The legendary MK-12 "Special Purpose Rifle" (SPR) and MK-18 short barreled rifle are extremely different beasts that have seen frequent use in America's war on terror.  The Mk12 is a 18" precision and long range M16 variant, whereas the Mk18 is a short, 10.3 in barrel variant suitable for urban and cave dwelling close quarters combat.  Despite how different these two weapon systems are... they both utilize this front sight.

The Knights Armament Corporation Mk12/Mk18 front sight is extremely low profile compared to other sights on the market, and features a shielded and protect front sight post.  The front sight post is protected by the FDE or Black hard anodized aluminum base, and folds up for emergency use when neccessarry.  It is adjusted for elevation in the same manner as the standard AR15/M16 front sight.

This backup front sight was purpose designed to be able to provide accurate close and long fire fire alike in the event of an optic failure on both a precision, and close quarters battle firearm.  It is intended for use on weapons made for Special Operations Forces, but is now available for purchase by the general public!
