McGregorISO CLE AR15 rear sight apertures
Looking for the rear sight apertures for the Compass Lake Engineering hooded rear sight.
With CLE out of business I haven't been able to locate any online.
Hoping someone may have an idea where to purchase them.

sigfreundI got this from Copilot AI, and didn’t try to confirm that any of the references were valid, but they might be worth checking if you haven’t already. I suspect some aren’t applicable, but the last one listed mentions custom work.
Compatible Alternatives

McGregorsigfreund thanks for the response. Had seen the RRA apertures and they may be the only ones that may work if the threads match what I have.
The CLE version uses a hood like the RRA version except has individual apertures that screw into the hood.
Bushmaster used to make a similar product but apparently no more.
