Flat-top iron sights

[michael_aos]

I also haven't seen any rear BUIS that are elevation adjustable.That doesn't mean they aren't out there but I haven't seen one yet.

Well....except for the ones I've mentioned previously in this thread...

Like the LMT and YHM.

The beauty of the AR platform is that you can put A1 sights on it if you so desire.

here is one of many references to the difference between A1, A2, A3, A4.

Rock River Arms has one as well. But yes, most of them are based around A2 Windage/Elevation drums and are as finicky and troublesome as they come.

Thanks. I hadn't seen that one.

So you'd recommend against ANY of the A2-style stand-alone rear sights?

I've got a set of Troy BUIS. I like them well-enough. I just thought a using a rear-sight with adjustable elevation might let me salvage this Hayes Research front-sight.

You looking for something like this;

B.M.A.S. Flat-Top Fixed Rear SightThis AR15 type fixed Iron Sight offers the option of mounting optics further forward on the flat-top rail. The sight’s base is a heavy, black anodized aluminum block - other parts are steel. Windage and elevation adjustments are 1/2 M.o.A.

That's the one I got for My build, Thus far I have been real happy with it, and no problems.
