Kriss AR-15 Low Profile Flip-Up Front Sight - Steel Black

The Kriss AR-15 Low Profile Flip-Up Front Sight in steel black is a rugged, compact backup sight designed for shooters who want a dependable aiming solution that doesn't clutter your rail space. Built to the same specs as the factory sight that ships with Kriss Vector and DMK22 platforms, this folding front sight delivers genuine low-profile performance—collapsing to just 0.50" when stowed so it sits completely out of the way until you need it. Whether you're running a red dot as your primary optic or setting up a traditional iron sight line, this sight handles duty on the AR platform with the reliability you expect from Kriss engineering.

The wide elevation adjustment range is the real workhorse here. It'll dial in across a broad spectrum of height-over-bore combinations, so you're not locked into a single bullet weight or distance; swap ammunition or adjust your setup and the adjustment knob still has travel. The textured knob itself is generously sized—easy to manipulate even when you're wearing gloves or working in the field, eliminating the fidgety fine-tuning that kills your shooting rhythm.

Dimensionally, the sight strikes a balance between visibility and compactness. The 2" folded length and narrow profile at the base and body mean you retain sight picture without unnecessary bulk. The steel construction and hard black finish stand up to outdoor use and handle recoil pulse after pulse. This is a backup sight that actually stays out of your way until the moment it matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this front sight work on any AR-15?

This sight is designed for AR-15 platforms with standard Picatinny rails. It should mount on most modern AR-15 handguards and upper receivers equipped with rail sections, but always verify your rail interface before purchase if you have a non-standard setup.

How low does it fold when not in use?

When folded down, the sight collapses to just 0.50" tall, allowing it to sit completely underneath most mounted optics like red dots, magnified scopes, or LPVOs. It won't interfere with your primary sighting system.

Can I adjust this sight for different calibers?

Yes. The elevation adjustment knob has a wide range of travel designed to accommodate different height-over-bore distances, ammunition weights, and distances—so you can zero it for your specific load and distance without running out of adjustment.

Is this the same sight that comes on Kriss Vector rifles?

This front sight is built to the same specifications and geometry as the factory sight that ships with Kriss Vector and DMK22 platforms, giving you OEM-grade reliability in a standalone package.
