WHY SHOOTERS STILL LOVE A2 IRONS
• Always ready: no batteries to fail at the range or in storage.
• Tough: aluminum construction built to hold zero through bumps and abuse.
• Simple: point, aim, shoot — no menus, buttons, or learning curve.
WHO THIS REAR SIGHT IS FOR
This detachable A2 rear sight is ideal if you want a durable, no-nonsense aiming system that works on any AR-15 upper with a standard Picatinny/1913 rail. It’s also a perfect backup to a red dot or LPVO — flip to the appropriate aperture and keep shooting if your optic goes down.
WHY ADJUSTABLE (A2-STYLE) MATTERS
• Precise windage and elevation: dial your zero with familiar A2 clicks.
• Dual apertures: small for distance/precision, large for close range and low light.
• Repeatable adjustments: positive, indexed clicks you can trust.
