| The MAD BUIS With Ranging Aperture was originally
manufactured by GG&G under a contract with Picatinny Arsenal, and
although it is ammunition and weapon specific, we decided that it was
time to offer it to a broader market.
The adjustable back up
iron sight has all of the same great features as the standard MAD BUIS
(back up iron sight) such as its low profile, solid 4140 steel and
6061-T6 aluminum construction, solid locking detent with button
release, and mil-spec finish. Unlike other adjustable sights, it has
one important exception: it is also a ranging sight. The unique
rotating multiple aperture disc has 5 apertures preset to specified
distances. In particular, 0=25 and 200yds 3=300yds 4=400yds 5=500yds
6=600yds. A small window facing the shooter, as can be seen in the
above photograph, provides a numerical cue as to the range. All
apertures are the same diameter--.070" diameter. The apertures have
been preset using the ballistic calculations for 55 grain through 62
grain ammunition used in the AR15/M16 16" carbine length weapon.
GG&G's
rotating aperture sights go beyond the performance of a normal backup
iron sight thanks to their low profile, snug installation, and field
tested accuracy. Because our aperture rifle sights are designed for
real world tactical use by police and military personnel, they have
qualities that go beyond cheap imported knockoffs found elsewhere. The
GG&G MAD backup iron sight with ranging aperture is a bestseller
thanks to extensive word-of-mouth endorsements by marksmen and armorers
around the globe, so you can count on it whether you're on the range or
out in the field. |
