Who makes the best back up iron sight for an AR?

Any recommendations for one that has rear elevation adjustment?

Are the Magpul MBUS Pros any good?

I have Magpul and Troy..

I think both are great..

Either one should be fine I imagine..

For the amount that I use my BUIS on my AR-15, whatever is the cheapest but good quality would work. I have the MagPul poly MBUIS ones and they work just fine.

If you truly use them like a BUIS, and not full time, I really like the KAC Micro. if you want a full time iron sight, I'd go for something fixed, and more robust.

How is that possible? I mean to have a poly MBUIS,since the "I" stands for iron.Surely you meant MBUS???

The USGI Matech has a elevation setting for 200 -600 yards
KAC and LMT have A2 style fixed rear sights with elevation.

I was digging around and found an old set of MBUS ...

PM if you are interested in buying them.. You're not that far away to meet in the middle..

I really like KAC, but they're pricey.
Troy are excellent and reasonably priced, but there is a bit of controversy with their hiring practices... (http://www.thebangswitch.com/the-hiring-follies-of-troy-industries/)
The new MBUS Pro looks nice as well...

I got a sweet deal on some Troy Battle sights, but I have seen the MBSU Pro for around $130ish on sale lately.
