| Is there a difference between the sights listed for airsoft use on Amazon and the more expensive sights elsewhere. They look the same to me. Should I not buy the one for airsoft. They are $20 for a pair |

Yeah huge difference....also I know the front magpul sight couldn't handle the piston block I had from Adam's Arms ....lol I melted the front sight after almost 200 rounds.
They specifically say not to mount them on a gas block because they will not stand up to the heat. It pays to read sometimes. Airsoft ones are not meant for use on a real weapon OP, I'd be surprised if they even stayed sighted properly |

Personally I think that when buying a BUIS system that's just about but not the last place to cheap out. You don't cheap out on these, in order of importance. I Barrel, 2 BCG, 3 Optics, 4 Trigger, 4 BUIS . Use whatever stock you like same for hand guard or rail system I happen to use Troy BUIS. Very solid. Use one as a stand alone till I get another ACOG.
I also believe that anyone that buys PLASTIC sights, is either a Magpul nut. Or a person that plays with guns, with no real world experience with them. In a harsh environment.

Pikie, have you seen the test where they dropped a rifle with MBUS, Troys, and I believe Knight Armament sights? The MBUS was only 1 moa off, the Troys were bent and 3 moa off, and I believe the Knights were 11 moa off. What are your thoughts on the test and how the MBUS held up compared to metal? |

Damn, can't ho outside with out messing up. Actually I'd like to see that test, if you had a link to it. As long as it's not a U-tube. I live way out in the sticks and my connection is shit! But it's never too late for an old dog to learn new tricks!! Here ya go...this made me look a little harder at the MBUS. http://kitup.military.com/2012/07/back-up-iron-sight-drop-test.html |
