Since you guys were helpful with my reflex/red dot sight decision I now come to you for backup sights.

My Windham has the A.R.M.S. 71L F/R set. I'm looking now for a set of backup sights for my newly built AR. I'm not looking to empty my bank c account out. Having said that I can't see spending more than $100 on BUIS.

I do like the A.R.M.S. sights that are on my Windham but I've also been looking at the Magpul MBUS gen 2s. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Since I only have experience with the A.R.M.S. 71s in definitely looking for proof and con's of different BUIS. Thanks.

If you don't need elevation adjustment at the rear, the folding Magpul MBUS Gen 2 is very rugged, reliable and effective.  No need to spend more.  They just work.

Thanks. Been going back and forth on which set to get. Almost pulled the trigger on the MBUS at the range the other day. Ended up opting for another PMAG instead.

I do like having the option for windage/elevation adjustments. I ended up ordering the ARMS 71L set. Got tired of going back and forth on which set. Thanks for the input.

Sights came in today. Which is surprising because I ordered them on Christmas Eve at 1900. My AFG2 was ordered on December 18th and I still haven't gotten it.

Yes, I realize they look crooked. They are not, it's just the angle I was holding the rifle at.

My Raptor charging handle also came in too.

The Tallest,

I personally like the Magpul brands myself. Even though their basically made of polymer the sights are rugged enough for civilian life. ARMS is also good but a little more expensive.
Get what ever fits your pocket book as they're both good products.
