Frequently Asked Questions
Will this sight work as a backup iron sight (BUIS) alongside a red dot or holographic optic?
Yes. The Samson Fixed Rear Sight A2 is built at the perfect M4 co-witness height, meaning it will align directly through the lens of most full-height red dot sights such as the Aimpoint CompM series or EOTech holographic sights. This makes it an excellent fixed backup iron sight (BUIS) option that stays on zero and ready if your primary optic fails.
Can I replace the aperture with an aftermarket option?
Absolutely. The Samson A2 rear sight is designed to accept all aftermarket rear aperture replacements that conform to standard Mil-Spec dimensions, giving you the flexibility to swap in a different aperture size to suit your shooting style or vision needs without replacing the entire sight body.
Is this sight compatible with all AR-15 upper receivers and rail systems?
The Samson Fixed Rear Sight A2 is compatible with any standard MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail, which includes the flat-top upper receivers found on the vast majority of modern AR-15 and M4-pattern rifles. However, it is specifically not intended for installation on lower-height gas block rails, so ensure your rail section is at standard receiver height before mounting.
