Best "rough-house" BUIS

[The_War_Wagon]

After running GG&G, Magpul (Gen.1), and a DD fixed rear, I got my first set of Troy folders on my M&P15T a few years ago. I've switched to ALL Troy folders ALL the time now (save for a Magpul rear on my TacSol dedicated .22LR AR). NEVER an issue!

Over the years I've owned ARMS, GG and G, PRI, YHI, Magpul, Matech, KAC, DD, and Troy, and probably a few more. My favorites are Troys and I like the KAC micro.

Best fixed sights out there in my opinion are the Daniel Defense. If you want to go with folders look at Troy

+1 on the DD's. I have never used anything but fixed DD's. The good thing about fixed is that you don't have to work about a spring or mechanical part failing. I would say you can "rough house" fixed sights as hard as you want.

I can't speak for front BUIS, as I run a fixed front sight post, but as far as rear BUIS go, I use a DD A1.5 on both two of my carbines, and they've taken a fair amount of abuse (from being knocked around during classes, to being knocked against barricades when shooting drills) while retaining zero.

Basically, any fixed BUIS, that has a rather rugged profile (LMT, DD, or a chopped carry handle) should do well.

My M4 and I fell off of an ATV at decent speed and I landed on top of my gun. The rear Laure sight dug a 4" deep gouge in the ground, and was completely full of dirt, but was still right on once I cleaned it out. The thing is built like a tank!

If it matters, the Matech does not have a large aperture.

Troy makes some of the best BUIS out there IMO.

I had a Daniel Defense fixed rear sight for a while. It is a quality sight, but I prefer folding sights.
