The Midwest Industries Combat Flip-Up Rear Sight for AR-15 is a backup iron sight (BUIS) built to co-witness with standard A2 front-sight gas blocks and work alongside modern optics like red-dot systems. Whether you're running a rifle with just irons or layering in redundancy behind a primary optic, this flip-up rear sight gives you a reliable secondary aiming solution that stows out of the way when you don't need it.
Midwest Industries engineered this sight from ordnance-grade steel and 6061 aluminum to balance durability with weight savings—important when every ounce matters on a duty or hunting rifle. When deployed, the aperture is height-matched to military specifications for seamless co-witnessing with A2 front sights. Collapsed, the sight sits just .388 inches above the receiver, minimizing snag points and clearing your sight picture. Dual-locking detent springs keep the sight firmly in position, whether up or down, and the windage and elevation adjustments offer 0.5 MOA click increments for fine-tuning your zero. Installation is straightforward: the torque-clamp mounting system secures to your rifle with a single screw at 35 inch-pounds. Made in the USA, this is the kind of purpose-built component serious shooters trust when backup sights matter.
If you're building a rifle that needs dependable iron-sight backup—whether for 3-gun, tactical carbine courses, or just covering your bases—this flip-up rear sight is a proven choice that won't let you down.
