The Samson Quick Flip A2 Front Sight delivers reliable backup sighting capability with rapid deployment when optics fail. This spring-loaded flip-up sight maintains zero through thousands of rounds while providing the familiar A2 sight picture shooters know and trust.
What Makes This Different
The Samson Quick Flip features a robust spring mechanism that locks positively in both up and down positions, eliminating wobble that plagues cheaper alternatives. The machined aluminum construction weighs just 1.2 ounces while withstanding impacts that would destroy polymer sights. The A2-style sight post adjusts for elevation using standard AR-15 sight tools, maintaining compatibility with existing training and muscle memory.
