NcStar VG166 Picatinny Low Profile Iron Sight Set Black Polymer

The NcStar VG166 Picatinny Low Profile Front and Rear Sight Set delivers reliable backup sighting capability for modern sporting rifles and tactical platforms. This polymer sight system mounts directly to standard Picatinny rails, providing shooters with dependable iron sights that won't interfere with optics or other rail-mounted accessories.

What Makes This Different

The VG166 features an exceptionally low profile design that sits closer to the rail than traditional iron sights, reducing overall rifle height and maintaining clean sight lines. Both front and rear sights incorporate protective wings that shield the sight posts from impact damage during transport or tactical use. The streamlined construction eliminates snag points while maintaining full adjustability for windage and elevation corrections.

Key Features

• Low profile polymer construction reduces overall sight height by 15% compared to standard iron sights
• Dual aperture rear sight with large and precision apertures for varied shooting conditions
• Protected front sight post with adjustable height for precise elevation tuning
• Tool-free windage adjustments on rear sight for quick field corrections
• Reinforced polymer construction withstands repeated recoil cycles and environmental exposure
• Universal Picatinny rail mounting system fits standard MIL-STD-1913 rails
• Matte black finish reduces glare and maintains tactical appearance

Field testing demonstrates consistent point of impact retention across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F. The sight set maintains zero through thousands of rounds of centerfire rifle use, making it suitable for competition shooting, patrol duty, and hunting applications. The polymer construction resists corrosion in humid environments while providing sufficient durability for regular training use.
