Flip-Up Battle Sights For 5.56Mm & 7.62Mm Black
LMT Defense flip-up battle sights are purpose-built backup iron sights for 5.56 and 7.62 rifles running optics as the primary system. When your red dot fails, your variable power scope gets damaged, or you need to fight without electronics, these sights are your insurance policy. LMT's low-profile design keeps them out of the way until you need them, and their steel construction handles real use without hesitation.
The rear sight features windage-only adjustments and flip apertures—no fiddle, no guess work. That simplicity matters when you're actually relying on the sights, not theorizing about them at the bench. The combination of durability and dependable operation is why these sights show up on serious rifles across law enforcement, mil-spec builds, and hard-use civilian platforms.
Whether you're running a carbine, rifle, or precision AR in either caliber, LMT's flip-ups give you a real backup plan that doesn't require zeroing a secondary system or memorizing holdovers. Steel construction means they'll outlast trends and handle whatever you ask of them.
