A Trustworthy Partner: Brownells^® Introduces New Flip-up Sights for Flattops

Long-range engagements can quickly move to close quarters. Likewise, riflescopes can fail or become damaged. In combat situations, a reliable alternative isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Designed as an instant, dependable back-up sight system, Brownells^® introduces its new flip up sights (#080-000-429, set) for flattop AR-15/M16 rifles and carbines.

Both front and rear sights’ solid-steel construction features a detent ball locking system for ease of use and reliable sight repeatability.

"No matter their price tag, optics can fail to perform,” said Tim Dillon, Brownells law enforcement/military group manager. “In training, it’s a nuisance, but it can be life or death in a conflict. The new flip up sight system provides shooters with a back-up sight precise enough for long-distance accuracy yet quick enough for close-quarters.”

The rear sight clamps directly to a flattop rail and features a rotating disc with four aperture diameters. This attribute allows the shooter to adjust the field of view for either short- or long-range targets.

Two Allen-head screws lock the front sight’s clamp to a rifle’s gas block or handguard. Additionally, the thick, protective ears of the front sight prevent damage to the sight post during the most demanding conditions.

Available individually or as a set, the flip up sights are backed by Brownells’ complete satisfaction guarantee.
