Lightweight aluminum, flip-up sights provide instant backup if your primary sight fails or the tactical requirements change. Innovative, spring loaded detent button locks the sight in the upright position to ensure it won’t fold down unexpectedly. Steel cross-bolt is countersunk to provide a smooth, snag-free surface. Clamps to Picatinny or Weaver-style flattop rails and with proper setup will co-witness with an Aimpoint, EOTech, or similar red-dot sight system. All models feature standard military A2-style double peep apertures for an excellent field of view for both short- and long-range targets. Large, knurled windage knob is easy to grab and provides 0.48 MOA adjustment on M162E4 rifles and 0.65 MOA on M4 carbines. Precision machined from 6061 T6 aluminum and Type lll hardcoat anodized for durability; includes heat-treated, 4140 steel hardware. Standard sight includes a .062" diameter aperture for precision accuracy during daylight, especially at long range. Large, .195" diameter aperture provides a wide field of view for close quarters operations.

Works well(23/09/2010)
I put this site on my new RRA AR. It sighted in just fine. My only gripe is that when it folds down it does not lay totaly horizontal because the ears hit the flat top reciever. Not a big deal but that's why I gave it 4stars and not 5.
BUIS review(19/05/2011)
GGG makes quality american made products. I have used this on my patrol rifle for five years and will continue using it. The zero holds well, even while getting banged around in the rack in my patrol car. I actually like this sight better than the ARMS, Magpul and Troy Industry.
Great backup(10/09/2011)
Solid construction, sits perfect with a riser or optic mounted forward of it. When folded down it will sit flush above the charging handle when the larger aperture is used. Also no bulky cross-bolt knob getting in your way, and very easy to adjust the windage.
