ARMS 71 polymer sights

sadmin · #1 08-14-10, 09:07

Good Morning,

Does anyone have a set of the ARMS 71 poly buis and can snap an image of their profile compared to the MBUS? (and possibly a deployed head on image of the front compared to the front MBUS) I was looking at a pair for my 15-22.

Thanks for any info on them.

cool. I ordered a pair as well. There is a positive review over at WEVO on them. I will try to take some pictures of them next to the MBUS for anyone who is interested.

i have a pair, very impressed and prefer them to troys (easier to deploy - better rear sight adjustment) and the mbus (appear more robust, not as cheap looking).

I received mine this weekend, I have not shot with them yet so I cant report on whether I received a pair from the faulty mold that was reported on WEVO.
The MBUS have a better deployment and locking system to me; but thats opinion. I do prefer the slimmer profile of the ARMS to the MBUS and the dials for adjustment and metal apertures are definitely an improvement.
I put them on my m&p 15-22, but ordered a pair for my SBR; I think they fill those roles quite well. When I placed the ARMS 40L on my mid-length rifle, I removed my RDS and just shot with the notch to get accustomed to it for a couple months and now im pretty fast with it. I recommend them.

As far as preferring them to Troys...Ill quote Vincent Vega, "thats a bold statement!"

I just bought a set this week too. They seem to be pretty cool so far. My only problem is that when you deploy the rear the front aperture wants to flip forward a little not a big deal really since I'm no gun fighter so whatever. If I would have seen this a couple hours ago I would have totally snapped some pictures but I am minutes form my computer updated and bed. Ill try and get some tomorrow. Also like everyone else I haven't had a chance to shoot with these yet so ill let ya know. These are going to be my only sight on this gun for a while so I hope they do ok.

Quick question on the notch.

It is my understanding that the notch type sights are good for rifle sights mounted far forward due to how are eye processes information.

Just like ghost rings are horrible far forward for the eyes.

I noticed this one has a definitive notch like the CSAT sight.

Is there any validated reason for having that deep a notch? Just curious.

Instead of using hold overs at close range, some use the top of the sight?

Just like the CSAT, Use the notch for 7 yard zero. Use the small aperture for 100 yard zero.

PS Holy year old thread.
