I thought I would share my thoughts on a set of BUIS by LWRC. I have been a long time user of Troy Battle Sights, the HK variety, and will probably keep using them in the future. However, the LWRC Skirmish sights seem to be on equal footing with the Troys. I have also used Daniel Defense fixed sights, they are very nice. Just recently I had experience with the Magpul BUIS Pros, which seemed cheap, they didn't lock up when deployed and the front sight adjustment wheel was loose, I will never count on the Magpul Pros as my BUIS.
The LWRC sights installed different than the other sights mentioned. I had to slide the sights on from the ends of the picatinny rail, since they do not come apart when you loosen the screw like the Troy sights do. Once installed they are very low profile. The lock up when deployed appears very sturdy. I zeroed the sights with in three sets of three shots. One thing that impressed me is the front sight adjustment tool actually worked very well! That was a nice change. The windage adjustment was equally easy to use. The rear sight uses a rotating aperture for both close and long range engagement, very cool and it locks up positively when rotated. I also like the rounded edges and the grooves on the surface which are meant to limit any glare.
I use a lower 1/3 co-witness with my EOTech EXPS3-2 and am very pleased with the sight picture. So if you are thinking about trying a little less expensive set of BUIS the LWRCs may be a good alternative to Troy and definitely better than Magpul (in my humble opinion).
