Frequently Asked Questions
Is this sight compatible with my AR-15 or M4 upper receiver?
Yes. The Midwest Industries Combat Back Up Rear Sight is designed specifically for AR-15, M4, and M16 pattern rifles and mounts to any standard Picatinny or MIL-STD-1913 rail. Its mil-spec height ensures proper co-witness alignment with most standard front sights and folding front BUIS options.
Can I use this sight alongside a red dot or magnified optic?
Absolutely. This sight is purpose-built as a backup iron sight (BUIS), meaning it is intended to be used in conjunction with a primary optic. At mil-spec height, it will co-witness with many common red dot sights such as the Aimpoint and EOTech series, giving you a reliable fallback if your primary optic loses power or is damaged.
How precise are the windage adjustments on this rear sight?
The Midwest Industries Combat Rear Sight features tool-free click adjustments calibrated at 0.5 MOA per click for rifle-length gas systems and 0.65 MOA per click for carbine-length configurations. This level of precision allows you to dial in accurate point-of-impact corrections at the range and hold that zero reliably in the field.
