    I agree but when you put product out there in that kind of numbers and don't get negative feedback you know things are right. If you put a piece of crap product in soldiers hands you hear about it ,.... quick. Those guys can break a hammer with a rubber anvil.

    Fragile? I can't say i have ever seen a broken rear sight for the 10s of 1000s we have put in the field. Part of the theory of the sight not locking in the up position I'm sure has led to that kind of a success rate.
    III,
    Whats the folded height of the KAC BUIS's?

    Mr. Knight,

    Are the Micro versions of your sights replacing the older style or will they be offered in addition to the older style?

    Thanks,
    Jason

    Not III here, but...

    Blankwaffe, I haven't measured the folded height of the two versions of the micro BUIS (I have both of them), but they are definitely the lowest profile BUIS I have ever seen, that's for sure. You will not find another BUIS that is more out of your way and unnoticeable than the KAC micros.

    RAM, as of right now both versions, the micro and the standard size, of BUIS have been on the market for a while, so I would assume that they are keeping both of them, but that's just an (un)educated guess on my part. I would also assume that the market would drive those decisions.

    RetreatHell thanks for the comments; Kevin or I will get an actual measurement up next wk and perhaps a side view of the two sights folded for comparison. You can kind of see the difference in the above pictures. The post is the same and you can see how much more post is exposed on the micro showing the difference in height when folded. Yes we will keep the older sights in production. They are under contract , have NSNs ,and are used on our rifles that are under contract and have NSNs. Even the RIS is still in production and avail even though it has been replaced for the most part by the RAS which has known better performance.

    Folded height of the original P/N: 98474 (NSN: 1005-01-499-6868) 200-600M model is .470".
    Don't have a Micro here at home yet to measure for you today because all we have made to date were reserved for commercial/military customers.
    The Micro height is a little less.

    The KAC BUISs are some of my most used. The only problem I have with the rear BUIS is that the securing screw on the port side of the sight interferes with the the locking lever of a LaRue scope mount. It would be great if you redesigned the sight so that the screw is flush to the sight body as on the Troy mounts.





    Some more KAC pron . . .




























    And of course the perfect mate for the KAC rear BUIS . . .

    Outstanding fella's.I very much appreciate the information and especially the mounted pictures.I have right at .500" under my optic and was looking for a BUIS that did not crowd the CH requiring a TAC latch.Looks like either of the KAC BUIS's should work for my needs.

    The micro is really worth checking out. I am a fan of the smaller adjustment knob on this little beast.
