matech buis
Very happy with matech buis. Have used on numerous builds. Narrow peep post insures unclutterd field of view. Co-witnesses well with red dot and both eyes open. Typical 5 round groups with floated handguard, a2 front post carbine from bench at 100 yards are 1.5 to 2 in groups with old eyes.

Matech BUIS
For me, this is the best BUIS that I install on all my FSB carbines. Installation is easy with tight lockup, and each has been dead on accurate without any windage adjustment necessary. The only adjustment had been to my FSB for elevation adjustment. For me, this is a great, rear BUIS.

Real Deal
A gotta have back up sight. Well made and works. Happy with this purchase
Military Tested and looks awesome
I have four on clone builds but even so this is my favorite rear back up sight. I love the apperture. Its the perfect size. The range adjustments are accurate and its easy to use and zero. The sight stows and works woth my Aimpoints and ACOGs perfect. People complain about the detente but I've never had one fail. I dont play with it or use it much. The mount could be a little more heavy duty but replacements are available. The commercial marking dosent bother me and the sigjt looks very cool. I have one on backorder right now for an M16A4 clone on a Colt AR15A4. I will never go back to the pilymer Magpul mbus sights. I do recommend buying them new so you dont get a worn out one but like U said Im not worried about the commercial Picatinny marking. This buis is awesome.
The authentic GI item
I own four of these, now. Years ago, I wanted to recreate my USAF M-4 as closely as I could (without a tax stamp), and found that this MATECH was my issued rear sight. If you are a stickler for mil-spec or nostalgic about your issued rifle, this is your BUIS! And, it's perfectly serviceable: precisely calibrated at carbine and rifle sight radii for an A2 front tower and M855 ammo, and of course works well enough with other bullet weights and rail mount front sights at varying radii. Installs easily, usually fits underneath lower 1/3 optics, fairly sturdy, snaps open with authority and closes positively. Downside? Cost for performance ratio. You pay for all of that intricate white lettering and precision machined elevation cam, etc. So, you can get a modern polymer sight for 1/4 the price, and a simpler, more rugged premium brand steel sight for 2/3 the price. Plus, you may want to have modern rifle aesthetics with matching front and rear BUIS. But, if you like the milspec look, splurge on this quality item and you aren't giving up any performance, and even gain the ability to BDC your ball rounds if you take time to follow the sight in instructions and match the GI sight radius.
A MUST HAVE!
If you owned this product in the past and experienced walking pins and stripping... You unfortunately bought a generic clone. If it's the real deal, you'll notice it's rather expensive. I love this sight. Very solid and locks down tight. Nice low profile in it's stowed positron. It'll never fail on you. This will survive WWIII and beyond. No gimmick or fancy features. Just robust, solid, true performance. My matech came with the picatinny logo and their name Laser etched on the right side by the windage knob.
Lowest profile BUIS that i am aware of
This sight folds down to almost nothing. I have had a lot of BUIS come and go. All where and still are very good. This one is just lower profile. This is not the sight i would choose for match rifle shooting. It is also not designed to do that. I was designed to be small, lightweight, low profile and tough. It is all of those things.
Inspires Confidence
For those who were brought up with, and used iron sights for half their adult life before moving to optics, this sight really in 2nd to none. It can stand its ground as the primary sight too because once the weapon is properly zeroed, the range marking can be trusted. Just dial up or down to suit. Good solid reliable sight.
