According to Troy, there are or were, at least three different variations of the rear sight aperture. All are "correct," but the newest one is the one everyone talks about. The newest one has the small hole on the side of the shooters eye, and the large hole on the side away from the shooter.
The way to simulate that is to take a funnel and look through the small end. That is the way the newest aperture looks. All work fine as well. You do not have a defective sight, if the apertures are different, you just have an earlier version. |

I tried and mailed Troy, but no answer ...!
Does anybody have the size hole specs of the Troy folding BUIS? May I use an XS sight systems aperture? I like the XS´s .100 for general use, but for the big one .200 is enough, I don´t care for XS´s .230 ... Thanks in advance, H |

The Troy rear aperture is a proprietary design. You can't swap it out with that of another manufacturer. |

I am curious if other manufacturers sights are the "correct" or "incorrect" way.
Anyone know? Sorry for the hijack. TIA. Seydou |

catfish,
My Troy has the conical side toward the shooter. I believe this is the natural orientation, since the ARMS 40L, and the carry handle both use this. I read here once, that the orientation had beneficial properties in the "other direction" as well IIRC (was that the Knights Armament representative? I think he was instrumental in the design/manufacture of many of the fundamental aspects of today's M16/M4 and its accessories) Redfisher |

So, gents, please:
1:what are the diameters of the Troy, 2. are they same plane, and 3. do they take into account the 1/4 turn on the screw when changing apertures? Thanx, H |

1. I dont know but its plenty close to milspec. 2. Yes 3. Yes, this is the best rear sight made they are not retard idiots with no clue. Is there actually a sight that does not account for the 1/4 turn? I cant imagine this being a possibility. |

Umm...yes, that is how you MOUNT it. They are talking about the peep hole itself; which direction the concave side is supposed to face. The last I heard the concave side is facing the muzzle, where as on a carry handle the concave side of the sight is towards your eye. |
