Super Slim Flip-up Front Sight, Black

Edit 2: It's been a few months and I am impressed by the seeming durability and accuracy of these sights. At first I thought about replacing them (the rear too) with Magpul Mbus because so many go with and recommend the Magul, perhaps largely because of the name. But the UTG's are METAL sights and sit very low and out of the way. I think they're just as easy or easier to deploy than the Mbus. I got these sighted in and at 75' without a bench rest shot some pretty respectable groups. See the photo above and you can see the group in the photo is as tight as the one with the red dot (which apparently needs re-zeroing). If you're not going to play in the sandbox or on a regular duty where stuff gets abused why pay more, especially if red dot is your main thing?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.You can always spend twice the money or more for something more "battle tested". But it seems rugged enough and I would think these are reliable enough as I think they are well engineered and manufactured to withstand a modest amount of use.This front sight installed in seconds in the forward-most position on my picatinny rail. 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 not spring loaded like some, but IMO the spring loading is absolutely not needed and something else to break. A small plastic bearing clicks it in place and I've seen how it could be replaced by a steel bearing if needed.I found these sights 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 the sights aligned 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. THE ONE THING that I wrestled with is the front sight adjustment without the tool. I used the red dot to dial in windage and elevation, but the front sight was tricky to do without the $10 front sight adjustment tool. You have to push down on the locking pin which is off to the side by the right wall, then attempt to turn the turret. With other sights you can do that with your thumb and a bullet, but the adjustment is too recessed in the housing. I ended up using a small allen key to push the release button and a bullet (sometimes a nail) to turn the turret. It wasn't easy and took about 15 minutes to get the elevation where it coincided with the red dot. It would have taken 60 seconds with the proper tool. I didn't mark the accuracy box, but I have no doubt that once I make any additional adjustments it should be fine. Hopefully it will (and I expect it to) hold zero well.I originally gave it overall 4 stars,because of the hassel of the elevation adjustment and perhaps only because it's not a Magpul or Troy that have are industry standards. But if my red dot ever isn't available I think this will work fine as a backup. As a follow up, I temporarily had a set of Magpul knockoffs for almost as much as the UTG sights (thinking they were genuine when I purchased them as they were advertised as such... and got my money back). While the genuine Magpuls would be better quality than what I received with the knockoffs I could see that the UTG sights are a great value. I hope to compare them to genuine Magpul sights,but I think I'm going to still like the UTG sights better. We'll see. Stay tuned.

I truly believe you can’t go wrong with iron sights. Better the have and not use than to not have when needed. Works really well it was super easy to install fit great and the alignment was perfect and the design was nice touch metal is way better than plastic.

Mounts solidly, pops up easily and stays put until you press the release button to push it back to reserve position. I really like the wider spacing of the "ears" -- you get a good view of the sight post with no confusion, while still getting some protection for the post itself. Made in Taiwan, not the PRC. All-metal, so it can be mounted on a Picatinny-topped gas block.

This and its rear flip up pairing are really well made for price. I very much appreciate how easy it is to flip up and how well the detent locking mechanism works. Yet still easy to push the button to release and drop. Both front and rear. They also take up very minimal rail real-estate yet hold on stable and well. Backup sights not primary sights, if you aren't running glass optics I'd get more traditional real A2 or similar with better BZ zero settings. But as backup sights, I am very impressed..

These worked well on 2 PCC’s that needed back Up Iron Sight. Easy to sight in!

The sight has a great fit and finish and very rugged. Paired with the flip down rear sight it co-witnesses perfectly with my Sig Romeo 5.

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 100yard zero 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 point of impact 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!
