AR-15 Flip-Up Front Sight: Precision When You Need It
The AR-15 is a platform renowned for its adaptability and precision, qualities that are only enhanced by the right accessories. Enter the AR-15 Flip-Up Front Sight, a back-up iron sight designed with both practicality and durability in mind. This essential accessory ensures you're always prepared, even when your primary optics may falter.
Purpose-built to be mounted on top of gas blocks featuring Picatinny rails lower than the typical AR15 receiver rail, this front sight offers seamless integration without compromising functionality. Its flip-up design allows it to fold down out of view when not needed, ensuring an unobstructed optic picture. Yet it's ready at a moment’s notice—flipping up instantly to provide reliable targeting assistance.
The A2 front sight post is fully adjustable for elevation, granting shooters precise control over their point of aim—a feature crucial for maintaining accuracy across varied distances and conditions.
Crafted from robust aluminum and steel construction, this flip-up sight balances strength with lightweight efficiency. Weighing in at just 3.4 ounces and measuring an extended length of 1.2 inches (folding down to a compact size of just over two inches), it adds minimal bulk while delivering maximum performance.
This piece exemplifies thoughtful engineering—combining simplicity with reliability—and stands as an indispensable component for any serious practitioner who values readiness alongside technological advancement on their rifle system.
