The Revolution Model 1776 is a patented front sight and is like no other AR-15 / M-16 iron sight on the market today. The M1776 is tough, reliable and made in the USA. The M1776 is the fastest and most effective iron sight on the market. It is designed for use on any “same plane” picatinny rail system or railed gas block and can be used as your primary or secondary aiming platform. Want to save battery power, co-witness with your reflex sight, turn power off and run. The M1776 also has 40 MOA of elevation adjustment.

The M1776 offers the shooter:

Instinctive / automatic sight alignment
Immediate target acquisition
Unobstructed view of the intended target
Unparalleled sight picture

Other Features of the M1776:

Machined from carbon steel, durable and passes the four foot drop test standard
Offering up to 40 MOA of elevation adjustment
Interchangeable lens system that features a light gathering fiber optic rod embedded in an abrasion resistant acrylic lens. Negligible zero shift when changing lenses.
The fiber optic rod gathers all ambient light and provides a clear aiming reference (“dot”) for the shooter engaged in any shooting discipline including military and law enforcement
No tools necessary / quick release mounting system
No batteries or external power source necessary
NOTE – the M1776 is designed for use on single (same) plane mounting systems or receiver height railed gas blocks.

In short, the M1776 is quick, accurate, durable and simply the best iron sight for the AR platform on the market today.

The Revolution Model 1776 (“M1776”) is made in the USA and machined from carbon steel to exacting specifications. Our revolutionary patented design was conceived with durability and reliability in mind and is built to withstand the rigors of both law enforcement and military use.

Versatility

The M1776 can be mounted on any picatinny rail system using the quick detach lever system in 4 basic configurations:

mounted as a front sight on a quad rail or on a receiver height gas block when used in conjunction with a standard rear sight.
mounted mid-rail or forward for use as a singular sighting system for close range engagement using a consistent cheek weld
mounted forward and co-witnessed with a reflex sight ( turn off the power and used the reflex unit as a rear sight aperture)
mounted at a 45 degree offset (back up system)

The M1776 can be used as your primary or backup sighting system

Elevation adjustment is achieved by loosening the thumbscrew and rotating the globe. Each 180 degree rotation equals a 1 MOA elevation change on a 20 inch barrel. When zeroed just tighten the thumbscrew. Rotating the globe clockwise will raise the point of impact (“POI”) and rotating the globe counterclockwise will lower the POI.

An Interchangeable Lens System is incorporated into the M1776 to provide the user with optionality in the size and color of the fiber optic aiming dot. The aiming dots are sized at 30, 40 & 60 thousandths of an inch in diameter and come in red, green and amber colors. No tools are required to change lenses which takes approximately 30 seconds. There is negligible zero shift when changing lenses.
