Background: I bought an Olympic Arms CAR-97 in 1998 during the Assault Weapons Ban. [Never even had an interest in an AR until Slick Willie went after them.] When the ban ended, I replaced the fixed stock with an Magpul ACS buttstock. Recently installed a Velocity 3# single stage and KNS Precision non-rotating trigger and hammer pins. Today the PSA 18" upper [stainless .223 Wylde, 1:7, 15" Keymod handguard] arrived.*
So what would you recommend for backup iron sights, and the bolt carrier group - and why?

* Since the PSA thread is now locked, it was 8 days from order to shipped, and 7 days to arrival. No cosmetic problems.
