A rear sight? Don't do it--the light will be too bright and you will have a hard time seeing your front sight.

I would also install Trijicon front insert. I'm just trying to figure out which BUIS would accept the Trijicon front and rear set. I had a YHM flip up rear but sold it towards another BUIS. The YHM was just plain iron sites.

Don't waste your time on the rear bearing Tritium... your eye is to close to the rear sight and it will just be a blurry blob.(Ask me how I know this)
Stick with just the front sight being tritium and you'll be fine. |

I agree with everyone about it not being necessary, and think its kind of a waste myself, but if you really want one, here is another option from GG&G.

What he said. Getting a BUIS with tritium will make no functional difference, and will only raise the price. |

Holding an M16A1 with iron sights on a barricaded suspect for over two hours in poor lighting was not fun, especially when I could not see the front sight. Oh yeah, he was also firing rounds off in the back of the house. The guy gave up when SWAT showed up.

jfk, what county are you in? I met a deputy in Ventura one time, named Doug something. He carried an M16A1. They wouldn't let him modify it at all.

San Joaquin. Our Dept. issued M16A1 is nuetered and has semi parts in it, which is okay. It needs a light, tritium sights, and a better sling set-up. I'm glad we have the rifles but last months incident was an eye opener with the rifle. My own personal gear is better but Dept. policy reigns supreme.

If you;d be willing to consider it, I believe a tritium front sight by itself would be just as useful in your situation.

Add another vote for putting the front tritium sight in and leaving the rear alone.

Agree. You ONLY need the front sight post to have Tritium. |

+1 for just the front. The rear tritium dots are distracting on an AR.

Okay, which BUIS for my gun (my personal AR).

I am partial to Troy flip sights and LaRue fixed sights, although others work too. |

I use the ARMS. Locks down with a lever that's easy to throw and the sight is spring loaded to pop up when it is released. Woody |
