| What is your opinion on the Troy folding rear sight. Troy or MI .the local dealer has Troy in stock but they are about $50.00 more than the rest is it worht the extra $...ty |

The Troy has several things going for it, depending on what you like. - It's one of the lower BUIS', so will fit under more scope/mount combos. - The large aperture is active when flipped up. - The apertures are same-plane for no zero shift - The apertures are the same size as the mil-spec A2 apertures - The windage adjustment is low profile and shrouded so it doesn't get knocked out of adjustment easily - It locks in the up position - It's well made and solid - Low profile clamping screw Some of these are personal preference - some people like their windage knob to be easily adjustable, but for a combat sight, it's better to have it stay in the zeroed position. |
 New latest Troy BUIS with coin slot on my LMT carbine, I got it from Denny of Global Tactical I've got both Troy on my two tactical carbines, in my opinion it's the best designed and the strongest of all the high end BUIS for tactical use. The new Troy BUIS in my pic have the new coin slot to make windage adjustments easier, I'm very satisfied with mine and would get the same one for my next AR build project. |

If you want a rear sight that is tough and allows you to make adjustments by hand, then its the MI. I have only had mine a month or two now and I really like it. I also own a Troy, 1st generation, and can't say anything bad about it. Its tough and does the job. Its just a little tougher to adjust without a tool. |
