Cool. That's most likely what I'm going with iron sightwise because it seems to be a quality sight from what I've read, and still a fair price
Yeah i ordered them before I'd even shot the gun and the site I ordered it from didn't give a warning about the gas block. I'll just keep em though probably cuz if I ever build one it'll have a full length rail so I'll just use em then.sidroski said:I have an EoTech on one of mine and like it.
As far as your front BUIS, make sure it is steel and not a polymer like Magpuls. They can't handle the heat as you probably know.
Let us know what you get and a range report.
That was assuming I go the battery-less routeLt.Dan said:Id probably go with the iron sight before the optic, because if :shtf: you wont be needing batteries. just my thought.
I have theyre just over what I'm looking to spend but might still go for themReloader said:Look at Diamondhead battle sights.
I looked at this yesterday at gander....didn't care for it...maybe it was just my eyes but I had trouble viewing the reticle. Couldn't figure out how to light it up though so I can't vouch for what it was like with thatjbpmidas said:If you want a "dot" optic, Leupold makes one that does not require batteries. It has a black reticle, similar to a regular scope. But, it also has a lit reticle feature. A guy had one a few weeks ago when I was at the range.
MI, i'd forgotten about them! thats more what i'm looking for pricewise, and appears to be a solid unit w/ good reviewsnhstk02 said:I went with the Midwest Industries flip sights and have been satisfied with them so far. I was really wanting a dot sight at one time, but wanted to learn how to use the iron sight at first anyway. I ended up getting a Millet dms-1 1-4 power scope, and I like it, but just need a quick release mount for it.
Nothing wrong with that. But I'm still not sold on something I have to turn on an optic, or finding/buying batteries for one. Either way this purchase will probably be a month or so offStonewall said:I just like Aimpoints. Yeah, they have a battery .............. but also have a 50,000 hour battery life!
Exactly...they were so close(due to the gas block) that they were literally worthless. Well made just the polymer/gas block thing was an issuejbpmidas said:Not much of a sight radius with the MagPul's!
Maybe on my next one. Already have the buis. And just don't want a full rail on this one for some reasonStryker6 said:I would change out the gas block to a low pro style, slap a rifle length rail on it, put a Comp M4 and some BUIS on top add you'd be good to go plus it would look great. shop around on other gun forums and you can usually find a quality rail and gas block for under 100 bucks.
