Need to buy a set of BUIS for my DD V7. Don't have the budget for on optic at this time but do plan on getting one. Thinking of either
1. Daniel Defense fixed front/rear 2. Magpul MBUS Pro 3. Troy front rear ( yeah I know,, FT) Any thoughts on these or other suggestions? Thanks! |

If you want to go outside those choices consider Primary Reflex and Samson (they used to make Troy's sights before they had a falling out a few years back) |

Politics aside, Troy's folding sights got damaged and had POI shift in a comparison test in which Magpul's MBUS did not.
Troy locks in the upright position. It is forced to absorb impact, bending or breaking. Magpul's MBUS and all steel MBUS Pro deflect when hit, transfering the force and saving the sight. KAC folding sights, probably the best, but twice as expensive, are also designed to deflect. I have both Magpul MBUS and MBUS Pro and like them both, preferring the Pro where the sight needs to be slimmer and lower when folded. Yes, the adjustments are solid. Not going to accidentally move once sighted in. |

They do not lock when deployed. There is a strong detent, but they will deflect back down if struck. |

They are smaller, stronger, and lighter than the Troy's. |

To spend a lot on iron sights because you don't want to drop more on an optic, oldest story in the book. 
I say get the Magpul MBUS gen2 ones. Save the money and buy a better optic later. I'm with this guy. Buy the cheaper Magpuls for now and put the $$ you save towards the Aimpoint. |

+1 I read this when picking my sights and went with the MBUS and I love them. Plus you can pick them up just about anywhere. |
| Ive tried the various b.u.s. including Troy, Magpul, LWRC and my absolute favorite sight is still the GG&G MAD. Its a simple low profile adjustable sight. My main complaints about the Troys were the sight always caught some light reflection and the silhouette was very distracting. I cant really describe why, I can use the carry handle sight and other b.u.s. but the Troys just always bothered me. The LWRC Skirmish are very good as well in fact Id probably say that they were my number one until I tried the GG&G MAD. |

If you plan to use a red dot optic, DD Fixed sights are the way to go, if you're going to go with magnification, go MBUS Pro. Why would that be?? I think he says this because the red dot is not magnified then it does not matter if the fixed sights are in the view and if you are using the fixed sights the front will not be magnified through the optic. However if your optic is magnified you need sights that will fold down out of the way and not become magnified through your scope. |

Absolutely correct. the MBUS sights bend, but don't break. Similarly, the MBUS PROs do not lock in the up position which I prefer....if they are struck they are more likely to fold than to bend/break. |

I say get the Magpul MBUS gen2 ones. Save the money and buy a better optic later. I agree. Earlier in the thread I mentioned I have two sets of the MBUS PRO sights. I should have pointed out that I used them where rail space was minimal and I needed the lower profile/length for them to fit. All my other ARs have the plastic MBUS Gen 2 sights and I've never had a problem with those either. |
