been on the older model. I figured someone on here may have a set they took off that they might be looking to sell
