ar15 back up rear sight which one?

[contact148]

Ok I want to add a back up rear sight to my 16"ar15 thats sporting an eotech

I want somthing thats adjustable and will fold down out of the way

what do you guys recomend?

I have a GG&G A2 BUIS and it's pretty sweet. Simple, and folds down nicely.

ARMS #40 is also a good option.

You can get the Matech US Army issue BIS on Ebay. It's a pretty simple aperture sight that is spring-loaded and has adjustments for up to 600 m.





Folded:

What about the HK style sights, are they available or are those only for non civvies as well?

 

[canucklehead]

If you're talking about the ones from the HK416 - I believe they are available down south, but not cheap.

I saw a set on Ebay awhile back for $199 for the set. I know where they can be purchased (only a few left) for about $280. Excellent choice though!

For folders, I've heard nothing but good things about Troy. KAC would be good as well, but there is a lot of airsoft junk floating around that people try to pass as real KAC. Make sure it's the real thing. I've never been a big fan of the arms#40, don't know why. I've had pretty good luck with the GG&G mad on mine.

I made one out of a coathanger and gum wrappers.

The ARMS 40 BUIS cgn user winter gave me works good. flips down all the way. cowitnesses with my lo-pro aimpoint and fs so give that a try? I like it because it adjusts just like the old c7a1 rear sights. easy to use.

Troy or Knights.

I like the ARMS #40L, gets down real low, uses the same A2 appertures as std AR sights.

 

[agilent_one]

+1 on the arms #40. It works well and co-witnesses perfectly with my EOTech (on a YHM riser.)

I'm running #40's on all three of my flat tops. I really like them.

KAC 300 for me...YMMV. It is afterall a "backup" sight. I have never understood the need for multi apertures or why a BUIS flips up with the small aperture but I am only a rec. user not a pro.

Arms #40 great sight even if it is made by a Nazi

Troy all the way if you want a folder.
