Yankee Hill Machine Flip-Up Front Sight Handguard Height AR-15 Aluminum Matte

A Yankee Hill Machine AR-15 flip-up front sight in aluminum matte finish gives you a reliable backup iron sight system when your primary optic fails or you need to switch to irons. Sized for handguard height, this same-plane sight mounts directly to your Picatinny rail and aligns with standard rear sights, so your point of aim stays consistent whether you're running a scope, red dot, or iron sights alone. The flip design lets you fold the sight out of the way instantly, then deploy and lock it with a simple push—no tools needed during a fight or at the range.

Built from aluminum with a matte finish that resists glare and blends with modern rifle furniture, this sight handles the rigors of training, hunting, and duty use. Yankee Hill's design accepts standard AR sight posts and hardware, so you're not locked into proprietary parts if you ever need to swap components. Installation is straightforward: use the included thumb screw to secure it to your rail, and you're ready to go.

Whether you're setting up a hunting rifle, a three-gun competitor's backup system, or a home-defense AR, a quality flip-up front sight pairs perfectly with a fixed or flip rear sight to give you a complete iron-sight option that's faster to deploy than anything mounted off-plane.
