Frequently Asked Questions
Will these sights co-witness with a red dot or holographic optic?
Yes. The Midwest Industries Combat Rifle Sight Set is designed with a super low-profile rear and a standard low-profile front that are compatible with absolute and lower-third co-witness setups when paired with common optics like an EOTech or Aimpoint. However, exact co-witness height will depend on your specific optic mount height, so verify compatibility before purchasing.
Do I need any special tools to install these sights on my AR-15?
The set conveniently includes a Midwest Industries A2 front sight tool, which is required to adjust and install the front sight post. The rear sight typically mounts directly to a Picatinny or MIL-STD-1913 rail and can be installed with basic hand tools. No gunsmithing is required for a standard installation.
Are these sights suitable as a primary sighting system, or only as backup iron sights (BUIS)?
The MI Combat Rifle Sight Set is versatile enough to serve as either. Built to mil-spec dimensions and featuring precise MOA-click adjustments with dual locking detents, they are robust enough to function as your primary sighting system on a duty or range rifle. They are equally well-suited as BUIS when mounted alongside a magnified or red dot optic, deploying instantly when needed.
