KNS Precision "cross hair" type front sights offer the shooter a front sight that covers less of the target at longer ranges. The 0.240" diameter CNC machined blackened brass housing offers a large, bright field of view. Hooded sights have 0.250" housing for greater protection of the cross hair under demanding conditions and better shielding from stray light.

    This was very easy to install, and very easy to use. It improved my accuracy with iron sights many times. Does not block the target like the standard post would. I recommend anyone who uses an AR-15 or similar to use this product!

    This and a Hogue grip are a must have for any AR. As soon as I noticed Midway sold these I bought 2. They are absolutely light years ahead of the factory front site post. I should have bought them long ago. Great quality, great finish though kind of shiny, the cross hairs are fine, and the view is very crisp. Not to mention that Midway has the best $$ I could find. By far the most functional, bang for the buck, add-on for an AR.

    Vastly improves sight picture and speed of acquisition over a bare post - without spending a fortune. Precision machining, nice finish. Well worth it.

    An excellent little sight, very well made, very useful. My regular AR-15 front sight is so wide that it totally covers the target at 300 yards. The fine crosshair reticle on this front sight is easy to focus on, fast to acquire, yet doesn't obscure the target. The hood is well-made, and definitely large enough to protect the crosshairs. I'm very glad I bought this sight.

    Very well built. With my aging eyes, it really defined the target for me.

    Love it. Best when used with a .030 or .040 rear sight aperture. Improved my shooting by 100%.

    An absolute must-have for any AR owners that make use of open sights. Installed easy and feels rugged enough to deal with any punishment. These will go on all my AR in the future.

    I was not satisfied with the stock post. The crosshair is great! Easy to install, and easy to use. Perfect for the iron sights fan!

    I was excited to try this sight and it was very accurate after I got it sighted in. Everyone who tried it, loved it. Unfortunately, when I picked up my rifle today the vertical cross hair was gone. I've only had this sight for one month and the rifle stays in a padded case, it saw no abuse. Sadly, this sight gets one star from me.
