Have to remove the optic to go to irons or are the irons just a check the box thing nowadays?

Yeah, just hit the throw levers and the optic pops off.

I think with both France, New Zealand, UK, and many others adopting AR pattern rifles, kinda settles the AR vs AK debate for me.

Wait until you realize that all the other non AK rifles are just AR18s.

The FN2000, FN SCAR, Bushy ACR, HK G36, Beretta ARX, and even a few of the odd ball Asian rifles... All remixed AR18s.

Different method of operation, different recoil system, different construction. Only thing similar is bolt face and the designation "AR".

Although I find it interesting that the AR180s legacy lives on so strong while its own career was relatively small.

The Reptilia AUS mount is a non-quick release semi-permanent mount. It requires tools to remove. Unless this is a special model made for the contract with QD levers it really does render the BUIS useless.

Reptilia Corp AUS 30mm Optic Mount 1.54" Height - Black

DetailsThe Reptilia Corp AUS 30mm Optic Mount, like the DOT mount line, can be fixed to any M1913 Picatinny rail and adjusted with a 5/32 hex or a flat head. The bolt mounts are low-pro keeping the design clean and efficient. Each mount is machined from billet 7075-T6 aluminum and Mil-Spec...

Different method of operation, different recoil system (same thing), different construction (almost same thing). Only thing similar is bolt face and the designation "AR".

The point was that a large portion of the remaining world military rifles were also vaugly related Armalite designed rifles, thus the market share is even lower.

Never said nor implied the mechanism was the same.
