Never let me down while deployed.
I spent years with this on my rifle. It always worked flawlessly, and as it should. I will be buying one for my personal AR.

Great BUIS
So, I bought this sight somewhat out of nostalgia, but this is an outstanding rear BUIS. This was the trusty rear sight that I qualified and deployed with so many times, so I knew that it was accurate, dependable, and able to withstand a good amount of use/abuse. It's low-profile, doesn't take up much rail space, and (my favorite part) it's adjustable out to 600 meters. Granted, I think the farthest I've shot (point target) with this sight has been at 400m, which is plenty far enough for BUIS, but if you want adjustment out to 600m it's there for you. It's a classic that has served me well and brought back some fond memories, too, especially if you're using an A2 front sight as well. I'd recommend it.

A must have
I can see why this is the standard issue backup iron sight on all M4/M16. Holds tight on the rail. Very accurate and precise. Holds zero. Easy to use. It's low profile makes it fit under most optics. It is ideal to use this to co-witness with red dot sights. On the right side, it has a laser engraving of picatinny's name and logo.

Low profile, excellent qu
Low profile, excellent quality, windage AND elevation adjustments,consistant and solid make this iron sight my only back up. My first one came with a colt upper and a got a few more. I read a review complaining about a pin walking out: it has not been my experience. I highly recommand it. Also CTD's price is excellent.
