CSAT COMBAT SIGHT on LT103?

[usmcvet]

How have your CSAT sights worked for you and how have they held up. I have a Troy, LMT and LT 103 on my guns. I would like to try it on the LaRue mout first to see how I like it. As you probably know they are avaliable for the Troy now too.

Also do you know if the same plane offered byLaRue is the CSAT? Their web site said it is now avaliable with XS Rear apperatures.

Any idea if it is possible to install one of the CSAT aperatures in a Troy rear sight? The Troy rear looks easy enough to disassemble, but I am curious if the CSAT ap will work....

I just found these, through a friend, I guess they are making them for the Troy flip ups now.

I bought a pair for my Troy rear sights. I sold one of my Troy BUIS and have a spare CSACT shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Just stumbled across this. Any further opinions on this, after its been out? Is this a good name pushing a gimick product? Is it a solid, useful, KISS addition to a BUIS?
Also, I can see no mention that this is same plane in XS site. Where did that information come from?
Also...are these. Better option than the regular XS same plane aperature?

It works well at 7-25 yards. With this sight there is no need to compensate and aim high. It's actually a well thought out addition and you can use it with what ever sights you have now, no need to buy a new BUIS just the aperture.

Paul Howe says it better:


"I have been shooting the AR/M-4 platform for over 25 years. My goal in developing the CSAT Combat Sight was to develop a simple system that would allow the shooter to engage targets from 0-300 yards without taking their hands off the weapon to flip sights.

The CSAT sight accommodates the shooter in CQB situations and long-range engagements without taking your head or hands off the weapon. At close range, the sight takes the thinking and calculation out of the equation and allows the shooter to fire point of aim and to surgically engage targets with ease.

Further, it is a snap to zero, and train shooters. You start at seven yards and shoot it like a pistol sight to get a baseline zero and then confirm it at 100. It will cut your zero time in half. I believe in simple is best."

Five years later, it's a good thing. Most of my rifles have flip ups and I don't use it on them, but the ones with fixed rears have the CSAT aperture.

Worst case scenario and it doesn't work for you, you still have the two normal apertures available on the rifle. Adds no weight, doesn't force you to do something new if you don't want to, and in my opinion it's a smart addition with no downside.

The fact that it allows you to shoot much closer to POA/POI inside of 25 yards is no gimmick...and the reasoning behind it seems very sound and in line with Paul's whole philosophy on shooting bad people with rifles(it was his experience in combat that you might shoot someone at bad breath distance, step out a door, and be forced to make a shot at 200.)

It's simple, rugged, accurate, and easy to use. To me it's a no brainer.

Larue installed the Csat on my LT-103, cost was $10 for return shipping.
