    That just reads so wrong.


    Anyway, I have some low-pro Troys on my rifle and like them a lot.

    Yes, and they're awesome. I'm assembling an 11.5" upper right now and the KAC vertical 600m BUIS is mounted. I want to switch it out for the KAC 300m rear BUIS though.

There was a thread about them a couple of years back on this board but it seems to have to disappeared for some reason.
    I've been running a set on my 9mm carbine for the last six months or so. This carbine is irons only, and I'd been wanting to try the Centurions for a few years.

    It's still early days and not a whole lot of rounds since the changeover, but I'm happy so far - I've always liked the HK-style sight picture. I don't think I'd like these with an RDS, though.

    I've used the C4 rear diopter sight and it worked great with my PRI flip-up front BUIS I had on a previous build. Very fast target acquisition with these irons! I recently sold it to a member here when I couldn't source the matching front sight. I wanted to build a dedicated upper using the Centurion C4 irons exclusively, but they've been discontinued. You're only going to find them in the used market now.

    Thanks for the responses. I had gathered from my searching and reading over on WEVO that they had become somewhat scarce, but I didn't realize they had been discontinued. Maybe that's a blessing in disguise for me. If I can't get a set then I can forget about them altogether and move on.

    UPDATE: The LMT rear sight (basically a chopped carry handle) allows you to put the red dot of the Aimpoint T1 right on the tip of the front sight post if you want.

    To reiterate: a lot of back up rear sights don't let you do this. You have to "ignore" the fact that the dot doesn't center over the front sight post even when cowitnessing.

    Our rear BUIS on our service rifles are Matech.

    I like them, until they get worn out and a slight bump makes them flip up. But who knows how long that takes to actually happen, I just know a rifle I was issued to rifle qual back in the states had that problem.

    Haven't had it with my current one, though.

    I have never observed this and do not understand. If you are looking through the irons, and you have a "parallax free" RDS, and both are CORRECTLY zeroed, the dot WILL be bisected by the tip of the FSP.
