The CNC machining actually looks cleaner than the forged carry handle/sight. So this new UTG Sight should fall in the middle as far as durability goes (Forged>Billet>Cast) The old ones were pretty much bomb proof.
Also the bodies of newer LMT rear sights are cast. As for "chopped" carry handles from the factory, new LMT rear BUIS have alluminum wings. In Comparison: Old school forged carry handles are also steel. It appears that the sight assembly/wings are made out of steel and phosphated while the body is CNC 6061-T1 Aluminum. Cheaper sights often have burrs or improperly drilled holes. No issues with the Aperture, the peep holes are machined properly. Seems even better than my cardinal forge. Windage and Elevation: Windage and elevation is tactile and positive. But to be fair cardinal forge sights/carry handles have always had the worst finish/anodizing out of the carry handles out there.
In my opinion the finish on the UTG seems like it would of held up alot better than the Cardinal Forge sight. (Think New Frontier Armory/Joebob's Spartan Lowers), or the finish that Strike Industries uses for their aluminum products. The finish is very similar to what is used on billet lowers, that kind of sleek, smooth, black anodizing. This rear sight is made in Taiwan (Same with Strike Industries as well). I'm very impressed with this, their non USA products have come a long way. Machining and Finish: Finish and machining is on par with Strike Industries products. I'm going to compare this product with a forged Cardinal Forge, Cut Down Carry Handle. Those BUIS are now being OEMed by other companies, including Springfield Armory. I was impressed with their folding BUIS for the money. Most are cast and made out of pot metal, painted instead anodized, and have terrible tolerances/machining. We all know how crappy offbrand/cheap carry handles/sights are. > Utilizes a Single Locking Torx Screw and Square-shaped Integral Recoil Stop for a Secure Zero Hold and Return to Zero on MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny Railsįirst of all I was skeptical buying this. > Tool-free Windage and Elevation Adjustment with Dual Apertures Ideal for a Variety of Different Scencarios > Slim and Lightweight Profile with a Durable Wear Resistant Matte Black Finish > Precision CNC Machined 6061-T6 Aircraft Aluminum Base with Steel A2 Sight Assembly I have used several of these rear sights on builds but haven't actually shot one: I have 2 of those ,and they just seem more sturdy.The below review is from TOS, same title as above. It's ok it's a 20$ sight is it better than the 16$ sight idk probably not it will get you until you can afford a quality sight. I can definitively say that, no, it's not metal, but it's just as strong if not stronger. This thing is so solid that I thought it might actually be metal until I took a file to clean up a mold line on the underside. Posted by This thing is solid! on 13th Jan 2020 The Micro Aimpoint adapter fits snugly into the top with no play it's actually more secure than with a metal handle. And I mounted a Sig Romeo 5 on top of it with a KZ Carry Handle Mount. I reviewed this before, but now I have some actual trigger time behind it.
