The 45-degree offset backup sights you've described offer a practical solution for quick transitions between your primary optic and backup iron sights on your rifle. Here are some key features and details about these sights:
Offset Angle: These backup sights are designed to mount at a 45-degree offset angle from the main sighting system, which allows for rapid switching between your primary optic and iron sights by simply tilting the rifle. This feature is particularly useful in situations where you need to engage targets at different distances quickly.
Mounting: The rear sight mounts on the receiver rail, while the front sight mounts on the handguard top rail. You have the flexibility to install them on either the left or right side of the receiver. This setup eliminates the need to co-witness backup sights through your optic.
Bore Height: These sights provide the same bore height and sight picture as standard USGI sights, ensuring consistency in your aiming.
Rear Sight: The rear sight is equipped with flip-up long- and short-range apertures. It is adjustable for both windage and elevation in MOA clicks, allowing you to make precise adjustments to your point of impact.
Low Profile: The sights sit only 0.20 inches above the Picatinny rail, ensuring that they do not interfere with the main sighting system or the beam path of military laser/flashlights.
Installation: Installing these sights is straightforward and requires no special tools. They can be easily mounted using a slot tip screwdriver.
Materials and Finish: These sights are constructed from DuPont polymer, providing durability and reliability. They are finished with a Mil-Spec MIL-A-8625F Type III Finish, which is known for its resistance to wear and corrosion.
The 45-degree offset sight combo set includes one front and one rear sight, providing you with a comprehensive backup sighting solution for your rifle. These sights are designed to enhance your shooting capabilities by allowing quick and efficient transitions between optics and iron sights when needed.
