I'm sure there is somewhere, but what size batch would they require, and what would be the cost for small batches?

For manufacturing, I'd need to design it around common retainer pin/bolt and nut, go through it to make sure there aren't any unnecessary cuts.

I was thinking more about this on my drive home from Stillwater. And I don't see how it going to work well without having any type of adjustment. I mean it may be close at 25 yards and that'd be great, but what if it isn't? I've had iron sights that were pretty far off initially and had to adjust them to get close.

But I really like the idea of fixed offset BUIS. I really like how the Troy BUIS are attached to the rail. Maybe an idea for these.

Yeah, there's certainly some work left to do.

I got carried away...

Well, first I'd have to know if the Troy attachment was copyrighted/patented. I've never actually played with the Troy sights myself. I wouldn't be much harder to do a Novak type cut and install something similar to the Low Mount sights. Which would also allow the option of later upgrading to tritium sights if desired. That would allow for the sights to be set for the particular rifle. The JP system does this.
