AR-15 iron sight options,

Coming from collecting primarily old military rifles and then an AK, I’ve never really expected much precision out of what I had. Now that I finally slapped an AR together I’m expecting accuracy out of it. Sight wise the carry handle isn’t so bad but the front post is larger than what I’m actually shooting at. I’ve read conflicting opinions on replacing the front post with a smaller post, or replacing it with an even larger post. And I guess I’m looking for a few more opinions.

Current front sight post is .066

Smaller post would be an option
Maybe an optic with marginal magnification?

An optic is certainly in the works, I just can’t swing for the one I want right now.

I have national match sights on my A2 look-alike. I do not run an optic on that rifle. They are great irons.

I also have KNS front sight posts for some of my AKs. Those are hard to beat as well.
