I'd appreciate any opinions from you guys who are more experienced. What I know: 1) I'm getting and EOTech 512 for my LE6920 2) I would like to co-witness in the lower 1/3rd with a BUIS. 3) I will keep my stock, fixed front sight My options: 1) RRA Dominator mount. Allows lower 1/3 co-witness and has built-in fixed BUIS. Simple and cheap. Done. 2) I have a slight preference for a flip-up rear BUIS. But this involves buying a separtate riser mount (? LaRue) as well as a flip-up sight (? Troy). More costly and complicated. My questions: 1) Any errors in my thinking so far? 2) Will I be happy with the Dominator? 3) If I get a riser mount AND a flip-up, will they still co-witness in the lower 1/3rd? 4) What flip-up would you recommend so that all that stuff (riser, EOTech and BUIS) fits on the flat top without requiring rail extensions? |
No. Sounds good.
I do not own one, but most reviews I’ve seen are favorable. You’ll get basically the same sight picture as the combination of EOTech/CCH BUIS or LMT BUIS offers.
Yes. The purpose of the risers is to achieve a lower 1/3rd co-witness.
I’m not sure about this one, but if you check my tacked “Optics Options” thread you might find a combination to your liking. You can then IM the owner to ask for specifics. Hope this offers some help. |
I was just recently in the same boat.......shopping for a folding BUIS. My choices were down to the TROY and the new ARMS #40L-P. I really like how robust the TROY is, but didn’t like the fact that it locked in the deployed position. The ARMS #40 series locks in the stowed position and folds when deployed if bumped or dropped, so I went with ARMS.    |
Which Troy model is that? |
+1 Mazeman, Troy only have one model rear BUIS but in two colors, black and flat dark earth (tan). SKD Tac have a Troy special version that the windage adjustment cannot be hand adjustable, the detent pin have to be pushed by a punch or a bullet tip to rotate the windage knob. Troy FBS-RA1.SKD at SKD Tac website - link The best feature I like about the Troy is that it locks in the up position and can't fold down accidentally when pushed by web gear or barricade, etc. |
For the last few years, I've been running my Eotech 511's without a riser and I liked the cowitness. However, I recently won a Larue mount in a local match and I've changed my ways. The lower 1/3 cowitness is great and the raised optic fits my normal shooting stance a bit better. BTW, I run an ARMS #40 BUIS...had it for years and haven't found a good excuse to replace it yet.

I have the Troy but also the ARMS40 and find nothing wrong with it either!
