HWZ Tactical Folding Front & Rear Set Flip Up Backup Sights BUIS Black

My rating is based on the price, which all ratings should be. I laugh at all the negative reviews. These are cheap copies of the magpul BUIS. The magpul cost over $80. Obviously these aren't as good as the magpul. They cost $8. Do people expect to pay $8 and get magpul? For $8 these are great. Super tight, a bit hard to get on. $8. Once you get them on they won't move so thats good. The windage knob was hard to turn. $8. Oiled it, works fine. These are back up sights so if you feel the need to spend $80 get magpul. If you want sights that will serve as a fail safe to your primary sights/optics & don't want to spend $80, these are fine.

Ok they aren’t magpuls but they are $80 less! A really decent cheap sight. The posts don’t wobble, springs are tight and solid and absolutely no play in the mechanical movement. Zeroing them was a breeze. Holds zero no problem. The casting of the polymer shell is not first class but they are very good sights for $11 I highly recommend.Update: now one star. Originally thought they were a great sight for the price but not now. The front sight is too short to be adequately adjusted for elevation. Made the mistake of using a zeroed red dot to install these and adjust for cowitness. My aging eyes didn’t realize the front sight post was so low that I only had rear sight and red dot aligned. After reading another reviewers comments about this I went back to the range without the red dot and sure enough the front sight is a no go!

This is a cheap pair of plasric sights.Like most things, they need modifications to work well or at all.So whats the problem? Most reviews say the issue is the sights will not stay closed. I installed these on a micro roni and gave the thing a good whack againt my leg. *pop* the rear sight said and stood up.Confirmed.A good hard look showed me the peep sight didnt allow it to close all the way. Well, let me just make a v shape in there and see if simply removing a vit of plastic fixes it.Yep. It did. Closed it and gave it another whack. It stayed closed.FixedThe other complaint in the reviews is the front sight post being short. I had a few of these posts sitting in a box so i can replace it with a better one if i need to.. first let me see if i can adjust it with a bore laser.Well. My post didnt need swapped and i was able to laser sight it in a few seconds and then adjust the windage.Bottom line: you're gonna have to fix it. Would i trust my life to these? No more than i would trust a single strip of duct tape to tow a car, so not at all. So what are they good for? I have them as a back up pair on a toy. You could us them on a plinker or a range toy maybe or if youre really broke these are better than guessing where the round might go.

is some reviews about how hard these are to install, even needing a mallet, whew! I wonder if these same folks use a mallet when installing glass optics? Simply remove the screw (bolt), slide them on the rail reinstall the screw and viola!I can't testify regarding the durability or anything else about them. I was in a hurry to see if I could even get them on my ar, and when the install was so easy I decided to write this review before heading to the range. First impression easy install, worth the $.

I bought these to replace the useless sights that came on my Crosman SBR BB rifle. Turns out they're almost as good as genuine Magpul BUIS sights. They were a tight fit on the Picatinny rail but they did go on. Some folks might need to sand them slightly. The sights lock in the down position securely and pop up easily when activated. The rear sight windage adjustment was actually easier than the Magpul's. The only negative is the crude detent for the front sight, which is just an allen set screw that must be lowered with a hex wrench before you can rotate the sight post to adjust it. However with $11 sights if that's the worst I can say about them then that says a lot. These are a fantastic upgrade to any BB or Airsoft gun, and a suitable set of sights for a .22LR or other recreational-use AR. I won't go so far as to say they're sufficient for a serious defense, competition or LE rifle but for the money you could easily do worse. Only time will tell if they hold up and don't suddenly fall apart, but so far they look to get the job done for a tiny fraction of the price of a set of real Magpuls.

Not bad for a cheap set of backup sights. Fit was good on my AR. Front sight post was very difficult to turn, but I was eventually able to spin it to the proper height with a small flat screwdriver. Once set to my proper height (dead level with the center of rear sight aperture), the tiny hex set screw will no longer lock the front sight pin into place. Rear sights were also difficult to adjust, but after a few drops of oil and working them back and forth, they now move decently. Would buy again.

Installed these on my 6.5 Grendel while I am deciding on a scope for it. Install went well and can release or snap back down with a single hand with no issues. The ones I received were checked over to make sure everything was in order, since I had seen some reviews about screws or connectors being loose, nothing was loose on the set I received. Went shooting and they sighted in fairly well out of the box with minimal adjustments needed.

Admittedly, for ten bucks I wasn't expecting much, yet was still disappointed. Surprise! They can't be mounted to a rail. The tabs on each side that are part of the button to pop the sights up interferes with the rail. Ok, out comes the Dremel with a sanding drum. Sights upside-down in the vise, I ground away the inner surfaces of the tabs until they cleared the rail on both sides. Cleaned up some casting flash too. They now fit and deploy when the button is pushed.Magpul they ain't, but if you want really, really cheap BUIS and can do some plastic carving, still avoid them. Rumage through the couch cushions for change, return bottles and cans for the deposit, whatever, but scrounge up the money for some better sights unless they're going on your eight year old's airsoft.

move on guys...this is not meant to be with your real rifles. it will fit an airsoft perfect but i am afraid your 556/762 will kill this fragile piece of crap in no time. i will trash it and see if my trash can is willing to take this piece of trash. i hope my trash can doesnt reject this.....what a waste of time and money.

Put sights on my derya semi 12g, was expecting more based on the comments but not much more. Had to bust out the dremel to make them fit and work. Haven't shot yet but seems like they should hold zero as they're not an easy adjustment. The vertical is threaded and uses a tiny allen key to lock in place and the rear seems to use a slot screwdriver as the knob doesn't move but I'll investigate more later. They did not have a magpul logo but they are clearly a magpul design.

If you're getting these instead of the Magpul ones, I'd say save your money and get the Magpul's. These are a clone (obviously) but not very good ones. Edges are sharp, and it barely fit the pic rail of my WK180C. I had to file it down and also the edges are very sharp. Had to sand them down to make them look remotely good. They're cheap and they certainly reflect it.Overall though, if you're willing to put in the time making this fit and sanding the sharp burs, then get it. If not, do yourself a favour and get other one's.

I would like to give these 4-5 stars but can't. I really like these especially for the price. They look nice and work well on my 10/22 in the Arch Angel 556 stock. That said they are definitely priced right for their quality. Bought 1 set, they arrived broken (rear sight was cracked along the mount), managed to get a refund through contacting Amazon customer service (Item wasn't eligible for refund). Ordered another set and the rear sight snapped when I slid it onto the rail. Luckily where it broke I was still able to install and "pinch" it to the top rail, though I'm not sure how well it'll hold up to use. It does seem solid but broken is broken. They spring up nicely and were fairly easy to sight in. Exactly what I was looking for just wish they were a little stronger built.I would suggest, if you try them, to file down the inside of the picatinny mount before trying to slide it on if it's at all sliding hard. They're brittle. Would probably be great on airsoft or something like that, or a range toy like my 10/22 but definitely not a real world use item.

It's no Magpul, but for the price it's pretty unbeatable. Per some of the other feedback, the rear windage adjustment knob does "freeze", but easily remedied with a flat head screwdriver. It's not so much a flaw with the mechanism - more so that there's not enough surface texture to properly grab the nob to turn it.Front sight post is solid and adjustable - but you'd do well with a proper AR sight adjustment tool to spare some flesh pains. All in all, great bang for the buck!
