I see a lot of elcans without any buis behind them. Is this a common practice in the military? Also, what is the point then of having a front buis but no rear buis?

View Quote Yeah it is pretty common. The Elcan has BUIS on the top even though they're sort of shitty, I'd say they're even worse than the buis that were on my TA01NSN. But, a lot of SOCOM members rock a Docter up top of the Elcan, which makes the need for BUIS, almost non existant. As for the actual BUIS, guys don't run a rear sight so they can get optimal eye relief on the Elcan by moving it rearward, and they leave the 99051 attached simply because they would be in a world of shit if they lost a $200 issued front sight. Seriously though, at close distances they wouldn't even need a rear sight. I don't know if you've ever practiced close range contact drills with a front sight and no rear like I have, but at close range you don't even need a rear sight. |

In the absence of a plan, move toward the sound of gunfire and kill everything.

The BUIS on elcans are there for a reason, they are rain sights. If your docter gets wet right on the projector for the dot, its difficult to use. |
