AR-15 TACTICAL BATTLE REAR SIGHT Reviews & Ratings

Tactical backup sight is always deployed, so there’s absolutely no delay, no fumbling when you need to transition from the primary optic. Troy designed this sight to be simple, rugged, and reliable—and it takes up only 1-1⁄8" of rail space. Precision machined from solid aluminum, with plenty of metal on the protective “ears” around the two-position aperture. All edges and corners are rounded, and there are no protruding knobs or levers to catch on brush, clothing, or other equipment. Rear of the base is undercut to provide clearance for access to the charging handle. Same-plane aperture flips easily between .190" and .070" diameter peeps, just like the Folding Rear Battle Sight. Windage adjustable in ½ MOA clicks using a coin in the slot of the flush A1-style detent-locking adjustment wheel. Clamps to any Picatinny rail; installs with a standard flathead screwdriver.

SPECS: 6061 T6 aluminum, hardcoat anodized, Black finish. 1.5” (3.8cm) OAL, 1.25” (3.2cm) maximum width, 1.875” (4.8cm) high from top of rail to top of sight housing. 1.8 oz. (52g) weight.

May need fitting

I had this sight on a 16" carbine for a few years and loved it. It fit the upper rail tightly and actually need to be tapped on with a mallet. I then switched the sight to a 20" rifle on a different upper. That is when I found out that 1913 rail spec is a range of measurements and this new upper was on the low end of the measurements. The sight would not tighten on the rail, so getting a zero was impossible. I then used the Dremel cutting disks and greatly widened and extended the slots, so the sight could be tightened. I succeeded in cutting the slots, it was not easy and it looks ghetto, but now tightens down nicely and holds zero like a king. I wish Troy would use a rail grabber like they do on the folding sights. The Daniel Defense 1.5 should not have these problems, since the slot is the full length of the sight. But it is a great rough duty fixed rear sight.
