Dd Rail Mounted Fixed Front Sight - Tactical Precision Iron Sight for AR-15 Rifles

The Daniel Defense rail-mounted fixed front sight is a no-frills backup iron sight built for AR-15 rifles that demand reliability when your primary optic goes down. This one-piece design slides onto any MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail and locks in place with a single machine screw, giving you a sighting solution that's always ready without batteries, electronics, or complicated deployment mechanisms. It's the kind of setup that separates prepared shooters from wishful thinkers.

Built around simplicity, the sight features rounded edges and recessed attachment screws that won't catch on body armor, gear, or the inside of a pack. The streamlined profile keeps your rifle clean and uncluttered while you're running optics up top. Whether you're setting up a precision rifle, a tactical carbine, or a duty gun, this front sight is there when you need it—no adjustments, no surprises.

A critical detail: this sight is not gas block height. If you're mounting it to a railed gas block, that gas block must sit in the same plane as your rail system, or your front and rear sight won't regulate together. Check your setup before mounting to avoid a mismatch that'll throw off your zero.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this sight work with my AR-15 gas block?

Only if your railed gas block sits in the same plane as your upper receiver's Picatinny rail. If your gas block is offset or at a different height, this sight won't regulate properly with a standard rear sight. Check compatibility before purchasing.

What rail systems is this compatible with?

This sight mounts to any MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail, which is the standard on most AR-15 upper receivers and tactical handguards.

Is this a permanent or removable sight?

It's removable. The single machine screw allows you to slide the sight off the rail whenever needed, making it easy to swap or remove when you want to run a different setup.
