LMKtell me what u want for one... there's a lot of different choices..
I suggest a Colt AR-15... we have 2 pre-1994 ban ones (they still have the flash suppressor) one was at like $1325, and idk bout the other, maybe a little less...
-
Pre-ban doesn't matter any more as you can buy anything current and let it have a flash hider....
-
However the pre-bans are worth coin to people in CA, CT, where they have statewide "assault rifle" bans.

wtf do you have the optic up so high for?
-
bader hit it on the head. its level with the irons, well once i get the rear one here it will be. Hopefully absolute co-witnessed which means the dot is in the same plain as the irons. if not it will be 1/3 co-witnessed which means the irons are in the 1/3 bottom of the optic. and it is forward so i can have the rear iron mounted.
Im still debating on a fixed or flip up rear sight for it... I like the flip ups, but i love how ridged the fixed LMT sights are. And it wont matter as it ill be co-witnessed with the optic.
This is the next optic i wanna try when i have the money and the rest off the gun is finished... http://www.burrisoptics.com/ar332.html

have you had a chance to try an EOTech HWS?
I got a chance to play with one last week. Before actually looking through one mounted on a weapon, i didn't "get it". Now that I have, it makes sense. The target acquisition speed is really pretty impressive.. much better than even very high quality iron sights.
For a CQB rifle, i think an EOTech stlye optic is hard to beat. The rear sight should be a folder that you'd want to keep down when the EOTech was functional. The optic should be on a quick-disconnect mount as well. LaRue tactical sells what is probably the top-shelf setup.
I didn't like that turning the EOTech on/off was as finnicky as it was.. the model i used had the soft rubber buttons on the back of the unit.
With a conventional optic, I might mount it further to the rear. The Troy BUIS I'm familiar with in the down position lets you get a normal small optic like that very close to the back of the rail, especially if the optic is on a QD mount.
-
you dont need to have the optic on a quick mount if it is co-witnessed. you dont even need a flip up if it is done right. There is a lot of info concening this on ar15.com if it is co-witnessed properly and your optic dies, you look right through the optic with your irons... so there is no need to remove it.
Also i like the eotech but i hate how you can not seal the lens/view window from the weather. that is why i like the burris/aimpoint/tactedge style better.
-
even if you get a glass failure or the seal is compromised and the interior fogs or something? co-witnessing still requires the glass to pass images relatively distortion free, right?
I figured that the BUIS use case was something that prevented the optic from passing an image at all.. did I misunderstand?
-
See the picture of my AR...
Larue/Troy Flipup Irons, Aimpoint Comp ML3 on Larue LT-150 mount, and Aimpoint 3x mag on Larue Pivot Mount.... Lower 1/3 cowitness with zero issues. The beauty of the dot is you can adjust it for POA/POI with your irons. If you haven't seen the magpul dynamics videos they have an excellent section on zeroing irons & optic on the first disc.
-
im jealous of your setup! lol. my original setup was goin to be an Eotech with 3x magnifier on the Eotech flip mount. but that is another grand away.... Also i may be putting this optic on another gun once i get my expensive setup for this rifle. I have a hi-point 995 9mm carbine that i picked up dirt cheap.
also, the magpul discs are awesome!

those guys are good at what they do.

I'd be willing to sell my Aimpoint setup if you're interested....
-
Im gonna wait on buying a better optic til i have the rest of the gun done. I wanna get my rail system, FUG, laser, Magpul ASAP, Magpul MS2 sling, rear BUIS, and light first. the red/green dot i have now is good enought. its 100% fog proof, water proof, and weather proof. So not in a hurry to upgrade yet.
