Alternate title: Why you need BUIS \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

This rifle was one of the ones at the ARFCOM TN shoot.<\/p>\n

Pretty, ain’t she? Slidefire<\/a>\"\", Magpul MVG<\/a>\"\", Magpul MOE Handguard<\/a>\"\". Beautiful.<\/p>\n

But there’s a problem.<\/p>\n

The EOTech (either an XPS2<\/a>\"\" or an XPS3<\/a>\"\", I can’t tell) had it’s lower piece of glass just kind of banging around inside the housing.<\/p>\n

That’s a bad day. I think the same gentleman also had a BCG lock up inside a rifle. Really, really bad day.<\/p>\n

The very first time I ever went shooting with Oleg<\/a>, two very embarrassing things happened.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I<\/em> was the reason we had to wear hearing protection, because I was the only one without suppressors<\/li>\n
  2. The alkaline batteries in my EOTech 512 had blown up and corroded the battery compartment, rendering it useless<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I also didn’t have backup irons on that rifle. I pretty quickly was able to repair the EOTech (replacement parts are cheap) and within a couple of weeks had put on an MBUS rear sight<\/a>\"\" and a YHM Front Sight.<\/p>\n

    There is an argument to be made<\/a> about not putting backup sights on all your rifles, but two is one and one is none. You can do what this guy did, though: Bring lots of rifles \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
