Well, got it :) This is a really excellent piece of gear. Lightweight, excellent machining, excellent purchase on the rail, and outstanding field of view. I only have one little nitpicky comment, that perhaps someone can pass on to Mark. Put something on the dial or the body of the sight that indicates where mechanical 0 windage is at. I've owned ARMS stuff in the past, and the quality of this unit far exceeds it. Buy one! |
Roger on the Mech. Zero.... C4 |
| I doesn't need to even sit on the rifle to notice this. I've got it sitting on a desk presently. It's because it's pivot point screw is slightly elevated above the flat where the front or rear of the aperture face sit against it in it's down position. Looks like the flat where the aperture rests against is a little low so it needs to travel a little beyond a vertical position to hit it and stop. Now it's not much, but enough to clearly see, maybe 6 degrees. I'll look through the earlier pictures and see if they show it. It may be normal for it. |
If you can take a pic that would be great! C4 |

eman, I think see what you are getting at: namely that if you were to look at the aperture from the SIDE it would not look like this: | | | ---- On mine, with it flipped to 0-2 it does look likes it leans FORWARD just a tad yes. I'm not sure if this is a really an issue thou, is it? I probably never would have noticed it, if you hadn't pointed it out. And jeah, six degree's sounds about right. I dunno

Can't do a photo. Would have to borrow my friends cam. No need however, as this pic shows it Grant. They must all be like this:  They must all be like that I reckon. You can see how the aperture is tilted slightly towards the rear of the sight. What does it mean? Hellifiknow

LOL that is what you are talking about?? Yes they are all like that and it doesn't effect a thing.... C4 |
I was able to hit the 300m steel ram at the range the other day, so it must work fine 
If your making 300m hits with it then I think you are good to go!  The TA is a dangerous tool if left in the wrong hands! Be VERY careful with it... C4 |
| Yup, that's it. I wouldn't have noticed myself but I've been having soo many problems with this new 1911 that I just bought and had to send back twice as well as a fence we've been building that I'm looking at everything through a magnifying glass. At first I thought it may make the aperture oblong but it's not tilted enough. Still, I wanted to make sure that it was supposed to be like that. My luck hasn't been very good lately, thanks guys. |
Dude I can relate. I may even have ya beat. Since July: Blew a headgasket in my car (Thanks Ford for your defective design) Blew the motherboard in my computer (Replaced under RMA) PSU in the Computer went south just two nights ago (Running on a loaner) RMA'd a BM upper with a canted FSB (they rebarelled it for free) RMA'd my new LMT 16 incher (looks like its canted too. That's preliminary thou) On the upside, it doesn't look like Kerry will get elected, the AWB is GONE, and my TLE/RL shoots 3 to 4 inch groups at 50 yards. So I guess I should quit while I am ahead

Looks like the lever is directly in the way of the right side of the charging handle. Kinda way out there in engineering terms............ It may have clearance, for lack of a top view. Sorry, rough crowd. |
Lever isn't in the way at all. You can use your middle and index finger to charge the bolt. C4 |
| I was just looking on there website and it sent me here, i dont understand this sights usefullness without an elevation adjustment, heck i could just look down the side of the barrel and shoot coke cans at 50 yards and get the same sight, another thing it would be nice if they listed there product specifications i.e. height and what not on there own website as technical specs. data instead of having to read through a myriad of peoples opinions trying to decifer what is valid and what is not.......... |
Hah, they should have done just that in vietnam with the M16 and the A1... and saved alot of hassle with the rear sight. You adjust elevation at the FRONT SIGHT. |
I guess you have never heard of the A1 then huh.  The LT BUIS will work perfectly with your front sight and co-witness with an Aimpoint (using a standard height mount) or an EOTech. What other technical specs do ya need??? C4 |
So it does flip both ways...... Is it just as solid? Any problems flipping forward that you can think of? I was concerned that it might be prone to catching on something flipped forward, and thereby knock the sight off, but I'm not sure thats a real issue. |
|
I'm interested in a Larue fixed BUIS. Do you have them in stock? Your website shows back ordered. Don't know how up to date the site is. Did Larue shorten the throw lever? Looks like they did on the newer sights by two holes, or are people filing them down? Colt_SBR |
Am out of stock on them currently. They (LT) did shorten the levers. C4 |
