THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Would like to move the scope back some, so it has to clear the whole rear sight. What out there is good, relatively frugal (Backup, not main-would prefer under 100) and no thicker folded than the front portion of an ARMS 40? Nick |

I Have the ARMS #40L (low profile) and I LoVE it! Fits perfectly under my scope

At one time there was a handy dandy list of the folded heights of the major manufacturers of rear buis. I can't find it right now. If I remember right, the Troy was shorter when folded than the Swan.

The Arms 40 is an inch and the Arms 40L is still .210 taller than the Troy. |

I like the KAC Micro 0-600 which appears to be the same height as the KAC 300M flip up. It is very low profile and gives windage and elevation. I have one mounted behind my ACOG on my M4.
