Midwest Combat Rifle Rear Sight

The Midwest Industries Combat Rifle Rear Sight is a low-profile flip-up rear aperture sight engineered for modern tactical rifles requiring both precision and speed. Constructed from phosphate-finished ordnance-grade steel and 6061 aluminum with hard-coat anodizing, this sight delivers durability across demanding duty cycles. When folded, it presents a .388-inch centerline for minimal snag risk; when deployed, it rises to full Mil-Spec height for proper sight picture. The dual locking detent springs provide crisp, positive positioning without play, critical for maintaining zero during rough handling or rapid transitions between firing positions.

The intermediate aperture is optimized for engagement distances spanning close-quarters combat to extended-range precision work. Shooters benefit from the larger aperture's light transmission advantage in low-visibility conditions while maintaining acceptable accuracy for target work beyond 300 meters. The sight's material composition—steel and hard-coat aluminum—resists corrosion and abrasion from environmental exposure and repeated deployment cycles. At 0.13 pounds, the weight penalty is negligible, making it suitable for any rail configuration without impacting balance or handling characteristics.

This rear sight suits operators, LEOs, and serious enthusiasts running semi-automatic tactical carbines configured for duty, training, or competition use. The flip design integrates seamlessly into rifle setups using primary optics, allowing rapid fallback to iron sights if electronics fail or damage occurs. Dual-spring detents eliminate rattle while ensuring the sight locks reliably in both deployed and stowed positions—essential for vehicles, dynamic movement, or austere environments where vibration and shock are constant factors.
