Samson Fixed Rear Sight A2 Picatinny Black Dual Aperture

Description

The Samson Fixed Rear Sight A2 is one of those parts you bolt on and stop thinking about. Samson bills its fixed sights as some of the most robust combat sights out there, and the build backs that up. It's machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a Type III class 2 hardcoat anodizing, so it shrugs off the kind of handling that wears down cheaper sights. A stainless steel clamp locks it down onto the rail, and that solid mounting setup is a big reason these hold zero shot after shot.

What the Dual Aperture Setup on the A2 Gets You

This is a true A2 style dual aperture rear, which means the two apertures do different jobs. The larger opening carries a 0-2 marking for use out to about 200 meters, while the smaller aperture is meant for longer range work at 300 meters and beyond and raises your point of impact when you flip to it. Because it's an A2 design, moving between the two apertures changes your elevation, so you can transition from close to distant targets without fussing with dials. Windage runs at just over 0.5 MOA per click, giving you fine control when you're dialing in a zero.

Fitting the Samson A2 Rear Sight to Your Rifle

It clamps onto any mil-spec 1913 Picatinny rail and sits at the correct M4 co-witness height, which makes it a natural pairing with a matching fixed or flip up front and plays nice behind a red dot. One thing worth knowing before you order: it's built for standard height rails and is not intended for lower height gas block rails, so keep that in mind if you're running a low profile setup.

The precision laser engraving on the markings is clean and easy to read, and the overall fit and finish match what folks expect from Samson. Whether you're building out a duty rifle, a range gun, or a backup iron setup, this is a fixed rear that earns its spot and stays put.
