Midwest Industries AR-15 Combat Flip-Up Front Sight - Black

The Midwest Industries AR-15 Combat Flip-Up Front Sight is a battle-tested backup iron sight built for shooters who demand redundancy. Whether your primary optic fails, your battery dies, or you simply want a mechanical aiming point you can trust, this flip-up front sight delivers mil-spec accuracy without the bulk. Machined from a combination of high-strength steel and 6061 aluminum, it brings serious durability to your AR-15 while keeping weight minimal—the kind of no-nonsense engineering that's made Midwest Industries a go-to for working guns.

Deploy it when you need it, fold it flat when you don't. The sight meets mil-spec height requirements when flipped up and collapses to just 0.437 inches when stored, so it won't interfere with your mounted optics or get in the way of your charging handle. Dual-locking detent springs keep it secured in either position, and the 1.5 MOA per click windage adjustment gives you fine control for zeroing and holdover at distance. Installation is straightforward—a torque-clamp screw secures it to your rail with a 35 inch-pound wrench application.

Compatible with standard A2-style front sight posts and manufactured entirely in the USA, this flip-up sight is the kind of backup that serious shooters run on dedicated uppers, duty rifles, and recce builds. It's the insurance policy your AR-15 deserves.
