Troy Industries Front Folding Tritium M4 Style Battle Sight (Flat Dark Earth)


Great Sight
I purchased the Troy fixed front sight and this fixed rear. Finish is good, I'm not really a fanatic about the looks just wanted a quality set of sights that work. I'm using a YHM lightweight quad specter length that gives me a long sight radius between the sight picture. The rear sight is the A1 style and I'm using them as my primary sights. I don't mount red dots or scopes just shoot a 250m zero and they work fine. Small aperture and large are on the same plain. Sturdy rugged and lightweight. No hassle sighting and I would recommend these over the "plastic flippers" we all know about. Some things need to remain metal and I'm a fan of polymer but as a primary sight system these are hard to beat. Remember to pick up an A1/A2 sight combo tool.
Didn't work for me:(
Just did't work for me. Didn't like sight picture seemed fuzzy. Turn it around backwards and it is much better.
What Can I Say?
Well built, installs easily and simply works.

What more can one say other than it does all of this without fancy (difficult to use or delicate) controls and is very sturdy due to its all metal construction.

Midwest Industries Gen 2 SS-Series 15-Inch Rail, Black


BEST RAIL ON THE MARKET.
I will be up front and say I watched tons of videos/reviews on rails before I purchased this item. The look I wanted was "LVOA-C" which is a really long hand-guard. The rail is very very lite weight and built nicely. It installs and removes quickly and works with most low profile blocks. I didn't purchase one, instead used the standard m4 front sight block. I grinded it down to fit and does awesome.

The rail fits tight on the flat top upper (PSA) and stays aligned with the t marks. It feels awesome in your hand, not sharp on your hands, and comes with rails for tac handle or light/laser mount. The rail shipped fast and was on my gun in a few hours. I LOVE IT!!!
Looks bad a$$ on a 16" barrel
This went on my my first build. It looks awesome on a carbine barrel. It feels sturdy, but I don't run my stuff hard so I can't comment on durability/longevity. I don't think I am ever going to have a problem with it. It is super thin and light weight. The extra rail peices make it easy to mount a vfg. It does include a bipod stud and a rail piece with a qd hole
Great Rail
Received in Prime time. Great fit, finish and very easy to install. 15in on 16.5in barrel looks great.... Would highly recommend this rail to anyone....

Midwest Industries Gen 2 SS-Series 12-Inch Rail, Black


Nice float guard.
This is a nice float guard. Quality and easy to mount,and light weight. Comes with lock tight, can be taken apart after lock tighting it. Only con is two of the rails are polymer (plastic) so be careful to not over tighten mounting screws or get after market attachable rails (check hole mount spacing). I have replaced other hand guards with these. It also comes in different lengths and colors.
This is a fantastic rail!!
I installed on my AR with no problems. Have another AR with a Samson Manuf rail of similar features and price. I like this one better since the accessory rails can be mounted with screws from the outside of the rail. Very easy.
On the Samson rail, if you need to install accessory rails after the rail is mounted to gun, you need to figure a way to hold a backing plate to the inside of the rail while screwing in the screw from the outside. Best bet is to install them BEFORE mounting the handguard. If I didn't have an extendable mechanics magnet, I don't know how I'd install these rails if I need to get in near the mid area to barrel nut area.
I'm building another 20" AR for the fun and experience and possible sale. I'll be buying another MI Gen 2 rail for this gun as well.
Very nice quad rail for the price.
This rail is FAR better than the Fortis REV that I bought for a second AR15 I was building. This rail actually fit over the low profile gas block properly AND it came with its own barrel nut.

My only complaint is, and the reason for 1 star reduction, is that the 2 plastic rail pieces broke when torqued down to 35 inch pounds like the instructions said. If I had it to do over again I would buy this rail in a heartbeat and I will likely buy more in the future. I will just torque down the added rail panels to 30 inch pounds instead.

I would heartily recommend this rail to another person! I installed the Fortis REV first on the other AR15 and I was dreading installing this one because the Fortis REV was such a pain in the ass to put on. I should have just sent it back and gotten another one of these!
