Flip up backup sights to replace Magpul

[68_F100]

I am looking to replace my Magpul gen 2 sights with some aluminum flip up sights. I just dont care much for the Magpul. Can anyone recomend something that works well with the Eotech?

I have a set of Troy Industries flip-ups on my rifle, and I love them.

The front is a gas-block style with quick-disconnect swivel points.

It gets hot.

Really really hot.

I really wouldn't use anything other than the Troy. I've had MI, GG&G, and ARMS. The Troys really are nicer than all of them.

Troy Industries Folding Battlesights all the way!

I have Troy's on my Noveske and have been very happy with them. I will be adding them to my other rifles as I can afford it.

Troys RBUIS came factory on my M&P15. They came loose after about 200rds factory install go fig. Dab of blue loctite prob solved. I leave it co-witnessed through my Eotec to a std A2 frt with zero trouble. I love this set up personally. The only thing I'd change is the long range peep alittle smaller dia would tighten groups up some.

Troy, IMHO, is the best BUIS on the market.

If I may ask, what don't you like about the Magpul sights? I just bought a set for a budget build, but haven't put them on yet. Wonder if I should get something different? Thanks

For a budget build, or for a range toy, the MBUS will work perfectly.

However, they are made of plastic and due to their location, and importance, I personally feel something made of a more robust material is necessary for a SHTF/serious use weapon.

Again, for a range plinker or something to just get you by until you can get a better piece of kit, the MBUS will suffice.

Their plastic is prob the biggest gripe. The positive engagement of forged sights on a forged receiver adds insurance to the equation. My guess is the magpul BUPS is prob fine tho magpul makes some quality stuff. I personally have never herd of them failing.

This about sums up my feelings.

Troy Industries! Only thing I have put on my rifles, and the only thing I will. Pricey but worth it.

Speaking of the troy sights. Are the larue and noveske marked ones the exact same thing as the Troy's except for the markings?

Yes. Only the markings are different. (my rear is LaRue and front is Noveske )

I was once harassed for my lack of matching BUIS.
