Okay, why the thumbnail sized image? I linked to a copy ~ 800 x600.

Looks like a Matech to me, which as you can see below is the BUIS on my RRA carbine. I've never heard of it being referred to as a PADS.



I like the sight a lot.

It's an acronym, like ACOG, but I forget what it stands for

Figured it might be an acronym. There's no markings on it other than the elevation and windage marks.  However, i haven't taken it off yet to check the bottom of the base..

Ok, I think I've got the image problem figured out. Here's my RRA again, showing the deployed Matech.

Ok so,  I saw a .223/5.56x45 Ingram???  Is this round ok to be fired through a .223 chambered rifle???  I plan on getting a Vector arms V93 and it is specific to the .223.

Nope, I don't believe it is. Isn't the Ingram one of those many wildcats along the lines of the Ackley Improved variations? If I'm correct, it has a shallower shoulder fire formed in a special Ingram chamber. You can shoot standard .223's in an Ingram chamber but probably not the reverse.
