I would go with the ARMS #40, it is a little bit more money but it is worth it. If you shop around you should be able to find one for about $80-$90.
this place has them for $94.99 [url]www.kieslersonline.com/product/ko_armsmounts.asp?navback=index.asp[/url] |

I like the GG&G MAD flip up better than my ARMS #40. Mainly because you can open and close it with one hand easily. I have both, and I may sell my 40s and go all MAD. I still have some new ones not installed yet.

I have the GGG MAD, ARMS #40 and a DPMS all on different rifles. The ARMS #40 is the most practical. If clearance is an issue then go with the MAD. The DPMS is bullet proof but doesn't fold down.

i think i can live with the not folding down issue since i want to get an offset mount anyway. i will be shooting with just the buis for a while(hopefully not too long though).

Tapco has carry handles for like 50 bucks. You can use that for now, and cut it down later when you add an optic.

I recall a thread (no time to hunt right now) where someone cut one of those Leapers carry handles for a BUIS. I think that he had a horrible time getting it clamped down with only one screw, and it wouldn't hold zero worth a damn. |

ARMS #40 all the way. the spring loaded action help keep the sight upright even if brush again objects. The nice spring action although can be jammed by lots of mud, but it is not big deal, you just give it a little push to help it up.

Legal Transfers just put the #40 on sale for $85 + SH
I have the #40 and the KAC 600m. I like the KAC a little better, but it is not worth twice the $, and the big hole on the #40 is better for quick work. |

I put together my M4gry using the EE almost exclusively. I paid 125 for the KAC BUIS. |

That's a heck of a price for that sight. I paid a little more, and still thought I was getting a great deal. I needed a flip up that was height adjustable, and that was the only one on the market.
The KAC 300m can't hold a candle to it, or to the #40, IMHO. |

BTW, here's the $85 sale thread (no, I have no affiliation, just thought it was relevant to this topic. If I am breaking any rules, I apologoze).

kieslersonline.com has the dpms for 59.95 i think ill go with them. they also have a great price ont the #40 too but i'm gonna have to wait a little while. i figure ill use it for a while and sell it on ebay and then get the #40. that'll give the wife some time to forget about all of the money ive been spending. i havent heard anybody say anything real bad about the dpms sight yet so i think it'll be OK till i can upgrade. they also have the fobus g27's for 19.99 which im gonna get also, thats the best price ive seen on those too.
thanks alot guys!! |

I am quite happy with my ARMS #40. For me clearance is an issue, but my SN-4 still manages to clear fine. I asked around before I bought, and it was down to GG&G and the ARMS. I finally went with the ARMS and I am really glad that I did. I'm quite satisfied with the results:

I've been toying around with the idea of picking one up just to see if I could do it. I figured I'd start with a cheap one instead of ruining the one I bought for 100 bucks. [:D] I did do this, I started with a Leapers MIC unit, as a "test". The face of the handle that the rear sight rests against was completely out of plane. I had to build up the face with JB Weld, file and smooth and level it, just to get it to shoot straight. I then did the cut to my Bushmaster carry handle, like I should have done in the first place. The project is actually easy, once you get over cutting that $100. Just cut the upper arm, leaving enough material to protect the sight, and at whatever angle you like. I gave mine a slight forward angle. And cut the bottom rail in front of the rear clamp. Over cut both, so you have some area to clean up, and square off the cuts. I refinished the sight base with Brownell's Teflon/Moly. It came out sweeeet![:)] ED;OBTW, I also use an ARMS# 40 on another M4, but I changed out the cut "horizon line" aperature, to a modified A1 aperature. |

I had the ARMS #40 I really liked the sight but the rear aperature was a pain in the ASS.
I Have a KAC 600M and I really like it better. I have used the 300M too and I like them but I also preffer the 300-600M potential of the 600m BUIS [b]The KAC sights have a lot less clutter and don't obscure as much of the target.[/b] |

without question the ARMS #40. used it during OIF through some pretty rough handling, never lost zero, easy to get to, tough as nails. used KAC 300 before...good BUIS, but for my money the #40 gets the vote.
