FM 3-22.9 does not cover zeroing the BUIS, or BIS as it's called in the manual. The instruction sheet does cover it though.
I'll sumarize;
M4/M4A1- Set elevation knob on 300 mark. Make all elevation adjustments with the FSP, and windage adjustments with the windage knob. Use 25m zero target for the M4
M16A4- Set elevation knob to white line between 300 and 400 marks. Use FSP and windage knob like above and use the 25m target for the M16A2/A4.
Sorry, I don't have this manual on digits.
Cool, that's all I needed...I meant to say the instruction sheet to begin with.
Is this MaTech sight only good on the M4 style of AR? I picked one up from a buddy of mine and I had it on my 16" AR. I sold the AR and kept the MaTech BUIS. I have DPMS LR 308 and was wondering if it would work on there. I know you could zero it in, but would the elevation dial be worth a damn? I mean...the MaTech is only good for the 5.56, not the 7.62 correct?
I like this sight but it's not the best.
Troy DI-Optic Aperture is a great sight.
The best (for me) is easily the KAC Folding Micro BUIS.
yep...very snag prone and 1 aperture. it may be cheap, but you get what you pay for.
Bought one, tried it and sold it. It sits higher than I wanted and I just didn't feel like it would last. Went back to my ARMS 40L
A friend had it on her issue rifle. She let me shoot it, and every time I shot it, the damn matech BUIS would spring up--meaning the detent would not lock it down. That experience turned me off from the matech BUIS. That's my only experience w/ them, so take it for what it's worth.
I've heard(for what it's worth) that is a problem with the Matech. On the other side, it is a buis, not a primary.
I have them on a LMT and a DD. They are a fine sight, however I feel a folding sight will always have some weakness. I could only see bothering to upgrade to something like the DD or Larue units that dont fold.
I have what I believe to be a real Matech sight. The sight is solid; the elevation and windaage adjusters have crisp, prominent clicks, and the detent to keep the sight folded is firm. I read and understood the mounting and setup instructions.
I mounted this sight on a mid-length gas, 16" rifle - and I could not get the thing to zero. I know the instruction specifiy different setups for the M4/M4A1, and the M16A2/A4. I tried both of the different recommend elevation setups, as well as other elevations, and I couldn't get the sight to zero at all. Either the sight is completely incopatable with a middy sight radius (doubtful), the YHM front flip-up gas block sight was out of spec (possible), or there is something wrong with my Matech sight (probable). If I remember correctly, the sight came in a blue (or was it red?) sealed plastic bag, with neatly printed instructions and the allen key. It has MATECH stamped/engraved on the bottom of the sight. Any insight on this situation, or other's similar experiences with Matech sights would be appreciated.
I was able to zero the gun in about 5 shots with a YHM detatchable rear flip sight. So that tells me that YHM either manufactures all their sights out of spec with the rest of the world and their sights only work with one another on a unique plane (far-fetched and doubtful, but anything is possible, I guess), or there is an issue with my Match sight (even more probable now).
