PSA Aluminum Flip Up Backup Sight Set - BUIS - 7789731

 

[warthog]

I like the YHM flip up sights personally and have them on all my AR's.

So to answer your question, no I haven't.

I will tell you I really dislike the plastic MagPul flip sights. They just feel cheap to me.

Nothing at all wrong with MagPuls. I run MagPul, Troy, ARMS, LMT and standard A2 carry handle. All work well.

I have Troy and Magpul Pro on some of my other rifles. I just ordered a set of the PSA that are on sale. I figured they were worth a try for $70 shipped.

Imho, Magpul Pros are hard to beat. And with Black Friday coming up, I'd be watching Primary Arms.

The plastic absorbed the shock better I assume

I get daily emails from Palmetto and have never seen their BUIS before. I assume this is a new product for them since there aren't any reviews. Not sure how you can go wrong with American made aluminum sights at that price.

 

[vwfred69]

i looked at their site yesterday and they weren't there. it seems like they get them near black friday

 

[M67]

They look like rebranded Sig iron sights, pretty much the same ones on my MPX

For the price, as a set for aluminum, they're probably solid. I run Magpul, Magpul Pro, Troy, Sig, and GG&G. I think I like the MBUS Pros the best

 

[warthog]

MagPul plastic are the same as the Pros?

If so I am glad you like them, I don't

No. The Magpul Pros are metal.

Aw man! I have MagPuls on my 3 AR uppers, but that's only because I couldn't find the HK style at a reasonable price point.

A reasonable price point LIKE THIS!

Aero Precision has metal flip ups now, HK style, and they're spring loaded. They're a little more than these though.

These sights have been out for a while, you just had to look under the Sig name. Whoever is making them for Sig looks to be selling them to PSA now

Ask my buddy who dropped his rifle this weekend. Has Troy folding sights and now has a bent front sight. I like the Magpul pro because they don't lock in the up position.

Ditto. I have a couple sets of the Yankee Hill Machine QDS with the HK front. They are expensive but worth it IMHO.

 

[warthog]

No. The Magpul Pros are metal.

OK, thanks. I still prefer the YHM and yeah, they are pricey but it is what I like.

 

[FWJK]

I am Magpul Pro all the way. High quality, super slim footprint. Worlds better than normal Magpul MBUIS

 

[Farm1]

I have both magpuls and troys and like them both.. At the end of the day it comes down to preference.

I have to agree with you. The Magpul pro's are really nice for the money. They have a good positive detent and are made of metal, not the plastic ones. Dan

To answer the OP questions, I have the rear sight on one of my rifles. I like it. It's a well made low profile sight that when on sale is a good buy. On the rear, adjustment are positive with an audible click that are done with a coin or cartage rim and once set they don't move. The apertures are true with sharp cuts and don't throw a glare like some I have in bright sunlight. It doesn't lock into place when deployed like some but the spring tension is enough that it stays put under use.

The only negative I've found is that to get it to tighten down properly on the rail positioning is important. Hard to describe but if you pick one up you'll quickly see what I mean. All in all I'd pick up a set if the price is right, I got the rear sight for under $40 on sale a few years back and it was a heck of a deal for what it is. It's the same sight as they carry now so if you get a set at a good price I'd go for it.
