Midwest Low Profile Flip Rear Sight

The Midwest Low Profile Flip Rear Sight is a same-plane rifle sight engineered for shooters who demand minimal obstruction paired with precision windage adjustment. Constructed from 6061 aluminum and hardcoat anodized for extended service life, this flip rear sight folds to the rear and stows at just 0.4375 inches when lowered, preserving sight picture clarity and enabling co-witness setups with optics. The dual aperture design delivers fast target acquisition across distance, while the ball bearing pivot detent locks the sight securely in the raised position without play.

Windage adjustment follows a micro-style knob calibrated to 0.49 MOA on M16-pattern rifles and 0.65 MOA on M4 carbines, allowing operators to dial precision adjustments without tools. The extremely low profile frame minimizes height over bore and weight penalty, critical for shooters running upper-tier optics or training with backup iron sight configurations. The locking detent mechanism ensures the sight remains fixed during recoil and handling without requiring additional setup.

This rear sight platform suits law enforcement patrol rifles, duty AR-pattern carbines, and precision training builds where co-witnessing or rapid optic-to-iron transitions demand a compact footprint. Weighing only 0.13 pounds, the Midwest Industries flip sight integrates into any Picatinny rail system without mounting complexity. Serious shooters choosing between integrated carry handles and modular optics find this sight essential for redundancy, reliability in austere environments, and the rapid fallback capability that defines professional rifle preparation.
