I recently built an AR-15 after my previous one was stolen.  :(  I didn't think ahead, but ended up getting Troy BUIS, the Micro version.  My previous build had the full size and sat in the lower 1/3rd of the EOTech 557.  Did I screw myself if I want to get the 557 again?  I have the BUIS installed at the moment, waiting on money to get the EOTech.

As far as I knew, the micro Troys weren't made for the AR, unless you had a rail system that sat higher than normal (think VLTOR except extending across the entire length of the upper). What kind of front sight do you have?

Hes correct, the Micro is for a riser type of rail. I think you need a 5/8ths riser to be exact. They wont work on a standard upper and rail system.

Mandatory photograph...



But it doesn't matter anymore.  Somewhere between shooting and cleaning, somehow the hood on the front sight took a spill.  It cracked, so when trying to straighten it out, it broke off the rest of the way.  Oh well...  I'll get the full size.  


ETA:  They felt great when shooting today, got them to zero with no issues. I like the micros very much, but I still think they might not work through the EOTech.

If you can get down in your cheekweld to get a sight picture with them, Id bet they would work. I mean Im taking a wild guess here, but with the standard Eotech mount you might have the lower third cowitness. I mean youre lowering the sights instead of putting the Eotech on a riser mount.
