Foldable rear sight question

[id64]

I have installed Aimpoint M4s recently (absolutely love it btw ) and I am wondering which foldable iron sight to install that matches stock iron front.
Thanks in advance for suggestions!

Almost anything for a folding back-up iron sight should work.

Depends. Do you want it to co-witness or be be bottom or top 3rd? I use a KAC 300m which is bottom 3rd with my Larue mount.

Buis

The difference between absolute co-witness and lower 3rd co-witness is determined entirely by the height of your Aimpoint/Eotech mount, and has nothing to do with what BUIS you choose.

As you have a lot of Magpul stuff on your rifle, why not look at Magpul's MBUS? They are 1/3 to 1/2 the price of most other decent BUIS, and are very robust and reliable, although a bit bulkier than most.

Other than that, look at Knights, Troys, etc.

I should have mentioned that, my mistake. I chose the mount height so I got bottom 3rd. The mount itself comes in 3 different heights.

It is a pretty valid point for the OP to consider though.

Myself, I prefer absolute co-witness, so that I only have one cheekweld, etc.

With enough practice you can mount the rifle with your eyes closed, and have the sights centered on the target regardless of whether you are using your primary, or BUIS.

A lot of people forget that Aimpoints do suffer from paralax under 50 meters, so at shorter distances, you should have the dot centered in the sight.

id64. Like Mark said the dot is centered. The angle I took the pic at makes it look like it is sitting on the post.

Thanks all!
