Iron Sights - Flip Up Backup Sights
Elevate your zero‐backup capability with our Flip-Up Backup Iron Sights—rugged, intuitive, and ready to deploy when your primary optic fails or for co-witness setups.
Why choose our Flip-Up Backup Sights?
- Instant Deployment: Spring-loaded flip-up design pops sights into position with a single press, locking securely for repeatable elevation and windage alignment.
- Low-Profile Stow: When folded, these sights ride flush to your rail for snag-free handling and concealment—deploy only when needed.
- Rugged Construction: CNC-machined steel or impact-resistant polymer housings with Melonite or hard-coat finishes withstand recoil, impacts, and harsh environments without losing zero.
- Precision Adjustability: Tool-free windage and elevation knobs with clear detents and audible clicks let you dial in exact sight picture on the fly.
- Universal Compatibility: Picatinny-footprint mounts fit any MIL-STD-1913 rail—front and rear sets co-witness perfectly with most red-dots and scopes.
