Frequently Asked Questions
Will this front sight work with my existing rear iron sight or BUIS?
The Midwest Industries Combat Rifle Front Sight is designed to deploy to standard mil-spec height, making it compatible with most A2-height and mil-spec folding rear sights on the market. For a true co-witness setup with a red dot optic, pair it with a rear BUIS that also sits at mil-spec or lower-third co-witness height, depending on your optic's mount height.
Can I replace or swap the front sight post on this sight?
Yes. This sight uses a standard A2 front sight post, which is one of the most widely available sight post formats in the AR-15 platform ecosystem. You can replace or upgrade it with any drop-in A2-compatible post, including tritium night sight posts, using a standard front sight tool — no gunsmithing required.
How do I zero this front sight once it's installed?
Zeroing is straightforward: each click of the front sight post adjusts your point of impact by 1.5 MOA. To move your group down, raise the front sight post (turn counterclockwise); to move it up, lower the post (turn clockwise). Start with a 25-yard zero to establish a baseline, then confirm at your preferred distance — typically 50 or 100 yards for most AR-15 applications.
