Frequently Asked Questions
Will this flip-up rear sight co-witness with my red dot or holographic optic?
Yes. The NcStar Pro Flip-Up Rear Sight is designed with a low profile that folds flat beneath most optics, and when deployed it is compatible with standard AR-15 co-witness heights. For absolute or lower-third co-witness, check the specific height of your optic mount to confirm compatibility before mounting.
Is this rear sight compatible with standard AR-15 front sights?
The NcStar Pro Rear Sight is designed to pair with standard A2-style or folding front sights commonly found on AR-15 and M4-pattern rifles. For best results, use it alongside a matching flip-up or fixed front sight to establish a proper sight picture with both apertures.
How do I adjust windage and elevation after mounting?
Windage is adjusted using the integrated windage knob on the side of the sight body — click adjustments allow precise left/right zeroing. Elevation is set via the adjustment screw, which is accessible with the included mounting tool. It is recommended to zero the sight at your preferred distance (typically 25 or 50 yards) before field use.
