Look at the GG&G, ARMS, and TROY. Mike @ CSGW www.csgunworks.com [email protected] Here’s some testimonials about CS GunWorks FEEDBACK about CSGUNWORKS on AR15.com FEEDBACK about CSGUNWORKS on Snipersparadise FEEDBACK about CSGUNWORKS on the HIDE |
 Troy with my EOTech 551 and LaRue QD mount, both BUIS and mount from Denny's Guns-Global Tactical (GTS) I decided on a folding type BUIS just in case I might use a magnifier, magnified optics or NV later on for my carbine. The Troy is ideal for carbine use, it won't accidentally be folded until the release button is pressed, same thing with the windage adjustment it's shrouded, low profile to accept the majority of optics, they use very high quality materials and a very robust design. If you won't be using any magnified optics the LaRue fixed BUIS would be a good choice. |

Are you ever going to mount a magnified optic? If so, you need to consider whether the BUIS will fit under the scope and mount combo - some mounts (like the Armalite) are very low, and others (like the M1Sales) are quite high. Fixed sights have less to go wrong, and are always ready to go, but are always in your FOV, too. A few things to consider when choosing rear flip-up BUIS, depending on if it's going to be a range gun or a SHTF gun: - Will it be used for precision or long-range shooting? A small aperture is helpful for this. If the use is both close-up and long-range, a dual-aperture sight is useful. - If it's multi-aperture, which one is deployed when it flips? Some flip with the large aperture deployed, others with the small. If you're not in a hurry, this won't matter, but some people care. - If multi-aperture, do the apertures deploy in the same plane? Some deploy with an elevation shift to account for the range differences, others use the same zero for both apertures. - Do you want the windage knob easy to adjust or shielded to prevent accidental adjustments? ARMS are exposed and easy, Troy is shielded. - Does it have elevation adjustments? Some do (like the Wilson Combat), most don't. - How easy is it to deploy or adjust if your hands are muddy or gloved? - Does it latch in the up position, the down position, or both? - How protected is it from damage, both down and deployed? The Matech is one that sticks up with little protection and can easily be tweaked or broken by rough handling when deployed. - How robust is the detent mechanism? The Matech will wear over time and become easier to deploy (and eventually won't lock). For many, this doesn't matter, as their BUIS aren't used often. Figure out which of these are important to you and what capabilities you want, and it will narrow down the choices quite a lot. |
There are a lot of good BUIS available. A guide to a few. . Brownells has recently released an interesting one as well. Brownells info.
