Excellent Fixed Front

Solid mount!

Great Buy

This front is built to do its job and can take a beating. This sleek design has no large knobs protruding off of it and the front sight is well protected. I have run multiple fighting rifle courses with these sight and they have not disappointed. My rifle and sights have taken the abuse of multiple days of shooting and I have not had to re zero them. I have this paired with Midwest Industries rear sight and I am very pleased with it.

Well made product

Placed a set of Midwest Industries front and rear back up sights on my AR-15. They are very clean and well made. Once installed they are both quite solid. I felt the set worked well and look great on the rifle.

Awesome, but..........

As a "REAL" gunsmith, I would have gave it a five star except for the fact that I had to mill out the fixed side a few thousandth's on the angle where it sits against the pic rail. It sat left of center of the center of the bore looking straight on when fixed. I used two different micrometers and an angle indicator and it was off compared to other brands we have. I tried this on 4 different brands of rifles, and it was the same.The quality on these are awesome and might fit on other manufacturers rails. I think that I will stick to Magpul's new M3 MBUS sights on my own rifles. I like the ability to fold Magpul's M3 flat against the rail. Real world battle sense!
