The UTG low profile flip-up sight coexists along the same plane as a long gun’s primary optic. Although more than capable of performing on its own along with its matching low profile front sight, many will equip the two just in the event their primary optic sees a failure. Take it as a form of insurance and that it would be better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. Keep the two flipped down and stowed away under your primary optic. If Murphy’s Law finds its way to you, take comfort knowing the two can be readied and depended on within seconds.
Sometimes you need an expensive sight, and sometimes a good budget sight will do. Charlie's like to bring you value.
Equipping the sights simply requires them to be pushed upward by the hand. The Posi-lock plunger will then activate, locking the sight tower in the upward position when deployed and preventing any accidental folding of the sights while in use. This is especially important when using the sights in tandem with other gear such as a sling or in an atmosphere where equipment can easily be snagged on something. Thanks to their low profile shape and minimized 3mm locking bolt mounting deck, when stowed away, the two sights sit extremely low and are unobtrusive to optics and or accessories.
