BUIS (Back Up Iron Sights)for AR-15
Midwest Industries

Does anyone here have an opine about these sights? I will be putting these on my flat top.
Both front and rear sights fold down.

As I know you as a shooter of a 450/400 double rifle and a 404 Jeffery bolt rifle I would have guessed you thought a "flat top" was a hair cut. Eeker Big Grin

Sorry could not resist.

I am not familiar with that brand of BUIS, but they look OK. Same plane rear apperatures is what you want.

What is your primary optic going to be?

Are you setting up for indoor use, out door close range use, out door allround, or with equal emphasis on all?

I am having Tip Burns put a Flat Top Upper on the rifle. I currently have a Red Dot Scope on the rifle. I will be using the rifle for outdoors, primarily in 3 Gun Challenge shoots.

The Midwest Industries looks like a very functional sight to me.

And I haven't worn a flat top since I quit buying "Butch Wax". Eeker Big Grin
