Many
shooters feel the standard AR15
and AR10
removable front sights are cumbersome to use, too easily misplaced, and
distracting when optical sights are deployed. The GG&G Flip Up Front Sight For Dovetailed Gas Blocks
is easy to install,
simple
to deploy,
weighs in at only 3.2 ounces and includes a
mechanical locking detent
system.
It can easily be installed by the operator onto the AR15
or AR10 dovetailed gas
block
with
only an
allen
wrench, which is included.
Once installed, it can remain in place, as it can be raised or lowered
instantly. Protective
ears are provided for the sight with gripping serrations to more easily raise
and lower the sight assembly
in combat environments. With
the mechanical locking detent, the front sight cannot be accidentally lowered.
To lower the sight the operator only has to push a button.
When in the upright position it provides the same command height as the
original AR15/M16
or AR10
front
sight
and can be co-witnessed with red dot optics.
To
insure flexibility, we
use standard military
sight
components in this combat
ready
sight. The
GG&G Flip Up Front Sight For Dovetailed Gas Blocks
is
manufactured from solid
4140
billet
chrome moly
steel and is bead
blasted and manganese
phosphated to
provide a non-reflective, corrosion resistant matte black
finish
meeting mil–spec
requirements. All
edges have been dehorned to protect the shooter.
As
an option, a Trijicon Tritium Front Sight Post
can be ordered with the sight.
