Most Helpful Positive Review
Excellent, low profile sights.
These things are great. Solid construction, rear peep is between the typical two settings for AR sights, which is just about perfect.
Sturdy design with steel detents and a manual flip up that's easy to actuate. They flip down if you whack them with sufficient force rather than breaking.
And they take up next to no room. Especially compared to something like the polymer MBUS. Freeing up rail space near the back of the receiver is a damned boon when you're trying to fit on magnifiers or, for whatever reason, slipping them under an LPVO.
All in all? Excellent.
Seems like quality but poor design.
The springs used as threading does not secure the screw. Springs will eventually pop out if you torque the screw down with moderate hand tightness. Why not just machine the threads? Thanks for making me overpay for unusable sights.
Would recommend: No
Outstanding Value
I have iron sights ranging from Knights, to LMT, to Magpul and even some cheapies but these sights are a fantastic value and while I think my Knights are better I don't feel they are enough better to justify the price difference and so I am awaiting my second set of these sights in FDE. I have several high end ARs but lately I am building Aero and PSA ARs and these fit well on them and are doing a fine job. Remember folks not all of your ARs have to be tier one but if the firearm is tier one or something like a Bear Creek these Irons fit well on them and will do the job. I have beat the brakes off the first set of these and they are holding up to the abuse of constant training, dragging them through the mud, through the woods and dropping them. I cannot say enough good things about these sights. When I bought them I thought they would be just good enough but they have proven themselves to be contenders. I am a former 8404 navy Corpsman and I say these are as tough as the Marines I once served with.
Pros:
- Price, materials, ruggedness
Cons:
- They are currently out of them
Best Used for:
- Every AR you build
Would recommend: Yes
Great sights
As always, it’s a great product from Midwest Industries. I have several sets of these and they all perform exactly the same.
Pros:
- Very low profile. Fits under a flip magnifier.
Cons:
- None
Best Used for:
- backup iron sights
Would recommend: Yes
great set of iron sights
Was looking for a set of back up iron similar to the KAC but less expensive. Bought this set which included a front sight adjustment tool for less than a single piece from KAC. The machining of this set is quality work and came oiled at the pivot points and were able to be set up/hold zero quickly. The FDE paint job looks good and better looking than other plastic FDE irons.
Pros:
- Cost & Functionality
Cons:
- None
Would recommend: Yes
Excellent low-profile back-up iron sights
These sights are excellent. The rear sight peep hole is the perfect size, in between the small and large that are found on most rear sights. For backup sights, that's all you need. And the OpticsPlanet exclusive FDE coloring is perfect for some builds.
Would recommend: Yes
Top notch iron sights
This is exactly what I was looking for. The rear sight is very narrow and has a low profile. It doesn’t get in the way of the charging handle or magnifier. Very easy to use and sight in. Bonus, their FDE color is a perfect match to BCM’s FDE. I’m very happy with this purchase and I highly recommend this pair of Midwest Industries iron sights.
Would recommend: Yes
Great low profile backups
Heading says it all they are well made and have an extremely low profile(lower than troy or mbus gen 3). I had no issues mounting under my lpvo and they do not take up alot of rail space when folded.
Would recommend: Yes
Great Iron Sights!
Always like Midwest Industries products and these are no exception. They mount up nice (a little loctite for insurance) and zeroed quickly. Very satisfied with them and Optics Planet for the price and quick shipping. Would buy again!
Pros:
- Ease of use / install
Cons:
- None
Would recommend: Yes

Cons:
- None
Best Used for:
- Back ups for glass
Would recommend: Yes
Great Back Up Sights
I ordered these to put on my URGI upper. I’m very happy with the quality and feel of these sights. I was a bit hesitant to pay the $100+ for these but I’m happy with them.
I’d say give these a try, Definitely better than my Mbus flip up sights.
