The NcStar MARDRS AR-15 Rear A2 Backup Iron Sight delivers reliable aiming capability when primary optics fail. This flip-up backup sight features dual aperture settings for versatile shooting applications across different ranges and lighting conditions.
What Makes This Different
The MARDRS incorporates a traditional A2-style dual aperture system with modern flip-up convenience. Unlike fixed rear sights, this unit folds completely flat when not needed, preserving a clean sight picture through primary optics. The dual aperture design provides both a large peep hole for close-range work and a smaller precision aperture for extended distances. Spring-loaded detents ensure positive lock-up in both deployed and folded positions.
Key Features
- Dual aperture A2-style sight picture with large and small peep holes
- Spring-loaded flip-up mechanism with positive detent positioning
- Mounts to standard Picatinny rail systems without modification
- Aircraft-grade aluminum construction with Type III hard anodized finish

Field performance centers on quick deployment and consistent sight alignment. The sight springs into position with a firm press, locking securely for immediate use. Both aperture sizes accommodate rapid target acquisition in tactical scenarios while maintaining precision capability for longer shots. The anodized finish resists corrosion and wear from repeated handling and environmental exposure.
