BUIS Recommendations?

5461 Views 19 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  captain-03
I want to beef-up one of the M-4 Bushmasters I have. It currently has an EOTech 512 sitting on it. I want to add the EOTech 3X mag and a set of BUIS (back-up iron sights). The EOtech 3X will be the side flip type. One of my problems is that the forward handguard has no top rail to mount a front BUIS on it. Any recommendations on how I can attached a front BUIS on this weapon and what manufacture recommendations do you have for the rear and front BUIS?

You can go with the YHM gas block front sight it replaces the current low pro gas block you have or you can get their railed gas block. As for the rear BUIS I've always liked the ARMS #40 or a Matech 600. If you want to keep the middy look you can go with a mid length rail system and just buy a set of BUIS like MI or Troy make like this

I know that the YHM flipup front gas block sight is compatible with other rear BUIS like the ARMS #40. With the railed gas block you have to buy the taller front BUIS so there's not a height issue. I usually don't mix and match you could get everything you need from Yankee Hill Machine Co. here's a link to how to install a YHM front gas block

I've used their Rails (good stuff) never used any of their BUIS
Hey CAPT you might be able to go with this set up? With the LaRue LT-110 mount you can place the eotech a little more forward over the hand rail and it has a small rail on the rear made for a 3x MAG or a PVS-14.When you use this mount with the 3x you will have to buy the LT-602 low pivot mount.Nice AR ufcfan I like the ACE stock and Midwest Industries makes some good stuff.

Sid its a locking ring it locks the free floating one peice rail to the upper so it does not come loose or twist. LaRue LT-110 EO mount raises the EO up by .275". This extra height sticks the irons low in the EO window giving you a lower 1/ 3 cowitness so you can still see the irons if push-comes-to-shove.
