    Thank you for the tips and the Welcome

    I was considering these as it’s vet owned. I HAVE looked at the magpul ones but thought maybe aluminum was better. I may be way wrong though.

    He claims they manufacture them.

    Chris:

    Thanks a ton for your honest feedback. We’ve worked tirelessly to provide quality firearm equipment at rock bottom prices. We’re able to offer these prices because we are the manufacturer and we sell direct to customers like yourself, so there is no one increasing the prices throughout the sales process to make additional profit. You’ll paying just a bit above our cost to make it, and nothing more. Check out our Predator Red/Green Dot sight as well due to the iron sights’ effectiveness to co-witness with this optic. You won’t be disappointed!

    Best regards,

    Hope I don’t sound like a commercial, never heard of them before a few days ago.

    I will think about it until at least next month though, appreciate the help. Very much.

    I would not buy those sights. They may be quality but not worth the potential for not being GTG.

    Look for Black Friday deals on Magpul BUIS, Troy folders, or KAC micros. The Micros aren't cheap but you are talking about a part that is critical and your life may actually depend on them in certain scenarios. Nothing wrong with being patient to save up for quality. Buy once, cry once.

    Also buy a Blue Force padded sling and start putting back ammo and mags. Black Friday for mags as well. Don't forget a spare bolt.

    Don't become overwhelmed. Even those on a tight budget can plan ahead for future purchases to get where they need to be. Doesn't have to be all at once.

    Send me a PM with address and I'll get a couple of mags out to you.

    The sights are off the list. Magpul it is and I really appreciate You guys taking the time to help, experienced advice is invaluable.

    I am definitely noting all of the recommendations. Again, you are all great.

    I also appreciate the mag offer, very generous of you. Will be pm’ing.

    Thanks to you and everyone so far.

    Dumb question. I see holosun’s at tour bottom link. I understood they make the truglo tru-tec’s. Are they really that bad?

    Not arguing that they are not, just trying to learn.
    I have not seen or heard of anything relating the TruGlo to the HOLOSUN. I will say this, I have never, and will never, buy a TruGlo optic. I will spend more money to get better quality. I will add that there are some similarities between the some HOLOSUN models and some of the SIG SAUER ROMEOs. The VORTEX SPARC AR is somewhat similar in design, but is not related. Personally, I have one of the HOLOSUNs (Paralow HS403A Red Dot Sight ), a SIG SAUER ROMEO 5, and a couple of the VORTEX SPARC ARs. I have also had one of the Primary Arms Micros and a few of their other optics, including their 1-4x24 scope. These are all good quality optics and are priced to fit anyone's budget.

    They told me they manufacture everything but the stock, grip and most mags. Don’t know if that’ good or not yet.

    I have these on my list for now. Thst may change.

    Do not waste your money. If you are looking for BUISs that are good quality and that do not break the bank, the MAGPUL MBUS sights are the ticket.

    Welcome to M4C! I agree with the others on Magpul being the best low cost option for BUIS. I have several sets and they haven't let me down yet. I also love my EoTech. IMO it's hard to beat.

    I saw several conversations on this searching google. May just be some models though.

    I pick up the rifle tuesday (delay) and may change the truglo’s. At the va now, will check the Exchange policy when home.
