If only they made a small change

Yep, definitely the #71 looks cooler and it's a solidly built polymer BUIS.  Just wish it was just a hair smaller (ie somewhere around .50" when folded) and it would be a perfect BUIS and a good value.  Sleeker looking than the MAGPUL BUIS gen 2.  And the one's I have have very tight apertures.  I've read somewhere that the first sets several years ago had problems with the aperture flipping down due the spring pressure but I think that has been resolved.
And I find it crazy that some unscrupulous people are selling fakes of the MAGPUL.  Sad.

Hello all, There are many options for BUIS (Back Up Iron Sights) for the AR15/10 platform. I've been using variations of the A.R.M.S. #40 and Knight's Armament Company iron sights for a long time. They have been solid, reliable and are extremely well desi...  

Cool Sights...

I'm a fan of the ARMS #40L

There's so many backup iron sights on the market these days. I recently installed a pair of Magpul MBUS gen 2 polymer sights and they are fairly light weight, low enough to mount under a full length riflescope, and are reasonably priced. I think I'll have... 

me too...

I got a set of the ARMS #71, I think they look cooler than the MAGPUL MBUS polymer but they are taller. -MW

Yes, there were some issues with the 71's when it was first released. The aperture would flip out due to the forward momentum when it was deployed. ARMS has supposedly fixed them so if you got a set that has this problem, definitely contact them. The #71 ...
