Mission First Tactical EXD Metal Back Up Sights

Having back-up iron sights can keep a rifle going, and Mission First Tactical now has a rugged set in its EXD Metal design.

The sights are CNC-machined from steel to fit Picatinny rails and then nitride treated. A low-profile base and folding design makes it easy to tuck underneath mounted optics and other accessories.

The rear is a windage-adjustable aperture, while the front includes a protected, elevation-adjustable, AK-style post.

MSRP is $100 (front) and $125 (rear). For more information, visit missionfirsttactical.com.
