    I am not as anti-Matech as some.
    Often for less than an MBUS, you get a metal, issue sight.

    If money is an issue, I would at least check out a buddies to see if it is for you.

    I like my MBUS rear sight. I have no problem with it, and it zeros fine. When it's on a pistol, its called polymer, just like the Glocks all you guys love.

    Running Troy's on two of my AR's and they have been rock solid.

    Granted the extent of my "stress testing" is taking the AR's to classes and to the range & back... so not exactly pushing them.

    Rear Sight Recommendation

    KAC if you have the spare change.

    Hard to beat the MBUS for value though, I can think of a lot of things on the gun I'd rather put $300 towards.

    For value the MBUS2 seems hard to beat. Unlike the first gen Magpul MBUS, the second gen offers both apertures. $55 or so.

    I also have the Troy rear folding battlesight people have mentioned, and I like it.

    If I had a bunch more money, I'd go KAC

    I don't quite get how this feature is causing interference with any operations.

    I also have the Matech buis in your picture. While it's fine, nothing wrong with it, it does provide a much bulkier package than any of the slimmer KAC offerings.
    That's my point. Why have a big finger adjustable windage knob on your buis? You gotta use a bullet to change the elevation, might as well use the bullet to set the windage.

    The windage knob doesn't cause any interference. I think it's ugly and it gets on my nerves.

    The real moral of the story is use an Aimpoint. I've seen more ****ed up buis than Aimpoints...

    We have two rifles in the house with MBUS, two with BCM branded Troy rear sights. I like the Troys, and the MBUS are on the wife's rifles. I'd love to see the MBUS done in machined aluminum but they'd be expensive as all get out. I like that both use a flip aperture with long and short range apertures, the MBUS can be adjusted for windage without tools, the Troys use a penny.

    Please edit your post to reflect why you only use Troy. We are in the business of helping people around here.
    - Why do you use Troy?
    - What else have you used?
    - How many sets have you had?
    - How long have you been using them?

    There's a big difference between "I have 4 sets at home, and one set on my carbine I use in A-stan*...blah blah blah" and "This is my first set of Troys I bought for my optics-ready Bushmaster and I love them".

    No matter what your answer and background is it will help the OP in his choice.

    *Yes, I have Troy's on my AR over here. I wish they were KAC's, but they were issued.
