The Midwest Industries MICRSR Combat Rifle Rear Flip Sight delivers precision backup sighting for AR-15 platforms when primary optics fail. This low-profile iron sight system provides reliable target acquisition through its spring-loaded flip-up mechanism and windage-adjustable aperture. Built for tactical applications where sight reliability can mean the difference between mission success and failure.
What Makes This Different
The MICRSR features a dual-aperture system with both large and small peep holes for varied engagement distances, unlike standard single-aperture designs. Its aircraft-grade aluminum construction withstands impacts that would damage polymer alternatives. The sight indexes at the same height as A2 front sight posts, maintaining consistent sight picture across different rifle configurations. Spring tension keeps the sight securely locked in both up and down positions.
Key Features
- Dual-aperture rear peep sight with large (.070") and small (.040") openings
- Spring-loaded flip-up mechanism with positive lock positions
- Windage adjustment with audible clicks for precise zeroing
- Same-plane height as A2 front sight post for consistent sight picture
- Low-profile design clears most optic mounts when folded
- Mounts to any MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail system
- Type III hard coat anodized finish resists corrosion and wear
Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes and harsh conditions. The sight maintains zero through repeated folding cycles and heavy recoil from high-powered cartridges. Law enforcement agencies specify this sight for patrol rifles where backup iron sights provide critical redundancy. Competition shooters rely on its repeatable zero when transitioning between different shooting stages.
