Midwest Combat Frnt/rear 45 Deg Sght

The Midwest Industries Combat Front/Rear 45 Degree Sight system delivers ambidextrous offset sighting capability for AR-15 platform rifles and other firearms equipped with continuous Picatinny rails. Constructed from lightweight 6061 aluminum, these low-profile combat sights remain completely out of the way until needed, offering operators a proven alternative to traditional co-witness configurations. The 45-degree offset design keeps sights clear of optics while maintaining rapid target acquisition capability across the full operational spectrum.

The front sight employs a standard A2 front sight post with dual apertures, providing both precision aiming and rapid engagement options in variable lighting conditions. Its low-profile design minimizes the sight plane above the rail and reduces overall firearm profile. The fully ambidextrous configuration allows installation on either the left or right side of the rifle, accommodating both right and left-handed shooters without modification. The aluminum construction balances durability with minimal weight penalty—critical considerations for patrol rifles and tactical carbines where every ounce matters. Weighing just 0.38 pounds, the sight system adds negligible mass to the platform.

This sight configuration is favored by operators who run magnified optics as primary sighting systems and require a dependable backup sight that occupies no foot-print within the primary optical axis. The 45-degree offset placement keeps backup sights functional while eliminating the co-witness height stack that traditional front-and-rear rail-mounted sights demand. Patrol officers, competitive shooters, and tactical training operations benefit from the modularity of offset sights, which allow rapid transitions between optics and iron sights without requiring the shooter to change head position or firing stance.
