TacFire AR-15 45-Degree Rapid Transition Back-Up Sights

Rapid Transition Iron Sights for Modern Rifles

The TacFire 45-degree back-up sight system represents a practical solution for shooters who rely on optics but want reliable iron sight capability without removing their primary glass.

Construction and Durability

These sights are machined from T6 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with black anodizing. The material selection ensures strength and corrosion resistance while keeping weight minimal—important considerations for any tactical or sporting rifle.

Functional Design

Front Sight Features:

• Adjustable A2-style post for precise elevation changes
• Allows quick zeroing for different distances

Rear Sight Features:

• Dual apertures accommodate both close-quarters and extended-range shooting
• Smaller aperture for distance work improves sight picture clarity
• Larger aperture for rapid target acquisition at closer ranges

Operational Advantage

The 45-degree mounting angle is the key innovation here. By simply canting your rifle 45 degrees, you transition instantly from your primary optic to iron sights without removing the rifle from your shoulder or changing your shooting position. This design keeps your optics mounted and ready while providing a backup system that's always accessible.

Ideal For

These sights work well for AR-15 platforms where shooters want redundancy, training flexibility, or a backup system for duty or sport shooting applications.
