Looking for Flip Up BUIS... was created by 1MOA

Hi everyone!
Im in the market for some back up iron sights for my AR10T carbine, i have been looking at the Midwest Industries Front and rear Flip Ups and the GG&G Flip ups but cannot decide which to get.
The MI are obviously cheeper AND i like the way they look BUT if the GG&G perform better that would be my choice.
Anyone that has knowledge or opinion on the subject please feel free to chime in! Thanks!

I use a gas block mounted GG&G front flip up BUIS on my AR 10 / Rem R25. The GG&G is nice kit, better than my previous YHM front BUIS.
I have been thinking about swapping the two component gas block/ GG&G front BUIS for a unit that combines both.

When I want to take off the scope, I use Leupold Quick Release Weaver rings for almost instant scope removal/ replacement. Since I mount the BIG scope too low for any flip up rear BUIS, at the backI use a LaRue NON folding quick release/quick mount BUIS.

Hey thanks for the responce!
Yeah i am def looking for flip down style, gas block mounted on the front and a behind
or under the scope deal for the rear. that larue mount sounds good ill have to look into
that.
I think im leaning tword the GG&G they look lower and the rear sight folds back not forwards
i think that would help out alot how my scope is mounted

If you check my article out (in the article section) you will see the set up I have on my A4C...I went with MI...and have no regrets, I even went with the SPLP on my M-15...both my AR-10 and M-15 have the MI drop in railed hand guards and sling adapters...MI is quality equipment and they will back them up for life.
So don't rule them out....check my youtube channel...I did several videos on their equipment....

are these sights all pretty much plug and play or do they need to be sighted in?

Well my friend....as with all sighting equipment...they need to be adjusted to distance...I have both of mine sighted in at 50 yards.
If you use a laser or a red dot you can get them close to start...
If you need some help...let me know.
