Redesigned GG&G flip-up offered
Thursday, 10 December 2009
ImageThe newly redesigned GG&G Spring Actuated Flip Up Front Sight for tactical forearms is the latest evolution of this accessory. Although specifically designed to provide the correct sight height when mounted on a tactical forearm, it can also be installed on gas blocks that are at the same height as the upper receiver.

With just a push of a button, the front sight can quickly be deployed on target. With the introduction of the Spring Actuated A2 BUIS (Back Up Iron Sight), it was only a natural progression to provide an A2 flip up front sight with the same features and benefits. The sight not only springs into an on-target position with just the push of the actuator button, but it also locks solidly into the upright on target position. Another push of the button and the lock is released, allowing the sight to move into the locked down position.

All models of the sight are manufactured from 6061 T-6 aluminum and are bead-blasted and hard-coat anodized to provide a non-reflective, corrosion-resistant matte black finish meeting mil-spec requirements. All edges have been dehorned for the operator's safety.

As an option, a Trijicon Tritium AR-15 front sight post can be ordered with the sight for accuracy in low-light operations. This tritium front sight option is the perfect accessory for police and tactical users who may be moving in and out of darkness in real time.

The price of the sight is $79.96. For more information, click here.
