    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.

    Didn't try the hood, but I did open one up. Be sure to drill it straight, and paint the exposed metal.

    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.

    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.

    That can happen with anything with a detent or notch. Simply time to replace or repair. Who knows how many times it had been flipped up/down.
