AR15 BUIS Question

Hi
I just want to ask if its possible to use a Flip-Up-BUIS-rearsight with the standart fix mounted frontsight?

Are there different sizes of Flip-Up-BUIS sights or do they all have the same size?

There are tall front sight posts for the non F-marked front sight base. They can be used to adjust for elevation no matter which brand of rear sight you choose to install. I've installed several tall front posts on my rifles and I use Troy, GG&G, YHM and Midwest Industries rear BUIS.

If your AR is a Bushmaster contact CS, they well send you a .040 taller front post free of charge.

Two of mine are F marked front sights and they both use the MagPul BUIS took very few rounds to zero them.
