SECOND one down without a doubt !!!!!!!! More options available !!

What mount and optic is that and do you look through the rear sight to see into it? |
|
Go with the CAR A4. I went with the Tactical Entry myself. If you want to use an Eotech for your optics, get it with the Dominator. This will give you a lower 1/3 cowitness. If you are looking to mount an Aimpoint, you can mount it to the Tactical Carry handle with some low profile rings and still get a lower 1/3 cowitness. I think the exact name of the rings to buy are on the RRA Forum under Industry. |
Yeah, and I actually took them to combat  ARMS, GG&G, Larue, all the BUIS you are going to get are being used and abused in Iraq right now. I personally went with a fixed LMT A2 rear sight assembly. Basically the UTE2 config, but I can take it off if I ever want to do anything different. If you plan to use an Aimpoint on your new rifle, I have an extra ARMS 22M68 throwlever mount with cantilever spacer for you. Let me know. (Turn on your IM too) |
Back up iron sights that bolt on to an A4 upper are plenty stable and solid. There is NO need to worry about them loosing zero because they are not a permenant part of the receiver. The A4 upper gives you plenty more options in the long run. |
| I bought the Elite CAR UTE2 and used it for a while with an EOtech. It worked very well. I thought I would be fine not being able to use a magnified scope... but eventually the ACOG bug bit. I would go flat top from the start if I were you. Someday you'll get sick of the fixed rear sight. |
Agreed but you don't gain anything by having a UTE and you lose a standard spec upper and the versatility that goes with it. |
Edited my original statement in bold caps. |
+1 |

go with #2, you get both worlds and the option of which one you want. With #1 you are stuck with the fixed sight only, but then again... if it's going to be a patrol rifle for your department and going in and out of your trunk all the time I'd go with #1 after all, just for the durability of the attached sight, and later on down the road when you want to get something different you can justify buying a second rifle...

Disagree. Nobody in Iraq has trouble with removable GI carry handles or BUIS. The mentally of an abused "patrol rifle" is bullshit. Riding around in a squad car is not combat. |
I agree that a patrol rifle does not get near the abuse of a combat rifle. Even my SWAT rifle doesn't get beat up much at all, nothing like our guys overseas put theirs through. |
Yeah, we're not doing hostage rescue often (although we did two weeks ago) but we do have a lot of high risk drug warrants, and the occasional barricaded subject. |
The flip up sights, from the well know and trusted suppliers, are absolutely rock solid. BUIS LINK |
