Shipping & returns — Trusted Distribution Partner items
When will my order ship?
Trusted Distribution Partner items typically ship within 1–3 business days from our partner's warehouse, separate from any Faxon-fulfilled items in your order. Transit times depend on the carrier and destination.
Will tracking come from Faxon?
Yes — you'll receive a tracking notification from Faxon Firearms when your partner-shipped item leaves the warehouse. If your order also contains Faxon-fulfilled items, you'll receive separate tracking for each shipment.
Can I combine this with other Faxon items in one shipment?
No. Items marked Trusted Distribution Partner ship from a different warehouse than Faxon-fulfilled items and will arrive separately. Each shipment has its own tracking and may arrive on different days.
How do returns work for partner-shipped items?
Returns for Trusted Distribution Partner items are handled by Faxon Customer Service rather than through our standard self-service portal, so we can coordinate the return with our partner on your behalf.
To start a return, contact us at customerservice@faxonfirearms.com or submit a request through our support form and select “Refund / Return.”
Is this product authentic and covered by warranty?
Yes. All Trusted Distribution Partner products are sourced from authorized distributors and are covered by the original manufacturer's warranty. Faxon stands behind every product sold on faxonfirearms.com.

Midwest Industries Combat Rifle Sight Set - Ships From Sports South
Folding BUIS Set • Picatinny Rail • 6061-T6 Aluminum
MIDWEST INDUSTRIES COMBAT RIFLE SIGHT SET — MICRSSET
Folding Front & Rear 6061-T6 Aluminum Windage Adjustable Elevation Adjustable Picatinny Mount Detent Secured Snag-Free Profile 2.6 oz Set Includes Sight Tool
The Midwest Industries Combat Rifle Sight Set delivers a complete folding backup iron sight solution in a single package — one front sight and one rear sight, both machined from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in a durable matte black coating built to hold up against weather, wear, and hard use. Whether you run them as your primary sighting system or as a backup behind a magnified optic or red dot, they install quickly on any standard Picatinny rail and disappear until you need them.
Both sights fold flat with a detent-secured design that locks them positively in the upright position under recoil and in the folded position during transport. The detent is firm enough to prevent unintended movement but engineered to collapse under a hard impact — protecting the sight body from bending or breaking rather than transferring that force into your rail or receiver. The low-profile, snag-free geometry means the sights won't catch on gear, cases, or your support hand during a fast draw or transition.
Adjustment is built into both sights. The rear sight is windage adjustable and features an aperture for precise target acquisition. The front sight post is elevation adjustable using the included sight adjustment tool — no hunting for a separate tool at the range. Once dialed in, zero holds reliably under normal use.
Midwest Industries backs this set with their lifetime guarantee, and the aluminum construction keeps the combined weight of the set to just 2.6 oz — a negligible addition to any build.
✔ Best for: Shooters building an AR-15, AR-10, or any Picatinny-railed rifle who want a matched, fully adjustable BUIS set from a single manufacturer. Ideal as a primary iron sight setup or as a co-witness backup behind a red dot or holographic sight.
✘ Not for: Rifles without a Picatinny / MIL-STD-1913 rail (M-LOK or KeyMod handguards require a separate rail section). Buyers who need a fixed (non-folding) sight or a specific aperture size for competition rules should verify specifications before purchasing.
ℹ Note: Backup iron sights complement but do not replace a zeroed primary optic. Confirm co-witness height compatibility with your specific optic mount before installation.
Key Features
- Machined 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction — Both sights are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum — the same aircraft-grade alloy used throughout the tactical accessories industry for its combination of strength, low weight, and corrosion resistance. The durable black finish adds a protective barrier against wear and weather without adding bulk.
- Folding, Low-Profile Design — Both the front and rear sights fold flat against the rail, keeping your sight picture clear when running a primary optic and reducing the risk of snagging on gear, cases, or your hands during rapid deployment. When upright, they present a clean, unobstructed aiming solution.
- Detent-Secured in Both Positions — A positive detent mechanism locks each sight firmly upright during firing, preventing movement under recoil. The same detent holds them flat during storage and carry. Critically, the design is engineered to collapse under direct impact rather than transfer that force to your handguard or upper receiver — protecting your rifle from damage.
- Windage-Adjustable Rear Aperture Sight — The rear sight features a precision aperture and tool-accessible windage adjustment, letting you dial in left/right zero at the range and hold it reliably in the field. Aperture sights are faster and more forgiving to acquire under stress than open notch designs.
- Elevation-Adjustable Front Sight Post — The front sight post adjusts for elevation using the included sight adjustment tool — no separate purchase required. Adjust to your preferred zero, lock it in, and the post holds position through normal use.
- Standard Picatinny / MIL-STD-1913 Rail Mount — Both sights mount directly to any standard Picatinny rail without adapters or shimming. Compatible with AR-15, AR-10, and any other rifle or carbine platform running a MIL-STD-1913 rail on the top of the handguard or upper receiver.
- Matched Set from a Single Manufacturer — Buying front and rear sights from the same manufacturer ensures consistent height, finish, and design language. No mismatched sight heights or conflicting profiles to troubleshoot at the range.
- Includes Front Sight Adjustment Tool — The front sight elevation tool is included in the box. You have everything needed to install and zero the set without sourcing a separate tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the Midwest Industries Combat Rifle Sight Set?
The MICRSSET includes a folding front sight, a folding rear sight, and a front sight adjustment tool. Both sights mount directly to a standard Picatinny / MIL-STD-1913 rail. No additional tools or hardware are required for installation and zeroing.
Will these sights fit my AR-15?
Yes, provided your AR-15 has a standard flat-top upper receiver with a Picatinny / MIL-STD-1913 rail. The vast majority of modern AR-15s use this configuration. If your rifle has a free-float handguard with M-LOK or KeyMod slots, you will need a short Picatinny rail section to mount the front sight. The rear sight mounts to the top rail of the upper receiver, which is Picatinny-standard on virtually all flat-top AR-15s.
Can I use these as backup iron sights (BUIS) behind a red dot or scope?
Yes. The folding design is purpose-built for BUIS use. When folded, the sights stay out of your optic's field of view. Deploy them instantly if your primary optic fails or runs out of battery. For co-witness use with a red dot, confirm that the height of your optic mount provides either absolute co-witness or lower-third co-witness as preferred — this will depend on your specific mount height rather than the sights themselves.
How do I adjust windage and elevation on these sights?
The rear sight adjusts for windage using a tool-accessible windage adjustment screw — turn it to move your point of impact left or right. The front sight post adjusts for elevation using the included front sight tool — insert the tool into the post and rotate to raise or lower your point of impact. Standard practice is to zero windage at the rear and elevation at the front. Make adjustments at your target distance of choice, confirm zero, and the sights will hold their setting under normal use.
What keeps the sights from folding down unintentionally during firing?
Both sights use a positive detent mechanism that locks them firmly in the upright position. The detent is strong enough to resist recoil and vibration during normal firing. It also holds the sights flat in the folded position to prevent them from deploying unintentionally during transport or storage. If a sight takes a direct hard impact while folded, the design allows it to collapse rather than bend or break — protecting the sight and your rifle from damage.
What is the weight of the Midwest Industries Combat Rifle Sight Set?
The complete set (front and rear sight) weighs 2.6 oz. The 6061-T6 aluminum construction keeps weight minimal without sacrificing durability — a meaningful consideration for shooters managing overall rifle weight.
