Kac 45 Degree Offset Fldng Sight Set

The Knights Armament Company 45 Degree Offset Folding Sight Set delivers backup iron sights mounted perpendicular to your primary optic, eliminating the need to remove or co-witness your main glass during close-quarters or transitional shooting. This configuration allows rapid transitions between primary and backup sighting systems without sacrificing sight picture quality or requiring tool-based adjustments in the field.

The kit pairs a 200–600 meter elevation-adjustable micro rear sight with a finger-adjustable micro front sight assembly, both mounted via a robust clamp-style base that secures to the 12 o'clock rail position. When not in use, the sight set folds flush to the right of the rifle's top rail, maintaining a clean profile and preventing snag during weapon manipulation or vehicle operations. This compact footprint—measuring just 2.25 × 2.25 × 3.63 inches and weighing only 0.25 lbs—preserves rail real estate for other critical accessories like magnified optics, night vision mounts, or laser designators.

Operators relying on red-dot sights, holographic optics, or variable-power scopes depend on 45-degree offset iron sights as a proven backup system for malfunction scenarios, dead batteries, or encounters beyond optimal optic range. Knights Armament's reputation for precision manufacturing makes this sight set a standard choice among special operations units, patrol officers, and precision rifle competitors seeking reliable backup aiming solutions. The adjustable elevation and straightforward deployment design accommodate both training environments and high-stress operational contexts where speed and accuracy cannot be separated.
