The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use.

FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control.

The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense.

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense.

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system.

Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control.

Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control.

Mission First's rugged polymer Flip-Up Front and Rear Sights are made for mounting on the 1913 Picatinny rail. Both front and rear sights boast a low-profile and snag-resistant design for dependable and functional use. A shroud protects both the front post blade and rear aperture from dirt and debris and from impact damage. Rail clamp nuts on both front and rear sights ensure no spin-out when over-tightened. Front and rear sights also offer a retaining pin for the cover to prevent the pin from falling out of position.

Mission First's rugged polymer Flip-Up Front and Rear Sights are made for mounting on the 1913 Picatinny rail. Both front and rear sights boast a low-profile and snag-resistant design for dependable and functional use. A shroud protects both the front post blade and rear aperture from dirt and debris and from impact damage. Rail clamp nuts on both front and rear sights ensure no spin-out when over-tightened.

Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mission First's rugged polymer Flip-Up Front and Rear Sights are made for mounting on the 1913 Picatinny rail.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down.

But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system.

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work.

But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Mission First's rugged polymer Flip-Up Front and Rear Sights are made for mounting on the 1913 Picatinny rail. Both front and rear sights boast a low-profile and snag-resistant design for dependable and functional use. A shroud protects both the front post blade and rear aperture from dirt and debris and from impact damage. Rail clamp nuts on both front and rear sights ensure no spin-out when over-tightened. Front and rear sights also offer a retaining pin for the cover to prevent the pin from falling out of position.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Mission First's rugged polymer Flip-Up Front and Rear Sights are made for mounting on the 1913 Picatinny rail.

A shroud protects both the front post blade and rear aperture from dirt and debris and from impact damage. Rail clamp nuts on both front and rear sights ensure no spin-out when over-tightened. Front and rear sights also offer a retaining pin for the cover to prevent the pin from falling out of position.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the AR-15 'Ez Sights' Thin Profile Polymer Backup Iron Sight Set from Guntec. It's made of a lightweight Zytel polymer composite that possesses steel internal construction.

It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control.

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense.

A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control.

The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system.

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hybrid design includes a solid metal alloy core with an advanced copolymer jacket that lowers excess bulk while the steel A2 front sight post assists in ensuring accurate aim. Lastly, the windage and elevation dials are toolless for user-friendly operation.

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense.

The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blackhawk Hybrid Fold Sights showcase dual apertures which swing 180 degrees with an embedded rare earth magnet to hold the sight flat to the sight tower. This design lowers the risk of snags and switches instantly for close- and mid-range targets. The hybrid design includes a solid metal alloy core with an advanced copolymer jacket that lowers excess bulk while the steel A2 front sight post assists in ensuring accurate aim. Lastly, the windage and elevation dials are toolless for user-friendly operation.

Top 3-Gun shooter and IPSC Grand Master Barry Dueck is responsible for the Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights (RTS). He built the sights for the rigor of competition or the abuse of law enforcement\/military tactical scenarios. These offset sights enhance a shooter\u2019s ability to quickly hit near and far targets. Made of 7075 aluminum alloy bar stock, these sights are durable and mount to your rifle\u2019s top rail without interfering with a mounted optic.

All an operator does is cant the rifle or carbine to quickly get on target and continue firing. The sights install on most Picatinny\/Weaver rails. Lastly, the sights are made of ultra-strong 6061-T6 billet aluminum.

Here is the AR-15 'Ez Sights' Thin Profile Polymer Backup Iron Sight Set from Guntec. It's made of a lightweight Zytel polymer composite that possesses steel internal construction. The low-profile design was made for rail height and fits any flattop receiver or Picatinny rail.

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Mission First's rugged polymer Flip-Up Front and Rear Sights are made for mounting on the 1913 Picatinny rail. Both front and rear sights boast a low-profile and snag-resistant design for dependable and functional use. A shroud protects both the front post blade and rear aperture from dirt and debris and from impact damage. Rail clamp nuts on both front and rear sights ensure no spin-out when over-tightened. Front and rear sights also offer a retaining pin for the cover to prevent the pin from falling out of position.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system.

The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This design lowers the risk of snags and switches instantly for close- and mid-range targets. The hybrid design includes a solid metal alloy core with an advanced copolymer jacket that lowers excess bulk while the steel A2 front sight post assists in ensuring accurate aim. Lastly, the windage and elevation dials are toolless for user-friendly operation.

Top 3-Gun shooter and IPSC Grand Master Barry Dueck is responsible for the Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights (RTS). He built the sights for the rigor of competition or the abuse of law enforcement\/military tactical scenarios. These offset sights enhance a shooter\u2019s ability to quickly hit near and far targets. Made of 7075 aluminum alloy bar stock, these sights are durable and mount to your rifle\u2019s top rail without interfering with a mounted optic.

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards.

The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control.

The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blackhawk Hybrid Fold Sights showcase dual apertures which swing 180 degrees with an embedded rare earth magnet to hold the sight flat to the sight tower. This design lowers the risk of snags and switches instantly for close- and mid-range targets. The hybrid design includes a solid metal alloy core with an advanced copolymer jacket that lowers excess bulk while the steel A2 front sight post assists in ensuring accurate aim. Lastly, the windage and elevation dials are toolless for user-friendly operation.

Top 3-Gun shooter and IPSC Grand Master Barry Dueck is responsible for the Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights (RTS). He built the sights for the rigor of competition or the abuse of law enforcement\/military tactical scenarios. These offset sights enhance a shooter\u2019s ability to quickly hit near and far targets. Made of 7075 aluminum alloy bar stock, these sights are durable and mount to your rifle\u2019s top rail without interfering with a mounted optic.

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements.

What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blackhawk Hybrid Fold Sights showcase dual apertures which swing 180 degrees with an embedded rare earth magnet to hold the sight flat to the sight tower. This design lowers the risk of snags and switches instantly for close- and mid-range targets. The hybrid design includes a solid metal alloy core with an advanced copolymer jacket that lowers excess bulk while the steel A2 front sight post assists in ensuring accurate aim. Lastly, the windage and elevation dials are toolless for user-friendly operation.

Top 3-Gun shooter and IPSC Grand Master Barry Dueck is responsible for the Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights (RTS).

These offset sights enhance a shooter\u2019s ability to quickly hit near and far targets. Made of 7075 aluminum alloy bar stock, these sights are durable and mount to your rifle\u2019s top rail without interfering with a mounted optic.

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system.

Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements.

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blackhawk Hybrid Fold Sights showcase dual apertures which swing 180 degrees with an embedded rare earth magnet to hold the sight flat to the sight tower. This design lowers the risk of snags and switches instantly for close- and mid-range targets. The hybrid design includes a solid metal alloy core with an advanced copolymer jacket that lowers excess bulk while the steel A2 front sight post assists in ensuring accurate aim. Lastly, the windage and elevation dials are toolless for user-friendly operation.

Top 3-Gun shooter and IPSC Grand Master Barry Dueck is responsible for the Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights (RTS). He built the sights for the rigor of competition or the abuse of law enforcement\/military tactical scenarios. These offset sights enhance a shooter\u2019s ability to quickly hit near and far targets. Made of 7075 aluminum alloy bar stock, these sights are durable and mount to your rifle\u2019s top rail without interfering with a mounted optic.

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blackhawk Hybrid Fold Sights<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n $\"back-up$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The Blackhawk Hybrid Fold Sights showcase dual apertures which swing 180 degrees with an embedded rare earth magnet to hold the sight flat to the sight tower. This design lowers the risk of snags and switches instantly for close- and mid-range targets. The hybrid design includes a solid metal alloy core with an advanced copolymer jacket that lowers excess bulk while the steel A2 front sight post assists in ensuring accurate aim. Lastly, the windage and elevation dials are toolless for user-friendly operation.

Top 3-Gun shooter and IPSC Grand Master Barry Dueck is responsible for the Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights (RTS). He built the sights for the rigor of competition or the abuse of law enforcement\/military tactical scenarios. These offset sights enhance a shooter\u2019s ability to quickly hit near and far targets. Made of 7075 aluminum alloy bar stock, these sights are durable and mount to your rifle\u2019s top rail without interfering with a mounted optic.

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blackhawk Hybrid Fold Sights showcase dual apertures which swing 180 degrees with an embedded rare earth magnet to hold the sight flat to the sight tower. This design lowers the risk of snags and switches instantly for close- and mid-range targets. The hybrid design includes a solid metal alloy core with an advanced copolymer jacket that lowers excess bulk while the steel A2 front sight post assists in ensuring accurate aim. Lastly, the windage and elevation dials are toolless for user-friendly operation.

Top 3-Gun shooter and IPSC Grand Master Barry Dueck is responsible for the Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights (RTS). He built the sights for the rigor of competition or the abuse of law enforcement\/military tactical scenarios. These offset sights enhance a shooter\u2019s ability to quickly hit near and far targets. Made of 7075 aluminum alloy bar stock, these sights are durable and mount to your rifle\u2019s top rail without interfering with a mounted optic.

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For personal defense, a civilian version of the M4 Carbine is a good choice. Uppers equipped with red-dot or reflex sights are excellent setups for home defense and training. In a pinch, plain iron sights also work just as fine. The 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington is an excellent self-defense round. And when things go bump in the night, reaching for an AR with a 16-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine can be comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Close-Quarters Battle AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For personal defense, a civilian version of the M4 Carbine is a good choice. Uppers equipped with red-dot or reflex sights are excellent setups for home defense and training. In a pinch, plain iron sights also work just as fine. The 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington is an excellent self-defense round. And when things go bump in the night, reaching for an AR with a 16-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine can be comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grip angle is important depending on your shooting position. The Ruger AR Black Grip<\/a> features a sling mount swivel that accommodates the attachment of standard push-button sling swivels. Of course, as with all your tactical equipment, try out various designs and use what feels best. Investing in a stock, grip, and trigger eases upper transitions and makes a more adaptable AR. You'll quickly learn that a variety of AR-15 upgrades are worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close-Quarters Battle AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For personal defense, a civilian version of the M4 Carbine is a good choice. Uppers equipped with red-dot or reflex sights are excellent setups for home defense and training. In a pinch, plain iron sights also work just as fine. The 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington is an excellent self-defense round. And when things go bump in the night, reaching for an AR with a 16-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine can be comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third item to address is the grip. The standard A2-style grip works well, but there are better, more comfortable options, like the BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 grip<\/a> from Bravo Company USA. This grip has a reduced angle for improved ergonomics and better trigger control. It is also wide and has an extended forward tang that closes the gap between the triggerguard and pistol grip, and the backstrap has its own high-rise beavertail. Another model, the TangoDown Flip Grip<\/a>, can be adjusted for a 24-degree rake or positioned vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The grip angle is important depending on your shooting position. The Ruger AR Black Grip<\/a> features a sling mount swivel that accommodates the attachment of standard push-button sling swivels. Of course, as with all your tactical equipment, try out various designs and use what feels best. Investing in a stock, grip, and trigger eases upper transitions and makes a more adaptable AR. You'll quickly learn that a variety of AR-15 upgrades are worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close-Quarters Battle AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For personal defense, a civilian version of the M4 Carbine is a good choice. Uppers equipped with red-dot or reflex sights are excellent setups for home defense and training. In a pinch, plain iron sights also work just as fine. The 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington is an excellent self-defense round. And when things go bump in the night, reaching for an AR with a 16-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine can be comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third item to address is the grip. The standard A2-style grip works well, but there are better, more comfortable options, like the BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 grip<\/a> from Bravo Company USA. This grip has a reduced angle for improved ergonomics and better trigger control. It is also wide and has an extended forward tang that closes the gap between the triggerguard and pistol grip, and the backstrap has its own high-rise beavertail. Another model, the TangoDown Flip Grip<\/a>, can be adjusted for a 24-degree rake or positioned vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The grip angle is important depending on your shooting position. The Ruger AR Black Grip<\/a> features a sling mount swivel that accommodates the attachment of standard push-button sling swivels. Of course, as with all your tactical equipment, try out various designs and use what feels best. Investing in a stock, grip, and trigger eases upper transitions and makes a more adaptable AR. You'll quickly learn that a variety of AR-15 upgrades are worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close-Quarters Battle AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For personal defense, a civilian version of the M4 Carbine is a good choice. Uppers equipped with red-dot or reflex sights are excellent setups for home defense and training. In a pinch, plain iron sights also work just as fine. The 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington is an excellent self-defense round. And when things go bump in the night, reaching for an AR with a 16-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine can be comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, consider the trigger. The two-stage, mil-spec triggers are fine and perform without question. A crisp trigger can instantly help make you a better shooter. The Geissele SSA-E trigger<\/a> has a reduced first-stage take-up and a crisp second-stage pull. Timney triggers are also famous for being smooth and crisp with light pull weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: 16 Optics, Triggers, Handguards & Barrels For Your Rifle<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The third item to address is the grip. The standard A2-style grip works well, but there are better, more comfortable options, like the BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 grip<\/a> from Bravo Company USA. This grip has a reduced angle for improved ergonomics and better trigger control. It is also wide and has an extended forward tang that closes the gap between the triggerguard and pistol grip, and the backstrap has its own high-rise beavertail. Another model, the TangoDown Flip Grip<\/a>, can be adjusted for a 24-degree rake or positioned vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The grip angle is important depending on your shooting position. The Ruger AR Black Grip<\/a> features a sling mount swivel that accommodates the attachment of standard push-button sling swivels. Of course, as with all your tactical equipment, try out various designs and use what feels best. Investing in a stock, grip, and trigger eases upper transitions and makes a more adaptable AR. You'll quickly learn that a variety of AR-15 upgrades are worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close-Quarters Battle AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For personal defense, a civilian version of the M4 Carbine is a good choice. Uppers equipped with red-dot or reflex sights are excellent setups for home defense and training. In a pinch, plain iron sights also work just as fine. The 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington is an excellent self-defense round. And when things go bump in the night, reaching for an AR with a 16-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine can be comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bravo Company\u2019s Gunfighter pistol grips have internal storage compartments as well as high beavertails for better ergonomics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Next, consider the trigger. The two-stage, mil-spec triggers are fine and perform without question. A crisp trigger can instantly help make you a better shooter. The Geissele SSA-E trigger<\/a> has a reduced first-stage take-up and a crisp second-stage pull. Timney triggers are also famous for being smooth and crisp with light pull weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: 16 Optics, Triggers, Handguards & Barrels For Your Rifle<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The third item to address is the grip. The standard A2-style grip works well, but there are better, more comfortable options, like the BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 grip<\/a> from Bravo Company USA. This grip has a reduced angle for improved ergonomics and better trigger control. It is also wide and has an extended forward tang that closes the gap between the triggerguard and pistol grip, and the backstrap has its own high-rise beavertail. Another model, the TangoDown Flip Grip<\/a>, can be adjusted for a 24-degree rake or positioned vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The grip angle is important depending on your shooting position. The Ruger AR Black Grip<\/a> features a sling mount swivel that accommodates the attachment of standard push-button sling swivels. Of course, as with all your tactical equipment, try out various designs and use what feels best. Investing in a stock, grip, and trigger eases upper transitions and makes a more adaptable AR. You'll quickly learn that a variety of AR-15 upgrades are worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close-Quarters Battle AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For personal defense, a civilian version of the M4 Carbine is a good choice. Uppers equipped with red-dot or reflex sights are excellent setups for home defense and training. In a pinch, plain iron sights also work just as fine. The 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington is an excellent self-defense round. And when things go bump in the night, reaching for an AR with a 16-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine can be comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This design lowers the risk of snags and switches instantly for close- and mid-range targets. The hybrid design includes a solid metal alloy core with an advanced copolymer jacket that lowers excess bulk while the steel A2 front sight post assists in ensuring accurate aim. Lastly, the windage and elevation dials are toolless for user-friendly operation.

Top 3-Gun shooter and IPSC Grand Master Barry Dueck is responsible for the Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights (RTS). He built the sights for the rigor of competition or the abuse of law enforcement\/military tactical scenarios. These offset sights enhance a shooter\u2019s ability to quickly hit near and far targets. Made of 7075 aluminum alloy bar stock, these sights are durable and mount to your rifle\u2019s top rail without interfering with a mounted optic.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quick adjustability of the stock is a great feature and benefit of the AR platform. Companies like Magpul<\/a>, Hogue<\/a>, Vltor<\/a>, FAB Defense<\/a>, and others offer stocks with multiple adjustment positions. Some, like the Magpul ACS<\/a>, also have small compartments to store optic batteries. Others have built-in magazine carriers like the GL-CORE-M M4 buttstock<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Bravo Company\u2019s Gunfighter pistol grips have internal storage compartments as well as high beavertails for better ergonomics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Next, consider the trigger. The two-stage, mil-spec triggers are fine and perform without question. A crisp trigger can instantly help make you a better shooter. The Geissele SSA-E trigger<\/a> has a reduced first-stage take-up and a crisp second-stage pull. Timney triggers are also famous for being smooth and crisp with light pull weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: 16 Optics, Triggers, Handguards & Barrels For Your Rifle<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The third item to address is the grip. The standard A2-style grip works well, but there are better, more comfortable options, like the BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 grip<\/a> from Bravo Company USA. This grip has a reduced angle for improved ergonomics and better trigger control. It is also wide and has an extended forward tang that closes the gap between the triggerguard and pistol grip, and the backstrap has its own high-rise beavertail. Another model, the TangoDown Flip Grip<\/a>, can be adjusted for a 24-degree rake or positioned vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The grip angle is important depending on your shooting position. The Ruger AR Black Grip<\/a> features a sling mount swivel that accommodates the attachment of standard push-button sling swivels. Of course, as with all your tactical equipment, try out various designs and use what feels best. Investing in a stock, grip, and trigger eases upper transitions and makes a more adaptable AR. You'll quickly learn that a variety of AR-15 upgrades are worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close-Quarters Battle AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For personal defense, a civilian version of the M4 Carbine is a good choice. Uppers equipped with red-dot or reflex sights are excellent setups for home defense and training. In a pinch, plain iron sights also work just as fine. The 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington is an excellent self-defense round. And when things go bump in the night, reaching for an AR with a 16-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine can be comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blackhawk Hybrid Fold Sights showcase dual apertures which swing 180 degrees with an embedded rare earth magnet to hold the sight flat to the sight tower. This design lowers the risk of snags and switches instantly for close- and mid-range targets. The hybrid design includes a solid metal alloy core with an advanced copolymer jacket that lowers excess bulk while the steel A2 front sight post assists in ensuring accurate aim. Lastly, the windage and elevation dials are toolless for user-friendly operation.

Top 3-Gun shooter and IPSC Grand Master Barry Dueck is responsible for the Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights (RTS). He built the sights for the rigor of competition or the abuse of law enforcement\/military tactical scenarios. These offset sights enhance a shooter\u2019s ability to quickly hit near and far targets. Made of 7075 aluminum alloy bar stock, these sights are durable and mount to your rifle\u2019s top rail without interfering with a mounted optic.

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sturdy, adjustable stock that won\u2019t snag on anything is key. The ability to adjust the stock\u2019s length of pull makes a gun \u201cuser-friendly\u201d for different-sized shooters. When your significant other pulls the AR to her shoulder, for example, you want to make sure it fits her petite size. Also, when you are training in warm weather and wearing a T-shirt, you might fully extend the stock. While hunting in cold weather, you might collapse the stock a couple of notches to accommodate a thick coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quick adjustability of the stock is a great feature and benefit of the AR platform. Companies like Magpul<\/a>, Hogue<\/a>, Vltor<\/a>, FAB Defense<\/a>, and others offer stocks with multiple adjustment positions. Some, like the Magpul ACS<\/a>, also have small compartments to store optic batteries. Others have built-in magazine carriers like the GL-CORE-M M4 buttstock<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Bravo Company\u2019s Gunfighter pistol grips have internal storage compartments as well as high beavertails for better ergonomics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Next, consider the trigger. The two-stage, mil-spec triggers are fine and perform without question. A crisp trigger can instantly help make you a better shooter. The Geissele SSA-E trigger<\/a> has a reduced first-stage take-up and a crisp second-stage pull. Timney triggers are also famous for being smooth and crisp with light pull weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: 16 Optics, Triggers, Handguards & Barrels For Your Rifle<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The third item to address is the grip. The standard A2-style grip works well, but there are better, more comfortable options, like the BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 grip<\/a> from Bravo Company USA. This grip has a reduced angle for improved ergonomics and better trigger control. It is also wide and has an extended forward tang that closes the gap between the triggerguard and pistol grip, and the backstrap has its own high-rise beavertail. Another model, the TangoDown Flip Grip<\/a>, can be adjusted for a 24-degree rake or positioned vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The grip angle is important depending on your shooting position. The Ruger AR Black Grip<\/a> features a sling mount swivel that accommodates the attachment of standard push-button sling swivels. Of course, as with all your tactical equipment, try out various designs and use what feels best. Investing in a stock, grip, and trigger eases upper transitions and makes a more adaptable AR. You'll quickly learn that a variety of AR-15 upgrades are worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close-Quarters Battle AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For personal defense, a civilian version of the M4 Carbine is a good choice. Uppers equipped with red-dot or reflex sights are excellent setups for home defense and training. In a pinch, plain iron sights also work just as fine. The 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington is an excellent self-defense round. And when things go bump in the night, reaching for an AR with a 16-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine can be comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blackhawk Hybrid Fold Sights showcase dual apertures which swing 180 degrees with an embedded rare earth magnet to hold the sight flat to the sight tower. This design lowers the risk of snags and switches instantly for close- and mid-range targets. The hybrid design includes a solid metal alloy core with an advanced copolymer jacket that lowers excess bulk while the steel A2 front sight post assists in ensuring accurate aim. Lastly, the windage and elevation dials are toolless for user-friendly operation.

Top 3-Gun shooter and IPSC Grand Master Barry Dueck is responsible for the Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights (RTS). He built the sights for the rigor of competition or the abuse of law enforcement\/military tactical scenarios. These offset sights enhance a shooter\u2019s ability to quickly hit near and far targets. Made of 7075 aluminum alloy bar stock, these sights are durable and mount to your rifle\u2019s top rail without interfering with a mounted optic.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lower receiver that is compatible with various uppers should also be as adaptable as the uppers. First, consider the stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A sturdy, adjustable stock that won\u2019t snag on anything is key. The ability to adjust the stock\u2019s length of pull makes a gun \u201cuser-friendly\u201d for different-sized shooters. When your significant other pulls the AR to her shoulder, for example, you want to make sure it fits her petite size. Also, when you are training in warm weather and wearing a T-shirt, you might fully extend the stock. While hunting in cold weather, you might collapse the stock a couple of notches to accommodate a thick coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quick adjustability of the stock is a great feature and benefit of the AR platform. Companies like Magpul<\/a>, Hogue<\/a>, Vltor<\/a>, FAB Defense<\/a>, and others offer stocks with multiple adjustment positions. Some, like the Magpul ACS<\/a>, also have small compartments to store optic batteries. Others have built-in magazine carriers like the GL-CORE-M M4 buttstock<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Bravo Company\u2019s Gunfighter pistol grips have internal storage compartments as well as high beavertails for better ergonomics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Next, consider the trigger. The two-stage, mil-spec triggers are fine and perform without question. A crisp trigger can instantly help make you a better shooter. The Geissele SSA-E trigger<\/a> has a reduced first-stage take-up and a crisp second-stage pull. Timney triggers are also famous for being smooth and crisp with light pull weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: 16 Optics, Triggers, Handguards & Barrels For Your Rifle<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The third item to address is the grip. The standard A2-style grip works well, but there are better, more comfortable options, like the BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 grip<\/a> from Bravo Company USA. This grip has a reduced angle for improved ergonomics and better trigger control. It is also wide and has an extended forward tang that closes the gap between the triggerguard and pistol grip, and the backstrap has its own high-rise beavertail. Another model, the TangoDown Flip Grip<\/a>, can be adjusted for a 24-degree rake or positioned vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The grip angle is important depending on your shooting position. The Ruger AR Black Grip<\/a> features a sling mount swivel that accommodates the attachment of standard push-button sling swivels. Of course, as with all your tactical equipment, try out various designs and use what feels best. Investing in a stock, grip, and trigger eases upper transitions and makes a more adaptable AR. You'll quickly learn that a variety of AR-15 upgrades are worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close-Quarters Battle AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For personal defense, a civilian version of the M4 Carbine is a good choice. Uppers equipped with red-dot or reflex sights are excellent setups for home defense and training. In a pinch, plain iron sights also work just as fine. The 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington is an excellent self-defense round. And when things go bump in the night, reaching for an AR with a 16-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine can be comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blackhawk Hybrid Fold Sights showcase dual apertures which swing 180 degrees with an embedded rare earth magnet to hold the sight flat to the sight tower. This design lowers the risk of snags and switches instantly for close- and mid-range targets. The hybrid design includes a solid metal alloy core with an advanced copolymer jacket that lowers excess bulk while the steel A2 front sight post assists in ensuring accurate aim. Lastly, the windage and elevation dials are toolless for user-friendly operation.

Top 3-Gun shooter and IPSC Grand Master Barry Dueck is responsible for the Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights (RTS). He built the sights for the rigor of competition or the abuse of law enforcement\/military tactical scenarios. These offset sights enhance a shooter\u2019s ability to quickly hit near and far targets. Made of 7075 aluminum alloy bar stock, these sights are durable and mount to your rifle\u2019s top rail without interfering with a mounted optic.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trick with swapping uppers on an AR is the caliber. A caliber is made to do a specific job, but sometimes it needs to perform multiple jobs. Caliber diameters may change according to the scenario. The length of the cartridge must be able to work within the dimensions of the magazine well on the AR\u2019s lower receiver. That means the overall cartridge length is 2.25 inches no matter the\u00a0bullet diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lower receiver that is compatible with various uppers should also be as adaptable as the uppers. First, consider the stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A sturdy, adjustable stock that won\u2019t snag on anything is key. The ability to adjust the stock\u2019s length of pull makes a gun \u201cuser-friendly\u201d for different-sized shooters. When your significant other pulls the AR to her shoulder, for example, you want to make sure it fits her petite size. Also, when you are training in warm weather and wearing a T-shirt, you might fully extend the stock. While hunting in cold weather, you might collapse the stock a couple of notches to accommodate a thick coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quick adjustability of the stock is a great feature and benefit of the AR platform. Companies like Magpul<\/a>, Hogue<\/a>, Vltor<\/a>, FAB Defense<\/a>, and others offer stocks with multiple adjustment positions. Some, like the Magpul ACS<\/a>, also have small compartments to store optic batteries. Others have built-in magazine carriers like the GL-CORE-M M4 buttstock<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Bravo Company\u2019s Gunfighter pistol grips have internal storage compartments as well as high beavertails for better ergonomics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Next, consider the trigger. The two-stage, mil-spec triggers are fine and perform without question. A crisp trigger can instantly help make you a better shooter. The Geissele SSA-E trigger<\/a> has a reduced first-stage take-up and a crisp second-stage pull. Timney triggers are also famous for being smooth and crisp with light pull weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: 16 Optics, Triggers, Handguards & Barrels For Your Rifle<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The third item to address is the grip. The standard A2-style grip works well, but there are better, more comfortable options, like the BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 grip<\/a> from Bravo Company USA. This grip has a reduced angle for improved ergonomics and better trigger control. It is also wide and has an extended forward tang that closes the gap between the triggerguard and pistol grip, and the backstrap has its own high-rise beavertail. Another model, the TangoDown Flip Grip<\/a>, can be adjusted for a 24-degree rake or positioned vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The grip angle is important depending on your shooting position. The Ruger AR Black Grip<\/a> features a sling mount swivel that accommodates the attachment of standard push-button sling swivels. Of course, as with all your tactical equipment, try out various designs and use what feels best. Investing in a stock, grip, and trigger eases upper transitions and makes a more adaptable AR. You'll quickly learn that a variety of AR-15 upgrades are worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close-Quarters Battle AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For personal defense, a civilian version of the M4 Carbine is a good choice. Uppers equipped with red-dot or reflex sights are excellent setups for home defense and training. In a pinch, plain iron sights also work just as fine. The 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington is an excellent self-defense round. And when things go bump in the night, reaching for an AR with a 16-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine can be comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An innovative add-on, the adjustable GL-CORE-M M4 buttstock from FAB Defense is designed to hold a spare AR magazine. It is compatible with standard 5.56x45 (.223 Rem) AR15\/M16\/M4 and FAB Defense Ultimag Magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The trick with swapping uppers on an AR is the caliber. A caliber is made to do a specific job, but sometimes it needs to perform multiple jobs. Caliber diameters may change according to the scenario. The length of the cartridge must be able to work within the dimensions of the magazine well on the AR\u2019s lower receiver. That means the overall cartridge length is 2.25 inches no matter the\u00a0bullet diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lower receiver that is compatible with various uppers should also be as adaptable as the uppers. First, consider the stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A sturdy, adjustable stock that won\u2019t snag on anything is key. The ability to adjust the stock\u2019s length of pull makes a gun \u201cuser-friendly\u201d for different-sized shooters. When your significant other pulls the AR to her shoulder, for example, you want to make sure it fits her petite size. Also, when you are training in warm weather and wearing a T-shirt, you might fully extend the stock. While hunting in cold weather, you might collapse the stock a couple of notches to accommodate a thick coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quick adjustability of the stock is a great feature and benefit of the AR platform. Companies like Magpul<\/a>, Hogue<\/a>, Vltor<\/a>, FAB Defense<\/a>, and others offer stocks with multiple adjustment positions. Some, like the Magpul ACS<\/a>, also have small compartments to store optic batteries. Others have built-in magazine carriers like the GL-CORE-M M4 buttstock<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Bravo Company\u2019s Gunfighter pistol grips have internal storage compartments as well as high beavertails for better ergonomics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Next, consider the trigger. The two-stage, mil-spec triggers are fine and perform without question. A crisp trigger can instantly help make you a better shooter. The Geissele SSA-E trigger<\/a> has a reduced first-stage take-up and a crisp second-stage pull. Timney triggers are also famous for being smooth and crisp with light pull weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: 16 Optics, Triggers, Handguards & Barrels For Your Rifle<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The third item to address is the grip. The standard A2-style grip works well, but there are better, more comfortable options, like the BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 grip<\/a> from Bravo Company USA. This grip has a reduced angle for improved ergonomics and better trigger control. It is also wide and has an extended forward tang that closes the gap between the triggerguard and pistol grip, and the backstrap has its own high-rise beavertail. Another model, the TangoDown Flip Grip<\/a>, can be adjusted for a 24-degree rake or positioned vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The grip angle is important depending on your shooting position. The Ruger AR Black Grip<\/a> features a sling mount swivel that accommodates the attachment of standard push-button sling swivels. Of course, as with all your tactical equipment, try out various designs and use what feels best. Investing in a stock, grip, and trigger eases upper transitions and makes a more adaptable AR. You'll quickly learn that a variety of AR-15 upgrades are worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close-Quarters Battle AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For personal defense, a civilian version of the M4 Carbine is a good choice. Uppers equipped with red-dot or reflex sights are excellent setups for home defense and training. In a pinch, plain iron sights also work just as fine. The 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington is an excellent self-defense round. And when things go bump in the night, reaching for an AR with a 16-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine can be comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top 3-Gun shooter and IPSC Grand Master Barry Dueck is responsible for the Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights (RTS).

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tactical AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
An innovative add-on, the adjustable GL-CORE-M M4 buttstock from FAB Defense is designed to hold a spare AR magazine. It is compatible with standard 5.56x45 (.223 Rem) AR15\/M16\/M4 and FAB Defense Ultimag Magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The trick with swapping uppers on an AR is the caliber. A caliber is made to do a specific job, but sometimes it needs to perform multiple jobs. Caliber diameters may change according to the scenario. The length of the cartridge must be able to work within the dimensions of the magazine well on the AR\u2019s lower receiver. That means the overall cartridge length is 2.25 inches no matter the\u00a0bullet diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lower receiver that is compatible with various uppers should also be as adaptable as the uppers. First, consider the stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A sturdy, adjustable stock that won\u2019t snag on anything is key. The ability to adjust the stock\u2019s length of pull makes a gun \u201cuser-friendly\u201d for different-sized shooters. When your significant other pulls the AR to her shoulder, for example, you want to make sure it fits her petite size. Also, when you are training in warm weather and wearing a T-shirt, you might fully extend the stock. While hunting in cold weather, you might collapse the stock a couple of notches to accommodate a thick coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quick adjustability of the stock is a great feature and benefit of the AR platform. Companies like Magpul<\/a>, Hogue<\/a>, Vltor<\/a>, FAB Defense<\/a>, and others offer stocks with multiple adjustment positions. Some, like the Magpul ACS<\/a>, also have small compartments to store optic batteries. Others have built-in magazine carriers like the GL-CORE-M M4 buttstock<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Bravo Company\u2019s Gunfighter pistol grips have internal storage compartments as well as high beavertails for better ergonomics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Next, consider the trigger. The two-stage, mil-spec triggers are fine and perform without question. A crisp trigger can instantly help make you a better shooter. The Geissele SSA-E trigger<\/a> has a reduced first-stage take-up and a crisp second-stage pull. Timney triggers are also famous for being smooth and crisp with light pull weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: 16 Optics, Triggers, Handguards & Barrels For Your Rifle<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The third item to address is the grip. The standard A2-style grip works well, but there are better, more comfortable options, like the BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 grip<\/a> from Bravo Company USA. This grip has a reduced angle for improved ergonomics and better trigger control. It is also wide and has an extended forward tang that closes the gap between the triggerguard and pistol grip, and the backstrap has its own high-rise beavertail. Another model, the TangoDown Flip Grip<\/a>, can be adjusted for a 24-degree rake or positioned vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The grip angle is important depending on your shooting position. The Ruger AR Black Grip<\/a> features a sling mount swivel that accommodates the attachment of standard push-button sling swivels. Of course, as with all your tactical equipment, try out various designs and use what feels best. Investing in a stock, grip, and trigger eases upper transitions and makes a more adaptable AR. You'll quickly learn that a variety of AR-15 upgrades are worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close-Quarters Battle AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For personal defense, a civilian version of the M4 Carbine is a good choice. Uppers equipped with red-dot or reflex sights are excellent setups for home defense and training. In a pinch, plain iron sights also work just as fine. The 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington is an excellent self-defense round. And when things go bump in the night, reaching for an AR with a 16-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine can be comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blackhawk Hybrid Fold Sights showcase dual apertures which swing 180 degrees with an embedded rare earth magnet to hold the sight flat to the sight tower. This design lowers the risk of snags and switches instantly for close- and mid-range targets. The hybrid design includes a solid metal alloy core with an advanced copolymer jacket that lowers excess bulk while the steel A2 front sight post assists in ensuring accurate aim. Lastly, the windage and elevation dials are toolless for user-friendly operation.

Top 3-Gun shooter and IPSC Grand Master Barry Dueck is responsible for the Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights (RTS). He built the sights for the rigor of competition or the abuse of law enforcement\/military tactical scenarios. These offset sights enhance a shooter\u2019s ability to quickly hit near and far targets. Made of 7075 aluminum alloy bar stock, these sights are durable and mount to your rifle\u2019s top rail without interfering with a mounted optic.

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is an affordable, color-injection molded, folding back-up sight system that fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards. It's specifically designed for the AR-15\/M16 platform. The MBUS's detent and spring pressure design keeps the sight picture straight-on but allows for easy folding under pressure. The rugged, lightweight polymer construction withstands years of use and abuse. Both front and rear sights provide the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. The front sight activates from either side or by pressing the top. Meanwhile, the spring-locking A2 front sight post is protected by a wings shield. Lastly, the spring-loaded flip-up rear sight <\/span>is also easily activated from either side or by pressing the top section. Its protective wings protect the dual, same-plane flip apertures.

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The M16 entered service with the United States military in 1962. It has since become one of our country\u2019s longest-serving battle rifles. Over the decades, the AR platform has evolved with each successive model number, with each offering improvements over the previous model. Today, civilian variants of the M16 rifle and M4 Carbine can be found in deer camps, in homes for personal defense, and on rifle ranges competing in various matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tactical AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
An innovative add-on, the adjustable GL-CORE-M M4 buttstock from FAB Defense is designed to hold a spare AR magazine. It is compatible with standard 5.56x45 (.223 Rem) AR15\/M16\/M4 and FAB Defense Ultimag Magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The trick with swapping uppers on an AR is the caliber. A caliber is made to do a specific job, but sometimes it needs to perform multiple jobs. Caliber diameters may change according to the scenario. The length of the cartridge must be able to work within the dimensions of the magazine well on the AR\u2019s lower receiver. That means the overall cartridge length is 2.25 inches no matter the\u00a0bullet diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lower receiver that is compatible with various uppers should also be as adaptable as the uppers. First, consider the stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A sturdy, adjustable stock that won\u2019t snag on anything is key. The ability to adjust the stock\u2019s length of pull makes a gun \u201cuser-friendly\u201d for different-sized shooters. When your significant other pulls the AR to her shoulder, for example, you want to make sure it fits her petite size. Also, when you are training in warm weather and wearing a T-shirt, you might fully extend the stock. While hunting in cold weather, you might collapse the stock a couple of notches to accommodate a thick coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quick adjustability of the stock is a great feature and benefit of the AR platform. Companies like Magpul<\/a>, Hogue<\/a>, Vltor<\/a>, FAB Defense<\/a>, and others offer stocks with multiple adjustment positions. Some, like the Magpul ACS<\/a>, also have small compartments to store optic batteries. Others have built-in magazine carriers like the GL-CORE-M M4 buttstock<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Bravo Company\u2019s Gunfighter pistol grips have internal storage compartments as well as high beavertails for better ergonomics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Next, consider the trigger. The two-stage, mil-spec triggers are fine and perform without question. A crisp trigger can instantly help make you a better shooter. The Geissele SSA-E trigger<\/a> has a reduced first-stage take-up and a crisp second-stage pull. Timney triggers are also famous for being smooth and crisp with light pull weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: 16 Optics, Triggers, Handguards & Barrels For Your Rifle<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The third item to address is the grip. The standard A2-style grip works well, but there are better, more comfortable options, like the BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 grip<\/a> from Bravo Company USA. This grip has a reduced angle for improved ergonomics and better trigger control. It is also wide and has an extended forward tang that closes the gap between the triggerguard and pistol grip, and the backstrap has its own high-rise beavertail. Another model, the TangoDown Flip Grip<\/a>, can be adjusted for a 24-degree rake or positioned vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The grip angle is important depending on your shooting position. The Ruger AR Black Grip<\/a> features a sling mount swivel that accommodates the attachment of standard push-button sling swivels. Of course, as with all your tactical equipment, try out various designs and use what feels best. Investing in a stock, grip, and trigger eases upper transitions and makes a more adaptable AR. You'll quickly learn that a variety of AR-15 upgrades are worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close-Quarters Battle AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For personal defense, a civilian version of the M4 Carbine is a good choice. Uppers equipped with red-dot or reflex sights are excellent setups for home defense and training. In a pinch, plain iron sights also work just as fine. The 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington is an excellent self-defense round. And when things go bump in the night, reaching for an AR with a 16-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine can be comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for competition, duty or defense, optical system rule the day in terms of shooter preference. But optics do fail. To keep your carbine<\/a> in the fight, the FAB Defense FRBS Offset kit provides an affordable backup sighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense FRBS Offset Sights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Front\/Rear Backup Sight (FRBS) kit offers insurance for when an optic goes down. Mounted at a 45-degree, the system engages target for fast CQB work with a primary optic serving longer-range work. Many competitors and operators alike employ irons mounted on a 45, providing both options and security. The FAB models feature a snag-free, low-profile design while not in use. But for rapid deployment, they remain at the ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS Offset Kit utilizes hard polymer construction. It proves cost effective, lightweight, and durable, according to FAB Defense. The kit takes up a single slot on a 1913 Picatinny rail system. It clamps securely into place with an Allen head screw. Options include right- or left-eye dominance. The sights also come in Black, OD Green, and FDE colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FRBS retails for $94.99. For even more info, please visit fab-defenseus.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to get full use of an AR-style rifle<\/a>, engaging it with different uppers is so natural. While you could buy a dedicated rifle and use it for one special purpose, AR users can swap out a tactical carbine upper with a big-bore-caliber upper suitable for hog hunting. Think about it. By removing just two parts\u2014the takedown pin and the pivot pin\u2014you can completely transform an AR into another rifle. It was built to be modular and adaptable. Without a doubt, there is no shortage of AR-15 upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The M16 entered service with the United States military in 1962. It has since become one of our country\u2019s longest-serving battle rifles. Over the decades, the AR platform has evolved with each successive model number, with each offering improvements over the previous model. Today, civilian variants of the M16 rifle and M4 Carbine can be found in deer camps, in homes for personal defense, and on rifle ranges competing in various matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tactical AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
An innovative add-on, the adjustable GL-CORE-M M4 buttstock from FAB Defense is designed to hold a spare AR magazine. It is compatible with standard 5.56x45 (.223 Rem) AR15\/M16\/M4 and FAB Defense Ultimag Magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The trick with swapping uppers on an AR is the caliber. A caliber is made to do a specific job, but sometimes it needs to perform multiple jobs. Caliber diameters may change according to the scenario. The length of the cartridge must be able to work within the dimensions of the magazine well on the AR\u2019s lower receiver. That means the overall cartridge length is 2.25 inches no matter the\u00a0bullet diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lower receiver that is compatible with various uppers should also be as adaptable as the uppers. First, consider the stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A sturdy, adjustable stock that won\u2019t snag on anything is key. The ability to adjust the stock\u2019s length of pull makes a gun \u201cuser-friendly\u201d for different-sized shooters. When your significant other pulls the AR to her shoulder, for example, you want to make sure it fits her petite size. Also, when you are training in warm weather and wearing a T-shirt, you might fully extend the stock. While hunting in cold weather, you might collapse the stock a couple of notches to accommodate a thick coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quick adjustability of the stock is a great feature and benefit of the AR platform. Companies like Magpul<\/a>, Hogue<\/a>, Vltor<\/a>, FAB Defense<\/a>, and others offer stocks with multiple adjustment positions. Some, like the Magpul ACS<\/a>, also have small compartments to store optic batteries. Others have built-in magazine carriers like the GL-CORE-M M4 buttstock<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Bravo Company\u2019s Gunfighter pistol grips have internal storage compartments as well as high beavertails for better ergonomics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Next, consider the trigger. The two-stage, mil-spec triggers are fine and perform without question. A crisp trigger can instantly help make you a better shooter. The Geissele SSA-E trigger<\/a> has a reduced first-stage take-up and a crisp second-stage pull. Timney triggers are also famous for being smooth and crisp with light pull weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: 16 Optics, Triggers, Handguards & Barrels For Your Rifle<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The third item to address is the grip. The standard A2-style grip works well, but there are better, more comfortable options, like the BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 grip<\/a> from Bravo Company USA. This grip has a reduced angle for improved ergonomics and better trigger control. It is also wide and has an extended forward tang that closes the gap between the triggerguard and pistol grip, and the backstrap has its own high-rise beavertail. Another model, the TangoDown Flip Grip<\/a>, can be adjusted for a 24-degree rake or positioned vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The grip angle is important depending on your shooting position. The Ruger AR Black Grip<\/a> features a sling mount swivel that accommodates the attachment of standard push-button sling swivels. Of course, as with all your tactical equipment, try out various designs and use what feels best. Investing in a stock, grip, and trigger eases upper transitions and makes a more adaptable AR. You'll quickly learn that a variety of AR-15 upgrades are worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close-Quarters Battle AR-15 Upgrades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For personal defense, a civilian version of the M4 Carbine is a good choice. Uppers equipped with red-dot or reflex sights are excellent setups for home defense and training. In a pinch, plain iron sights also work just as fine. The 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington is an excellent self-defense round. And when things go bump in the night, reaching for an AR with a 16-inch barrel and a 30-round magazine can be comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fine example of a defensive AR carbine is Wilson Combat\u2019s Recon Tactical<\/a>. Wilson Combat goes to great lengths to ensure its rifles perform every time, no matter what the conditions are. In fact, Wilson Combat manufactures uppers in a variety of calibers to meet every operator\u2019s needs. The Recon Tactical lower is an excellent foundation for an AR. It starts with a Bravo Company pistol grip, a Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc, and Wilson Combat\u2019s own Tactical Trigger Unit, which is a single-stage trigger with a 4-pound pull\u2014a weight that works well with or without gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELATED STORY: Here\u2019s Why You Need a Home Defense Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The Recon Tactical also has a 16-inch, match-grade barrel. The muzzle is threaded and comes equipped with a proprietary hybrid Q Comp brake\/compensator suppressor. In this defense\/training mode, the carbine is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On The Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ar$
Consider getting a 6.8 SPC upper, as this chambering is more powerful than the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington, yet it\u2019ll still work with a 5.56mm-sized lower receiver and magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A second dedicated upper transforms the AR from a home-defense weapon to a deer rifle. In the same way that military rifles of the past, like the Springfield Trapdoor from the late 1880s and the bolt-action Springfield M1903 from the early 20th century, were used by civilians for hunting, so too is the AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An upper chambered for the 6.8 SPC is a good choice for deer. The round was developed to improve the lack of knockdown power experienced with the 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington. It fits within the envelope of the typical AR lower and kills deer. Wilson Combat offers a complete upper assembly in 6.8 SPC with a 16-inch, fluted barrel that has a 1-in-11-inch twist rate. This twist rate works well with bullet weights in the 110-grain range. A 6.8 SPC cartridge with a 110-grain bullet has a speed of about 2,500 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1,525 foot-pounds. Mount a scope and your second upper is ready for deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hogs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Load a third upper for bears or pigs\u2014big, wild pigs. The Wilson Combat complete upper in .458 SOCOM is a thumper, pushing a 250-grain bullet at about 2,150 fps with muzzle energy of 3,478 foot-pounds. That\u2019s plenty of power to drop a pig like a sack of grain. The .458 SOCOM cartridge will work in a 5.56mm NATO\/.223 Remington magazine, too, though the total capacity will be less since the .458 SOCOM cartridges are fat compared to the slender 5.56mm\/.223 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With these AR-15 upgrades in mind, it\u2019s clear that swapping out uppers means you can dedicate an upper for a specific role and use your AR for three kinds of engagements. It\u2019s just a matter of planning and finding the right gear.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AR-15 Upgrades for CQB, Hunting & Training","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ar-cqb-hunting-training","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:43:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:43:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2017\/09\/19\/ar-cqb-hunting-training\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":122330,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2022-10-26 09:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-26 13:00:00","post_content":"\n
What\u2019s your backup plan? Backup iron sights (BUIS) allow you to stay in the fight should your primary optic fail. Most backup iron sights<\/a> today deploy instantly via the press of a button, locking into position. Along with being a redundant sighting system in the event your glass fails, backup sights are also ideal for close-range engagements where a high-magnification optic might be a liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start By Admitting You Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The art of aiming a rifle solely by aligning the front post with the rear aperture of its iron sights is going the way of the dinosaurs. Almost every rifle is equipped with some sort of enhanced optic system. While it's not a bad thing to be able to get quick, accurate shots through an optic, one should be prepared in case that optic ever fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip-up backup iron sights are usually folded in their down position to be stowed away until needed. There they stay out of view of optics, are less prone to snagging on other gear or clothing, and are more protected from damage. Many manufacturers offer their own versions of flip-up BUIS, giving us consumers an all-you-can-eat buffet of options. The front sight on all BUIS systems adjusts the elevation of your shot, while most rear BUIS adjust the windage. To go above and beyond, some rear sights can also be quickly adjusted for elevation, allowing more accuracy when shooting at different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, without further ado, here are a few failsafe backup iron sights for AR shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Shooters Need BUIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Backup iron sights (BUIS) play a crucial role in the effectiveness and versatility of AR-15 rifles<\/a>. While optics have become increasingly popular and offer significant advantages, they can sometimes fail or become compromised in certain conditions. This is where BUIS come into play. By having backup iron sights installed on an AR-15, shooters have a reliable secondary aiming system that ensures they can still engage targets accurately even if their primary optic malfunctions. BUIS provide a quick and intuitive way to acquire targets, especially in close-quarters situations where speed is essential. Additionally, BUIS offer shooters the flexibility to adapt to different shooting scenarios and environments, making them a valuable addition to any AR-15 rifle setup.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Top 6 Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) for AR-15s [2023]","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"backup-iron-sights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:56:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:56:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2022\/10\/26\/backup-iron-sights\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":123926,"post_author":"927","post_date":"2021-09-22 12:04:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-09-22 16:04:47","post_content":"\n

Not all shooters are alike, nor are they built the same. This is the thinking behind adjustable stocks<\/a>, like the RAPS (Rapid Adjustment Precision Stock) from companies like FAB Defens<\/a>e<\/a>. Building on the popularity of their RAPS stock, FAB Defense has added a carbine version, with the RAPS-C, collapsible stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The RAPS-C is the answer to customer feedback, providing enhanced control for the precision minded shooter. Using the original RAPS as a base, the RAPS-C offers additional features to expand the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of an extremely durable polymer composite, the RAPS-C can withstand years of hard use in adverse conditions. With a length of 203 mm, the RAPS-C is 74 mm shorter than the original, allowing for full collapsibility. The retention bolt adjusts the RAPS-C for optimal fit on both MIL-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine<\/a> buffer tubes. Additionally, the stock is easily installed, without the need for a gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the original RAPS, the RAPS-C features adjustable cheek rest and LOP (Length of Pull), via a single lever. The lever can be configured for both right- and left-hand shooters and is easy to operate with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once engaged, the lever releases the spring loaded, adjustable butt-pad (with height adjustment) to the shooters preset length. Furthermore, the unique memory feature requires no need for further adjustment of the LOP once set. However, unlike the butt-pad, the cheek rest needs to be set each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On either side of the RAPS-C are two QD mount locations for multiple strap placement options. In addition, the bottom of the stock features a picatinny rail, concealed by a removable cover. The picatinny rail is designed for use with a monopod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAB Defense RAPS-C stock is available now with an MSRP of $185.00. For more info, please visit FAB-Defense.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAB Defense recently announced the release of the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The FAB Defense Gradus-M comprises a \"stubby\" foregrip, attaching by the popular M-LOK system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
FAB Defense Gradus-M Foregrip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M includes several features to make it well-suited to perform a wide range of applications, according to FAB Defense. A multi-textured, rubberized finish helps maintain a reliable, comfortable grip in any weather condition. A slight reduced angle provides comfort and helps prevent wrist and arm fatigue during hard use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether for duty or home defense, a foregrip provides tremendous utility. On a cut down AR pistol, a foregrip serves as a hand stop, ensuring the off-hand stays behind the muzzle. On a carbine or rifle<\/a>, it can provide better support or even engage barricades and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fab Defense's Gradus line of grips and accessories bring rubberized parts into play. The system offers a comfortable, durable option for better handling and control. The company makes Gradus accessories for AR-10, AR-15 and AK47 rifle, carbine and pistol platforms. The Gradus-M also comes as a combo with the VTS-M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gradus-M retails for $35. For even more info, please visit fab-defense.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
