The Aim Sports MT201 AR-15 low profile rear flip-up sight is a no-frills backup iron sight built to co-witness with optics on your modern rifle. Designed specifically for AR-15 platforms, this flip-up rear sight sits low on the upper receiver so your primary scope, red dot, or magnified optic takes center stage—and when you need irons, a quick flip brings it into play. Black anodized aluminum construction keeps weight minimal and durability high, making it a practical choice for shooters building a redundant sighting system or running a traditional irons setup.
Whether you're zeroing a new build, running a two-optic carbine, or just keeping insurance iron sights on deck, a rear flip-up sight is fundamental. The Aim Sports MT201 delivers that function without the premium price tag of boutique brands, so you can allocate your budget to glass, ammunition, or other mission-critical gear.
Low-profile sights like this one have become standard on modern AR-15s because they don't interfere with rails, risers, or optic mounting. Pair it with a front flip-up, a fixed front post, or keep it as a standalone backup—the MT201 is simple, reliable, and purpose-built for the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What AR-15s does this rear sight fit?
The Aim Sports MT201 is designed for AR-15 rifles with standard upper receiver Picatinny rails. If your AR accepts mil-spec rail-mounted sights, this sight will work.
Can I use this sight with a rifle scope or red dot?
Yes. Its low-profile design is meant to stay out of the way when optics are mounted. It can serve as a backup sight or co-witness system alongside your primary optic.
Is this sight an upgrade from factory iron sights?
The Aim Sports MT201 is an aftermarket alternative that offers rail-mounting flexibility and the ability to flip down when not in use. Whether it's an upgrade depends on your rifle and intended use.
What does black anodized mean for this sight?
Black anodized aluminum means the sight is treated for corrosion and scratch resistance. It protects the metal from rust and extends durability in field conditions.
