The TacFire AR 45-degree flip-up spring-loaded sight set is a front and rear iron sight pair that mounts at an offset angle from the main sight line (TacFire part no. IS003). The idea is to leave an optic on the rifle and canting it 45 degrees to pick up the irons when a close target shows up, instead of removing the optic or switching to a second rifle. The front sight pops up with a push of a button and locks in place. Both sights are black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, so the set stays light on the rail.

Key Specifications

• The set is a 45-degree offset design, so you cant the rifle to bring the irons into use while the optic stays mounted.
• The set includes a front and a rear sight, so it works as a complete backup iron sight pair.
• Both sights are made from T6 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, chosen for strength and low weight.
• The finish is black anodized, which resists wear and keeps glare down.
• The front sight uses an adjustable A2 post, the familiar AR front sight element.
• The front sight is spring-loaded, flipping up with a push of a button and locking into position.
• Once locked, the front sight holds position so the zero is maintained each time it is deployed.
• The rear sight has dual apertures, one for short-distance and one for long-distance shooting.
• The set is designed for AR-platform rifles, as an auxiliary sight alongside an optic.
