Griffin Armament M2 Flip-Up Sight Deployment Kit for AR-15 - Stainless Steel Matte Finish

The Griffin Armament M2 Flip-Up Sight Deployment Kit for AR-15 gives you a complete, modular backup iron sight system that actually adapts to how you shoot. Instead of buying fixed sights and hoping they work with your setup, the M2 kit ships with front and rear sight assemblies plus both vertical and 45-degree angle mounting plates—so you can configure them for 12 o'clock top-rail mounting or swap to ambidextrous 45-degree canted positions. That flexibility means these sights work for shooters across different preferences and platforms, and they're actually worth keeping in your kit instead of collecting dust.

Built from QPQ-treated 17-4 stainless steel and ordnance-grade steel, the M2 sights are engineered for durability without weight penalty—the entire system weighs just 2.5 ounces. The front sight uses an A2-pattern post that's compatible with popular aftermarket upgrades like tritium, fiber optic, and match-grade posts, so you're not locked into Griffin's choices down the road. The rear sight features a low-profile, slotted windage adjustment screw that's snag-resistant but still easy to dial in. Both flip-up assemblies use robust spring tension to ensure repeatable deployment every time, which matters when you're relying on backup sights in the field.

These are genuinely small sights—minimal footprint means they won't clutter your rail real estate or get in the way of your primary optic. They're designed to give you reliable aiming capability in conditions where your glass or electronics might fail: rain, snow, fog, or shots off-axis where you can't use your primary scope. No batteries, no glass, just proven mechanical backup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the M2 flip-up sights work with my AR-15 and other Picatinny rail guns?

Absolutely. The full deployment kit includes both the vertical baseplate and the 45-degree angled baseplate, plus all fasteners.

Are these sights durable and reliable as a backup system?

Yes. They're built from QPQ-treated 17-4 stainless steel and ordnance-grade steel for corrosion and impact resistance.
