Troy Folding Battle Sight Rear, T6 Aircraft Aluminum - Black FBS-R0BT-00 Great rear sight. I use the standard AR front sight and the Troy Co-witnesses through my EO Tech. When folded, it fits under the magnifier perfectly. Apertures are adequate even for the old man's eyes! Bulletproof sight...as sturdy as they come. A little expensive compared to other name brand comparible sights, but still worth every penny.

This seems to be sort of the standard when it comes to folding AR BUIS. I liked my DD fixed, but wanted to mount a scope so I had to go with a folding sight. Checked out other alternatives, but none seemed better than the Troy. Now that it is on my rifle, I have no regrets.

Yes, there are mush less expensive sights on the market, but I have found over and over the old saying "you get what you pay for" rings true for almost all the options I've added to my AR15. I can directly compare my items to the items my son purchases for his Ar15. His budget is lower than mine and the cheaper items he can afford show the difference in quality of the products. His sights work but have much more slop or play in them. BUT, he bought both front and rear sights for about what I paid for just the Troy rear sight. It's a trade off.

I examined several sight before choosing the Troy. It folds to a lower height than any of the others and was easiest to use.

Bought these to replace some A.R.M.S plastic flip up sights on my AR. The dual apertures help transition from short to long range. It is high enough to co-view through an EOtech optic and folds down to get out of the way. All around a great product.

Pros:  Extremely rugged, holds zero, very compact when folded
Cons:  Hard to adjust windage, can't fold down when using small peep
Would recommend:  yes

Troy folding battlesights are the gold standard to which all other sights are compared. They are costly, but well worth every penny, in terms of their durability and build quality. I was not a fan of peep sights until mounting these. The only thing I dislike about them is that they are hard to adjust for windage. It is not tool-less as suggested by the description; you need a dime or screwdriver, or alternatively, a small allen wrench or punch, to adjust them. The tip of a bullet isn't quite pointed enough to work. It doesn't mention this in the description, but the sight is same-plane for both apertures - i.e. if you are zero'ed with the small one, you retain that zero with the large one. The sights lock firmly into place in the up position, and you must press hard on the release button to unlock and lower them. They must be manually raised (no spring assist), but can be raised instantly from the folded position (no need to press the button).

Troy flip up battle sights are tough as nails. They hold zero and fold down to accommodate my aimpoint magnifier. The only downside is that you can't fold the sight down when you use the small peephole.
