Super Slim Flip-up Rear Sight

The UTG Super Slim Low Profile Front (MNT-755) and Rear (MNT-955) sights offer great value and quality for backup AR sights. These sights are standard issue on the Springfield Armory Saint AR platforms and that says allot about the quality, value, and durability that these sights deliver. When paired together, they provide very low profile flip up sights that are quickly engaged and locked in place. A simple press pin releases the lock and the sights fold down. Very durable aircraft aluminum construction , easy to install, accurate and plenty of windage and elevation adjustment. Holds zero very well and are very accurate. Running about a 1 1/2" groups with shelf ammo at 100yards with my aging eyes. Not bad at all! The MNT-955 Rear sight has a dual aperture rotating ring that can be easily adjusted for both close in and away yardages. Windage is adjusted by hand and holds its mark. The MNT-755 Front sight is adjustable for elevation but a tool, not included, is required to adjust the front sight post. You can customize a tool or buy one for under $10. Both sights come with a Allen wrench for mounting. I painted the front post white to help my aging eyesight. May have to find some glow orange paint soon as I'm not getting any younger. At least not yet! Only issue with these sights is the plastic ball bearing swivel which can be swapped out with a metal one for durability. The plastic ball bearing ensures a solid lock-up without any sight tower wobble. I paired these sights with a Vortex Strikefire II Red/Green dot optic and realized a 1/3 lower co-witness view with the UTG sights. (UTG sights are visible in the bottom 1/3 section of the field of view when looking thru the optic.) Excellent combo and you might want to try the 36/300 yard zero with the 25yard adjusted zero targets for the 5.5" center mass strike zone out to 300 yards. Very impressive and might just become your favorite zero yardage? Most shooting ranges accommodate the 25, 50, 75, and 100 yard pins so the 25 yard adjusted zero targets gives you the 25 yard point of aim zero and a 36 yard point of impact zero so you can easily adjust for a 36yard zero when shooting at the 25 yard pin. Not many ranges offer a 36 yard pin so I hope that makes sense for you? Check out Vigilance Elite and ARMA Dynamics for printable targets with caliber details for your shooting range. Watch Shawn Ryan's 36yard zero video and you'll get the picture real quick. Thank you for your service Mr. Ryan! Very impressed with the quality, durability, ease of use/installation, and value that these UTG Super Slim Flip up sights deliver. Might just be the BEST Value/Quality Backup Sights on the Market today? Drink Up me Hearties! YoHo!

2nd Edit: I've had these sights for a couple months and even originally thought I'd replace them the Magpul MBus. But the longer I have them the more I like them. It's been cold so no outdoor shooting and I finally got to a range with a 75 foot lane. I was pleasantly surprised that the grouping of these iron sights was as tight as my red dot, and the iron sights tell me that I have to re-zero the red dot. No bench rest in these two groups shown in the last image above. Edit: As a new rifle shooter I didn't understand what "lower 3rd co-witnessing" was. I thought I needed sights that stood up more and also didn't understand that I wasn't holding the butt stock of my rifle high enough. And so I may repeat some of what I said initially, but have grown to have a greater respect for these sights. As I've lived with them for a few weeks I can say they are very easy to install, to use and sight in, providing you get a front sight adjustment tool. If anything fails it will be the ball bearing that allows the sights to flip up and hold position. While they do not have the push button flipper that Magpuls have, they can be deployed just as quickly. Unlike Magpuls you don't have to wrestle them on and they secure easily and lay very flat. I have changed my rating to 5 stars. If you're a range warrior like me these should suffice. Most of us aren't spending 6 months in Iraq pr Afghanistan, toting these things around, dragging them through sand on a daily basis. You can always spend twice the money or more for something more "battle tested" but I think that choice would be made for durability in harsh conditions rather than because of ease of use or accuracy. I think these are reliable enough as they seem well engineered and manufactured to withstand a modest amount of abuse. This rear sight installed in seconds on my picatinny rail. My only (remaining) question is how far back is optimal? I have room to move backwards, but want to make sure that when folded is clear of the charging handle of my AR. It is simple to operate. Just flip it up and it locks in place. You push the release button and fold it back, all done with one hand. It's got two apertures, a wide and narrow which you can alternate with a simple flick. The windage adjustment works as advertised, with nice little "clicks" as you make your adjustments. I found these to be great in the respect that I don't have to dismount my red dot to use the iron sights. Even better, I was able to use the red dot to be able to get this rear (and also front) sight align and basically sighted in. If this works for the initial adjustments it should save me some $$ not having to spend it on ammo to get it sigthed in. I'll have to see how good this method works later in the week at the range. [See edit below]. Edit: I gave it overall 4 stars and probably would have given it 4.5 stars were that available. I don't think these are rugged enough to withstand 6 months of daily abuse in Afghanistan, but most of us aren't in Afghanistan or Iraq, are we? I did get out to the range to test them, and was got them zeroed in quite nicely, I think. My AR is my first rifle so I didn't understand things like "lower third co-witnessing" and initially thought the rear sight didn't stand up high enough. Maybe compared to others it doesn't, but it seems good enough for a backup and the quality for the $50 or so I spent on the set I think they are quite well made. The windage adjustment worked easily but getting the front sight lowered without a front sight adjustment tool was an ordeal. I subsequently got this one [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IOF60LQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1] and made things a lot easier. The only thing was that I had to screw the front sight down as far as it could go to zero, using the co-witness of my red dot to zero in, which worked quite well [see target photo- 65'/20 meters, no bench]. I got to compare them with a set of Chinese Magpul knockoffs and these are FAR superior- and for not that much more money.

Impressed, and this is comparing it to my MBUS polymer, and the cheap but equally effective GRG back up iron sights I also got off Amazon. Thousands of rounds on the GRG's, and all they required was a small teardown and blue loctiting, and they have been rock solid ever since. Don't care for the aperture setup on the MBUS polymers at all. These are not spring loaded, but they do stay down, and when you flip them up manually, they click into their upright position with ease. They snap up, and the locking detent pops out and locks them upright. The aperture setup on these sights is why I migrated back to these from any other back up iron sight; look closely at the pictures on Amazon and you'll see that's it's a neat design. Sight picture is great, but using these apertures is a bit different than your traditional M16A2 sight picture. The apertures are almost invisible, kind of ghostly in your sight picture. Just enough of it can be seen to get your sights lined up, but this also allows for far more peripheral sight picture awareness. Attached is my final 3 shot group, from the range today, after three 3-shot groups to re-zero my rifle. I did NOT need to adjust any windage in, and that was the case with the first set of these I've had in the past, which is odd, in a cool way. My rifle had been re-assembled after my doing some work on it, so I was re-zeroing the entire system, not just the sight. Dialed in to this level after 12 rounds and the rifle as a whole running 100% is awesome; my front sight post on my rifle needed the adjusting. Still a touch high, but excellent for my purposes. Rifle was still a bit dirty in these photos. Results speak for themselves. In terms of durability, these seem quite tough. I'm not worried about the flip up detent ball being polymer, as you're not going to be actuating the sights 8,000 times a year. They're back up sights, not flip them up and down every other shot, sights. I purchased this unit back in the end of 2016, but returned it after a couple weeks due to the little detent switch not quite working. It seems as though that has been fixed entirely. There seems to be an added steel plate where the locking switch rides inside the sight mount, which the old unit didn't have IIRC. Buy them. I'm using these over more expensive sights. BTW, these are the rear sights that come on the Saint rifle, from you know who. I can't think of a reason to not rate it all at 5 stars; easy as pie to install, $21 is amazing for a decent rear sight like this, and the accuracy is excellent.

It came in on time and it’s pretty solid it came with the L key to tighten it and it feels like it’s good quality. Update just installed it today. It was very easy to put on and is accurate but my only complaint is that it’s wobbly. Also, it is made out of plastic. I thought it was metal but I cannot complain for the price. It works good. Update it’s a solid sight it came zeroed from 10 to 15 yards but it dose shoot high and you can’t adjust it

I’ve ran these for five years now and I could confidently say that these are excellent. They’ve held zero since the day I set them up and show little to no wear after countless range trips and 1000s of rounds. Great BUIS

I threw this on my flat-top AR as a backup for my red dot, and honestly it impressed me more than I expected for the price. Installation takes a few minutes and a 3mm locking bolt secures it firmly to any Picatinny rail. Once it's on, it sits low enough that it doesn't interfere with your primary optic at all. The aircraft-grade aluminum construction feels genuinely solid. The posi-lock plunger with spring-loaded ball bearing keeps the sight locked up tight and has shown no zero shift through many range trips. The dual aiming aperture is a real practical feature: the smaller aperture is great for precision work, and the larger one lets you acquire targets fast in low light or at speed. One quirk to know going in: this is not a spring-loaded auto-deploy design. You push it up manually and press the side plunger to fold it back down. Not a deal-breaker at all, just different from some competitors. Also, tighten the side plate screw carefully since the screw can strip if you torque it down too aggressively. The recommended 25 in-lb is about right. For backup iron sights at this price, this is a genuinely hard deal to beat. Great value, good durability, and it pairs perfectly with the matching UTG front sight.

Excellent

I wanted something of good quality and preferably made in the USA that wasn't too expensive. This was made in Taiwan, but at least it was designed by and sold by a US company and not made in communist China. Until we move our manufacturing base back to the USA, this is an acceptable compromise. The sight is very sturdy and easy to attach securely, so I'm happy with the purchase. When installed, it lays low so it is out of the way of my red dot sight, but when I flip it up, I can see right through the red dot and can even align the two so that they are both on target. There are some sights that are much more expensive, but this does the job well. I also bought the matching UTG flip-up front sight.

In confronto agli altri prodotti utg questo è veramente di ottimo livello, è stato lavorato correttamente, resta in posizione e si monta perfettamente. Non invidia nulla a marchi più rinomati e costosi.

Gute Funktion. Im Preisverhältnis top und für Hobby sport ausreichend. Klappfunktion gut.. Einstellmöglichkeiten voll okay

Also ich muss mich erst mal bei der Firma entschuldigen.Front und Rear Sight wurden beide mit der Begründung von mir zurückgeschickt, weil sie haken. Ich hatte mich von einem Vorredner dadurch schon sensibilisieren lassen. Allerdings hat dieses Haken allein damit zu tun, dass beide Visiere erst einmal durch kräftiges Hand anlegen in Position gebracht werden müssen, was schon etwas Mut verlangen, da ich Angst hatte, etwas zu beschädigen.Danach laufen beide einwandfrei. Des weiteren ist die Qualität beider Visiere TOP.Ich kenne Die von MacPul und Konsorten,die können in jedem Fall mithalten,man kann das 5fache dafür ausgeben.Knackige feste Justierung,da wackelt nix da klappert nix.Ich habe bisher einiges von dieser Firma gekauft,Tragegriff AR15,Zielfernrohr,AR15 Griff,alles bisher TippiToppi,weitermachen.....

Tacca di mira ottima, come dimensioni, fattura e praticità. Davvero ottime. Arrivate due giorni prima del previsto. Prodotto consigliato.

Macht einen sehr guten Eindruck.
