I like fixed irons, so I want to start out with a DD fixed rear iron sight (the A 1.5 I think).  Then, I want to put an Aimpoint, probably like the new Patrol optic, in a cantilever or regular mount, probably a Larue or similar, at the very front of the upper receiver's rail.  Then in the middle, I want a 3x magnifier, either an Aimpoint or a Vortex, in a quick disconnect mount or flip to the side mount, probably Larue or similar.  Also, I would like lower 1/3 cowitness b/c that's what I have my other ARs set to.  So, starting from the rear, DD rear fixed sight, then 3x magnifier, then Aimpoint RDS with the magnifier and optic at lower 1/3 cowitness.  Is this possible, and if so, please suggest mounts to do this with.  I know there are guys here with much more experience than I so I appreciate all the help.  Thanks.

There won't be enough room to mount that all on the receiver if you want a fixed rear sight. It can be done with a folding rear though.

No.  And keep in mind the eye relief on the 3x.  It will be up too far if set in front of a fixed BUIS.

what other kind of flip rear BUIS are good besides Troy b/c I haven't looked at flip rear irons for a long time.

As stated above, not enough rail space even with a cantilever mount:







I use a Troy rear BUIS.
