I saw a comparison of the Magpul BUS, Knights Armament and Troy offerings.....with the Magpul being cheaper by more than half compared to the others....They did a drop test, both the troy and Knights were damaged enough that one was something like 5-6MOA off and no longer adjustable and the other was 28 freakin MOA off......The magpul was less than 1 MOA off.

don't know what to say. i had both items in my hand. the magpul rear sight was $55 (roughly) and the billet promag rear sight was the same or less money. and i don't drop my weapons, so i doubt the sights will be getting damaged from that activity. just saying.

these little buggers

PSA Aluminum Flip Up Sight Set - Same Plane - Sights - Upper Parts - AR-15

and they're a standard FSP so one could replace with a tritium post if desired...

as for dropping....I don't intend to, but this build is strictly a SHTF spoon for me.....I love my 94 for plinking....the stupid long sight radius with a peep sight makes it a lot of fun to shoot

here's a down picture of that lift. Its pretty thick, so I will have to make something to drive up on so I can store it under the 944. But we have some nice 2" aluminum extrusion that is flat on top that should do the trick. The cart with the pump has a quick connect hose so you can disconnect it and roll it out of the way.

Really good food, not too hot (I like really hot but it usually ends with severe heartburn) but still spicy enough that you knew you'd eaten chilli.

A few bugs in the table service (entree and mains arrived at the same time) but they'll work that out.

My entree consisted of Chiles Rellenos, a tequila shot and a bloody mary oyster shot. Sharyn had a trio of dips with tortillas (they were yummy too).

My main was a chorizo chilly dog dressed with a bean chilli and bacon (burp!). Sharyn had a pulled pork Mexican sanga - must have been good coz she didn't share

Too full for desert but there was a nice selection to choose from. I'll have to give them a go next time.
