YHM Yankee Hill 9680 A1 or A2 Flip Up Rear Sight BUIS

YHM-9680-A1 is a special design that has all the same features as our YHM-9680 model but features an A1 style windage wheel with a 1/2 M.O.A. windage adjustment. It prevents accidental adjustment of the sight. To adjust, simply depress the plunger with a bullet tip and rotate the wheel.

What is co-witness?

A: Co-Witness is the ability of your irons to look through your optic (1x - not magnified) - so they both shoot on the same trajectory. There are two kinds - absolute (both the dot and irons are on the same plan), and offset (where the irons are usually in the lower 1/3 of the optics display...uses a riser). With co-witnessed sights you can verify the zero of the optic by looking through the irons (the dot should sit on top of the front sight). However, normally you look over the irons and just use the optic (trust me, you won't notice the iron sights); should the batteries fail your head comes down a fraction of an inch and you're using the iron sights (looking through the now-dead optic).
