Flat-top iron sights

[mightymouse]

Now back to the topic of a good elevation-adjustable CQB-type rear sight. We've seen there are several options. Is there anything to distinguish one from the other?

No, they all suck equally. I keep telling you that cobbling together non-USGI compliant parts with USGI-compliant parts is a short path to long headaches. But for me, the best thing about beating your head against the wall is that is feels SO good when you stop.

I'm pretty sure that's the first time you've actually said that.

What I'm actually asking about is a USGI rear sight. Sorry if I wasn't clear each time I said that. A good USGI-height, A2-style rear sight. Lets just forget there's a front-sight in the equation.

No, they all suck equally.

Simply by virtue of being adjustable for elevation? You'd think in all the years since the military adopted the A2, somebody would have figured it out.

BMAS, LMT, YHM -- all suckage?

Mike, BMAS=YHM, Least My BMAS has YHM on it. I'll agree with Kelly, for what You want it for it might be the suckage. For what I use it for, casual bang, bang, It works great, like I said, never had a problem with it.

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

Like the LMT and YHM.

OOPS !!!!

For a fixed, always up BUIS I'd go with a LaRue or an LMT.

For a folding BUIS I'd go with the Troy or the new MI low profile. MagPul will be releasing a new one that they showed at SHOT this year, I'd like to try one of those.

I'd avoid the DPMS rear as I had one and had trouble with it.

The ARMS folders are okay if you remember to install them per the instructions and use loctite on them.

I've got a LaRue and it's "just OK".

I'm inclined to try the LMT, especially since it is adjustable for elevation.

outside of the name LMT. my cut down carry handle looks the same and does not move ,it does say RRA on it (does that discount it as a decent rear sight?)
