needs optics. for a simple build I'd go M3 or the mini aimpoint everyone is flipping over at the moment. for a little longer range I would go with a 1-4 variable. I really like the new trijicon.

LOL... I think someone at GG&G must have pee'd in Techniques lemonade at some point. I got the same critique 8 months ago on a build utilizing a GG&G Dominator upper, and he could not stand the rear sight. NO offense taken- it's all good. I DO agree that there are some BETTER BUIS choices out there though.

I was actually going towards the Magpul MBUS but I saw the GG&G BUIS on the "Private Firearm Accessories" for $55 shipped so I couldnt resist. Yeah I know everyone here prefers Troy but at least the GG&G is all metal compared to the MBUS.

Yeah I was thinking Aimpoint Mini (I believe its the T-1 Micro)...but for now I plan on just learning how to use the irons and will upgrade after I buy a handgun in December (21 woohoo!!!!). What Trijicon were you talking about? The new ACOGs?

GG&G refused to repair an ACOG mount of mine...they claimed a carbine class isn't "standard use".
So what is? Looking at it?
I broke the thing when it got snagged on my gear. Luckily, Thats what BUIS are for...I have seen a few Aimpoint mounts of theirs fail in a similar fashion. There for, I do not use or recommend GG&G for anything.

On a side note, the rear sight (it has been a good long while since I have seen one) IIRC is much like the MI rear sight, it actually moves while you fire...now if you don't fire fast...you'll never even notice. But if you do you'll know what I'm talking about.

TROY is probly the best all around sight. No denying that. However you can pick up a MAtech to around $40....


Didn't mean to piss in your cheerios but you did ask for critique.
You did an excellent first build.

GG&G does make a few solid feeling sights, and a few that just suck. That $150 spring actuated BUIS is a solid and functional sight. I have had 2 of the apparent higher end sights, and they just feel almost airsoft like.

Its all good, i take "constructive" criticism well. The reason I dont like Matech is because I want dual apertures. I might just end up going with Troy...

The Matech aperature is not as small as you may think. I could not see myself using a hole larger on that style of sight. Also, because the peep arm stands alone without any side structures, the view is totally clean.
