    Currently running polymer Magpul MBUS on two rifles and they work great as backup sights. Eventually I'll upgrade to KAC on one of the rifles. Also DD fixed and FSB on another and I'm very pleased with DD as well. Only downside with the DD fixed rear sight is that it doesn't fold down.

    The highest damage and wear portion of irons tend to be the upper area of either side of the base. I primarily only use Magpul steel irons or KAC's micros, which tend to hold up very well and maintain a low profile, low 'snag' design.

    The ultra-low profile folding irons are a particular advantage when running a rifle mounted RMR as the dedicated optic, on an ultra low base. Some of these irons will fold below the level of the RMR's lens, and while upright will stand tall enough to function above the RMR's guard.

    For additional information search for iron sights and you will find several threads with lots of input.

    I run KAC micros on my 5.56 guns. I'm using the LMT L8BUIS308 set for my MWS, but they also make a set specifically for 5.56 (L8BUIS556). These would be my choice. I've also used the Troy BUIS, which is another solid option.

    For flip ups without a budget, I like the MBUS pro or KAC. If on a budget, MBUS (polymer) are hands down the best option, and leave little to be desired. Right now I have one upper with MBUS pro, and another that came with KAC sights.

    We've had so many of these...

    OP, this is just my opinion but I've never understood why anyone would get anything other than regular MBUS or the Pros. For folders anyways.

    I have KAC, Matech (r), Magpul Pro, Troy, LMT (r), and DD (f). Good things to say about all of them.

    I ended up using the Magpul Pro, small size is what sold me.

    I have several brands of BUIS, I have come to the conclusion that Troy are the best, this is because there are no buttons or levers to remember when it is time to deploy and also because they lock into the up position.
