Mft Frnt Bck Up Sght W/stnd Elev Blk

The Mission First Tactical Front and Back Up Sight with Stand Elevation is a dedicated rear backup iron sight designed to mount on any Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny rail system. This polymer-constructed backup sight accepts standard front sight posts and features a slim profile that sits low enough to coexist with mounted optics—a critical design consideration for modern rifle platforms where co-witnessing or riser-height compatibility directly impacts shooter performance.

The sight's elevation adjustment system operates at 1/4 MOA per click, delivering precise zeroing over a usable range. A standard sight adjustment tool is required to modify elevation settings. The folding mechanism is engineered to collapse toward the rear of the rifle—the correct direction in case of impact or drop—protecting the sight post from dust and debris while stowed. At 0.06 lbs, the weight penalty is negligible, making it suitable for any rail-mounted configuration without affecting balance or handling characteristics.

This backup sight is built for operators and shooters who require a no-fail sighting system independent of electronic optics or batteries. It serves duty rifle builds, training platforms, and any configuration where redundant aiming capability is essential. Law enforcement carbines and military-pattern rifles benefit from the insurance this sight provides during duty transitions, malfunction response drills, or when optics become compromised. The polymer construction balances durability with weight, while the compact footprint ensures it remains accessible without fouling handguard-mounted accessories.

Backup iron sights remain foundational to professional rifle setup. Unlike quick-detachable alternatives, a fixed rear sight integrated into the weapon system eliminates the potential for loss or misalignment. The MFT design prioritizes co-witness compatibility and passive operation, making it a proven choice for shooters who treat iron sights as essential rather than supplementary.
