Why Choose the Samson Quick Flip Front (A2)
Fast Flip-Up Deployment: Intuitive, spring-assisted* action for rapid on-target alignment when seconds matter.
Locks Solid: Positive lockup in the upright position resists movement under recoil and during manipulations.
A2 Front Sight Post: Uses the proven, standard A2 post—click-adjustable for elevation with a common tool or cartridge tip.
Low-Profile When Stowed: Slim, snag-resistant profile folds flat to keep your sight picture clean and your rifle streamlined.
Rugged Build: Precision-machined aluminum (with steel hardware) and a hard black finish designed for harsh range days and tough field conditions.
Optics-Ready Co-Witness: Works as a BUIS in front of red dots/holographic sights; set up for absolute or lower-1/3 co-witness depending on your mount height.
*Deployment method varies by generation; models commonly use a spring-loaded, push-button design.

Performance You Can Feel
Repeatable Zero: Tight tolerances and a firm lockup help maintain zero through live-fire and transport.
Confident Manipulation: A textured button/lever (model dependent) gives positive purchase—even with gloves.
Clear Sight Picture: A2 post gives a familiar, crisp front sight reference for precise holds at practical distances.
Compatibility & Fit Notes
Rail Height: Designed for standard 1913 Picatinny top rails. If your rifle has a gas-block rail that sits lower than the receiver rail, select a gas-block-height front sight model instead to maintain correct sight alignment.
Rear Sight Pairing: Works with most folding or fixed rear BUIS (A2 aperture or similar).
Co-Witness: Pairs well with common red-dot mounts (absolute or lower 1/3). Choose mount height based on your preference.
Installation (Quick Guide)
Clear the Firearm: Remove magazine; verify the chamber is empty.
Place on Rail: Position the sight at the desired slot (typically last slot on the handguard/rail).
Torque the Clamp: Tighten per Samson/fastener spec; use medium threadlocker on clean threads if recommended.
Zero the Sight: At 25–50 yards (or your chosen distance), adjust elevation via the A2 post; pair with a rear sight for windage.
Tip: Mark your rail position with a paint pen to make re-installation fast and repeatable after cleaning or transport.
Ideal Use Cases
BUIS for Optic-Equipped Carbines: A dependable backup that stays out of the way until you need it.
Minimalist/Lightweight Builds: Primary iron solution that keeps weight and bulk low.
Training & Defense: Proven A2 geometry for consistent hits and straightforward zeroing.
Care & Maintenance
Keep it Clean: Brush carbon/dust from the pivot and detent.
Check Hardware: Verify clamp and pivot screws after initial range sessions.
Protect the Finish: Wipe with a silicone cloth to repel moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this work on my gas-block rail?
A: If your gas-block rail is lower than the receiver rail, you’ll need a gas-block-height front sight. This model is intended for receiver-height Picatinny rails.
Q: How do I adjust elevation?
A: Rotate the A2 front sight post using a front sight tool, small flat tool, or cartridge tip. Each click changes point of impact in small, predictable increments.
Q: Does it lock when folded?
A: The sight locks in the up position for stability. It folds down to a low profile for storage/transport; detent tension keeps it closed until deployed.
Q: Can I co-witness with my red dot?
A: Yes. Use an absolute or lower-1/3 mount height based on your preference; the sight is designed to align with standard receiver-height systems.
