One of the reason I chose this YHM Upper is because I do not like that AR15 Front Post sights. With this YHM upper, you have a choice of front and rear sight, and the rails for goodies! plus it's in a nice package and decent pricing. Not to mention $8bucks to get it shipped to me door. My avatar actually came from the YHM picture. That's how it's going to look, but with MBIUS front/rear sights instead.


*I just noticed the YHM upper is out of stock. I think they had 10 last night, and three buddies bought it after I showed them the website. Keep an eye on it, they'll put more in stock. That's what I had to do*

Yea...I thought of it too.......but I decided not to since MBUIS were more famous and how could you not like the flip up Magpuls? I also remembered a friend dropped his AR15 and broked his sights because it didn't fold back into place. The Magpuls will snap back into place if you ever drop your rifle sight first!

I built mine last year. It cost me about $1000 and that includes an accessories package from valhalla armory.

AR-15 80% Lower receiver and jig set from lowerreceivers.com: $229
All other parts except lower receiver from Sarco.com: $465
CA legal bullet button system: $5
AR-15 Armorers tool: $20 (anywhere online)

At this point, after completing the rest of the lower receiver I've only spent $719, and I have a complete CA legal AR-15 style rifle.

But let's not stop there,

Valhalla Armory "Get out of dodge" kit:

When I bought this package it was $250, not $299, so let's add everything up.

All above listed: $719
Get out of dodge package: $250

Grand total: $969 + tax and shipping (can't remember, but you can imagine)

MBUS do break also.... plastic. I would look into a carry Handle and cheep fixed forward FSP before I used a BMUS as a primary aiming device. MBUS are strict back up sights. If used as a primary aiming system you need something alittle more solid. Well for a range gun and Home defense maybe not. As long as you are not using the rifle for extended periods of camping, hunting and hiking they should be fine. Just takes a bit more caution to keep they closed when not in use. One good side hit and you have no aiming system.

MBUS is a good choice too.

Oh, I forgot, I got lucky with getting it anodized - I had a friend who included it in an order for free.

I do not like the fixed FSB at all. I don't get it though. If it had a fixed FSB, it still needs a rear iron sight to be installed anyways and/or scope right? SO....if your scope goes out and you broke your rear iron sight, you're only left with the fixed FSB. You will still have a difficulty time aiming with just the FSB sight, unless I am missing something here? I just dislike that front FSB and that's why I built mine like this.

Picking up my Spikes Lower on the 21st. Waiting for the upper and everything else through USPS in the next few days.

I came across a Youtube video of how it will actually look after I put mine together. The only different is mine will be a Spikes lower. I might buy a YHM lower to make a complete YHM Black Rifle....maybe....tempting....my wallet....it hurts....
