Help settle a debate - re: BUIs, beveling, and which way they face.

[Dhena81]

I have a few of the Troy sites. They all fold AWAY from the Muzzle. The front and the rear.

The bevel goes towards the muzzle. This is the side that says "folding battle sight" on it.

If that's the way it's shown in troy's pictures and video, I don't see why the confusion.

Agreed.

So now that we have solved this mystery, which way does an Acog go?

[taloft]

It's a back up iron sight. You want it to fold away from your primary optic otherwise, it eats too much real estate.

The original design of peep sights like this are on Garands and M1 Carbines. The bevel is supposed to be the side unseen by the shooter (flat side towards shooter). Many "modern" BUIS got it wrong.

If it bothers you so much, just pull it apart and flip the apertures so it'll fold down with the small aperture in use. I did it on mine, relatively easy and doesn't change how it functions as far as adjustments go.

What he said.

If you were in the military the way Troy Industries designed their rear sight seems backwards. I took mine apart carefully and flipped it around. Just be very careful to not loose the tiny ball bearings inside.

So here's the next question - can anyone tell me the purpose of the bevel?

I don't trust a few marketing/advertising photos, especially when they conflict with each other on the same company's page and products.
