This Samson Quick Flip Front Sight is the SIG-specific dovetail version designed to install directly into the factory front sight dovetail found on SIG Sauer 556, 556R and 522 rifles.
It is not a Picatinny / MIL-STD-1913 rail mount and is not the HK rail version. This model replaces the original front sight unit on compatible SIG platforms and locks into the proprietary dovetail interface used on these rifles. No rail section or adapter is required.
The spring-loaded flip mechanism allows fast deployment when needed and folds flat when running optics. Built from steel for durability, it provides a robust iron-sight option for shooters who want a compact front sight that matches the original SIG dovetail geometry.
Note: This is the front sight only.

Q: Will this fit a Picatinny / 1913 rail?
No. This model mounts into the factory SIG 556-series dovetail. It does not clamp to Picatinny / MIL-STD-1913 rails.
Q: Is this the HK version?
No. This is the SIG dovetail version. The HK version is a different product made for Picatinny rail mounting.
Q: Which rifles does this fit?
SIG Sauer 556, 556R and 522 with the original factory dovetail front sight cut.
Q: Will this fit AR-15 or other rail handguards?
No. AR platforms use Picatinny rails. This sight does not mount to rails.
Q: Will this fit other SIG rifles?
Only the 556-series rifles listed. Other SIG models use different front sight interfaces.
Q: How do I check which mount I need?
If your front sight position is a rail, this is not the correct model. If your rifle has a factory dovetail front sight base, this is the correct version.
