Description

The Griffin Armament M2 sight set solves a problem every builder eventually runs into: you want a rock solid backup iron sight, but you don't want a bulky, snag-happy pair of sights hogging rail space next to your optic. The M2 answers that with a genuinely tiny footprint and a weight that barely registers, coming in right around 2.5 ounces for the front and rear together. These are real steel sights, not an afterthought.

What sets the M2 apart is the modular base plate design. This set ships with the 12 o'clock bases, so you can run them traditionally in-line with your optic. The system is built around interchangeable plates, meaning if you later grab the offset angle bases separately, the same sight towers convert to ambidextrous 45-degree canted irons. It's a smart way to future-proof a build instead of buying a whole new sight set down the road.

What Makes the M2 Sights Worth the Rail Space

Material choice is where Griffin flexes a bit. The M2 bodies are machined from 17-4 PH stainless steel with a QPQ salt bath nitride finish, the same class of material Griffin uses on their suppressors and muzzle devices. In a market full of polymer backups, this is overbuilt in the best way, and it doesn't come with a weight penalty. Robust spring tension in both flip-up towers means they snap open crisply and return to the same zero every single time.

Adjusting and Running the M2 Sights

The front uses a familiar A2-style elevation post, so it's compatible with just about any aftermarket post you like, whether that's tritium, fiber optic, or a match-grade unit. Best part is the exposed front detent plunger can be pressed with a fingertip, so post swaps and elevation changes don't require a special tool. Out back, a low-profile slotted windage screw keeps things snag-free while still giving you secure, repeatable adjustment.

Whether they're riding behind a red dot as insurance or serving as your primary irons on a lightweight build, the M2 set gives you dependable aiming in rain, snow, or fog without leaning on glass or batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the Griffin M2 sights come with the 45-degree offset bases?

This set ships with the 12 o'clock bases for standard in-line mounting on a Picatinny rail. The angled 45-degree offset plates are sold separately if you want to run the sights canted. Because the tower assemblies are the same, you can add the offset plates later without buying a whole new sight set.

What are the M2 sights made of and how durable are they?

The M2 bodies are machined from 17-4 PH stainless steel and finished with a QPQ salt bath nitride treatment. That's the same grade of steel Griffin uses on their suppressors and muzzle devices, so durability is not a concern. In a category where polymer backups are common, these are built to take a beating and hold zero.

Can I use these as my only sights, or just as backups?

The M2 set works both ways. Plenty of folks run them as backup irons behind a red dot or magnified optic, while others use them as primary irons on a lightweight, no-optic build. The robust spring tension keeps them returning to zero every time they flip up.

Are the M2 sights compatible with aftermarket front sight posts?

Yes. The front uses a standard A2-style post, so it accepts common aftermarket options like tritium, fiber optic, and match-grade posts. The exposed detent plunger can be pressed with a fingertip, which makes swapping posts or adjusting elevation possible without a special tool.
