What I need to finish this build so far is the BUIS, trigger, Blast Forwarding Device maybe even a Suppressor, Eotech G33, and then a light. Trying to stay as lean and light as possible. I wont be needing to reach out to 300 yards as I don’t hunt with it. Just seems like a ton of stuff to put on a AR…I had none of this on my A2/M203 at Bragg (Long ago).
Of all that, I’m having the most problem with the BUIS . Found this and need your opinion. If you have time for some additional advice on the BFD, single stage trigger, I appreciate it.
I don’t see any reviews, but these are really low profile and nice on a Kriss I demo’d. Since they can be used on a picatinny rail, should be fine on an AR right? Just not seeing the point to spend 200$ on iron sites when the R.Dot is my primary. If you have a better option, I’m open to that. Don’t see Troy or MBus pros being used enough to warrant the money.

Your right Wake, I mainly hear about them and Troy’s, even LWRC has a nice set. If its worth it to get those or Troy/LWRC, then Ill get them. Just want to be sure I’m not just buying stuff without a proper understanding of the tech involved.
Flip up BUIS, I prefer Troy. The regular Magpul BUIS are nice too and cheaper. No-flip up BUIS, I like Larue if I want removeable or Danial Defense if I don’t want/need removeable.
I’ve only used RRA (first AR back in 2002 or so), Stag, Colt and Sionics single stage triggers. I think the Sionics is the nicest of the three.
I bought these as an alternative to Magpul Pros, or the adjustable sights from Zahal. I was looking for something that could be adjusted easily, without a tool. These proved to be flimsy, and snapped while being installed. The first time I have ever been disappointed by a product from Rainier.
MBUS PRO or KAC are by far my two favorite BUIS and if you can swing the cost for them, would be a solid choice.
Also look into the Bobro Low Rider BUIS. They are durable, light weight, and extremely low profile. They aren’t adjustable like the other BUIS I mentioned and require tools to adjust, but for what they are designed for they do great.
No, not at all. The review was for the Kriss sights. I started that post, went await from the computer before I sent it and finally sent if a couple hours later, the delay skewed the context. Sorry.
There is a fair amount of info regarding this topic in a thread from a while back concerning whether or not BUIS are even viable or necessary with modern optics. I am in the camp that, while redundant, they are a necessity that should not be overlooked. I prefer KAC but have had Troy, Magpul and A.R.M.S for fold down, Daniel Defense for fixed. If price is a concern and you aren’t using them much for anything aside as a JIC measure, Magpul are hard to beat.
