[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1115939, member: 229"] Don't go cheap on BUIS - especially if you plan on using them for actual shooting (I've got two carbines now with no optics on them as I've started really using my irons). I've got a set of Troy's, a Troy rear on a carbine with a standard pinned Front Sight Block, and a set of Magpul MBUS sights on the other. Things I like about the MBUS are: - Ultra light weight - Fairly low-profile - Spring-actuated flip-up - Made by Magpul, so they're pretty tough - Rear sight is easily adjustable with a big fat knob instead of the dial. Here's what I don't like about them: - Made of plastic and I've gotten my front one pretty hot before (on a DD Lite rail). - Spring actuators on the rear sight aren't in the best place necessarily (if your sights are down, you can accidentally hit the spring-actuator by pulling back on the charging handle if you're moving/shooting and not really paying attention to staying off the irons. - Front sight isn't adjustable with a standard A2/A3 Front-sight tool (this pisses me off royally - its friggin Magpul for God's sake - why not make it standard) - Front sight post sticks up above the protective plastic ears (well above what a standard F-marked FSB would) All in all, I'm not looking to sell mine right now - they do the job and are very usable as iron sights, so they're keepers (and the price is hard to argue with).
