The Midwest Industries low-profile rear flip-up sight is a reliable backup optic for AR-platform rifles and carbines. This is the low-profile variant (MCTAR-SPLP), engineered for shooters who want a dependable iron sight ready to deploy instantly if a primary optic fails, but without the extra height of a standard rear flip-up sight. When folded, it sits less than half an inch above your receiver, staying clear of your sight picture and optics rail. Flip it up with a thumb or finger, and a smooth pivot mechanism with a ball-bearing detent locks it firmly in place until you press the release button—no fumbling, no doubt.
Built from 6061 T6 aluminum and hardcoat anodized, this sight is made to handle the wear and vibration of serious use. The flip-style A2 aperture includes two peephole diameters: a .070-inch opening for precision shooting at distance and a .200-inch opening for close-range or low-light situations. Both apertures are on the same reference plane, so your point of impact stays consistent when you switch between them. Windage is adjustable in .65 MOA increments on 16-inch barrels and .49 MOA on 20-inch rifles, dialed in with a deeply grooved knob that clicks positively. Installation is straightforward—the sight clamps securely to any flattop receiver, and a hex wrench is included in the box.
If you're running an optic-ready AR and want a lightweight, no-excuses backup iron sight that doesn't add bulk, the MCTAR-SPLP delivers simplicity and dependability in a low-profile package.

Frequently Asked Questions
What AR rifles is this rear sight compatible with?
The MCTAR-SPLP clamps to any AR-platform rifle or carbine with a flattop receiver (picatinny rail top). It works with both 16-inch and 20-inch barrels, though the windage increment size varies between the two (see Specifications).
Will this sight interfere with my scope or red dot?
No. The low-profile design folds down to less than half an inch above the receiver, staying well clear of your optic's sight picture. Flip it up only when needed as a backup.
What's included in the box?
The sight ships with a hex wrench for clamp installation. No additional tools are required.
How do I adjust for windage?
The deeply grooved knob on the sight clicks in .65 MOA increments (on a 16-inch barrel) or .49 MOA increments (on a 20-inch barrel). Adjust it to match your point of aim with the rear aperture you're using.
