I have been reading many threads relating to the supply in demand. These sight are defiantly the most sought after. I like the idea of adjustable elevation in a small package. I had to get an straight answer from KAC so I just got off the phone with them. They said manufacturing is at full production on those and still can’t make enough to fill military orders. What’s your take??
I have had good luck finding hard to get KAC components at www.gungalleryjax.com
Guess it depends on how you plan to use them. Its very nice to have elevation adjustments in such a small package!
I personally I’m fine with the PRI Rear and Troy front I use. They don’t have me the ability to adjust elevation on the fly in the rear, however they seem to work very well for back up sights. I have them set up with a 300yd zero and have no problem hitting anything man sized from 300yds and in which is fine since I’m running them on a 11.5" AR.
I assume they’d be a welcome addition to a Rifl or SPR where the ability to make finer adjustments out past 300yds may be needed.

I don’t care for the 300m without elevation. Either of the 600m versions are functional and will clear a scope nicely when folded. With a red dot, I’d go with a fixed rear sight with a flippable large/small aperture and elevation, like an LMT or DD.
Edited because I’m a tard’, haha
I have the Troys on three rifles, two standard, one set Micro. Very satisfied with them.
…
They are great and there is no wait - just go to a website that has them in stock and buy them. They are in stock multiple places.
You’ll love em.
They are well thought out. They are backups in every sense of the word for me - I would never try to adjust them in the field. Just set them up for ImpBSZero (50yd/200m) - you’ll be set.
KAC BUIS? Absolutely the best on the market IMO. I like them better than the Troys, and haven’t had a single problem on them on any of my rifles. Have about 5 sets of them. Statistically that’s irrelevant. They’ve got an IDIQ contract for the fronts, I’m not sure about the rears, but obviously they’re not pieces of crap.
KAC is all I’ll use. 600m Micro rears, and M4 flip up fronts, however I will be transitioning to Micro fronts at some point as well. I have one Micro front, and three M4 Flip ups. One is getting donated to a wounded vet I know as soon as I get another Micro.
Just a side note here, (I use both the 300m, and the 600m ‘buffalo’ rear KAC sights on my rifles), did you guys know the Taurus USA does the mim casting for KAC rear sights? I don’t know if they assemble them as well, but there it is. Since they are both Florida companys, I guess that’s not suprising, but for some reason I don’t know how I feel about this, based on the amount of money I paid for them. I still use, and will use them, however.
They’re accurate, low profile, pretty light and hold zero well. I do not employ them as dedicated or backup sights for any HD or SHTF rifle, however, due to how easily they can be folded.
What’s “buffalo”?
Folks that use the 300m sight, do you find that it could withstand hard use?
Thanks
I’ve used a lot of rear sights, but the KAC always comes out to be the one I prefer. It doesn’t get in the way, and it’s robust. Money well spent.
Gun Gallery has the 200-600 Meter Micro’s in stock, I called and ordered one today. Gun Gallery is a very respectable place to deal with, just call them up and tell them what you want.
I have a hard time believing this, where exactly did you hear or get this information from?
Try to find a pair, they are great
I saw them molding/firing the USMC bases on Guns and Ammo T.V.
There is nothing else that looks like the KAC 600m USMC rear sight.
Shouldn’t be too hard to believe, a lot of companys farm out small parts, just look at Colt.
Maybe I’m wrong, but who else holds the contract for the USMC buis?
