HK416 Low-Profile BUIS
 
Does anyone make low profile flip-up, back-up iron sights for the HK416? The goal is to co-witness an Aimpoint style red dot with a low mount. I don't like the stock HK diopters.

The only ones I've found are made by APS "Rhino" but I think they are ugly. :p

I'm looking for something similar to the Troy Micro BUIS.

The problem in fitting aftermarket sights on to a 416bis that they are a different height then regular m4 sights. (they are lowwer) H&K offers some flip up sights but its odd because you either have to use their front flip up with the rear diopter OR a different hight front flip up with the flip up rear they offer.
Sry if thats confusing. Check HKparts.net and look at iron sight and youll see what i mean about needing to use a certian height sight with certian rear sights.

Edit. 28mm front sight for use with fixed rear sight
33mm front for use with flip up sight

You can also use troy micro sights (front and rear)
keeping in mind it may change the height of the sight picture

Yup those are the same as the troy micro sights that hk recomends for the 416, 417, mr556 and mr762. If i didnt like the hk sights so much i think id like those but the aimpoint m2 on a low mount with the diopter and fixed front sight gives a perfect cowitness like dead perfect lol.

Yes, I know the 416's have a different rail height. That's why I'm asking for low-profile sights similar to Troy Micro.

Thanks for the additional information, though I'm not interested in using the HK diopter rear sight.

Hey thanks! Those look pretty good. I'll do some measuring to see if it'll work.

I stumbled across these Troy sights just now. Just wish to share them with whoever comes across this thread. Not sure about the website but the prices seem okay.
