Help Identifying a Weapon Component

[Bluu]

Hello AOD!

I'm modeling a Scar assault rifle and have run into a roadblock when it comes to identifying a particular component of the weapon. I'm attaching an image to illustrate the problem area. If anyone here could tell me what that piece is called, I'll be eternally grateful.



Many thanks!

Looks like the flip up rear iron sights bro.

Thank you very much!

Basic modular iron sights, FN SCAR-L CQC version, it looks like. Standard 3rd gen iron sights.

It's likely a dual use peep / battle sight as well. Peep sight for longer range plinking etc and an open battle sight for cqc.

Thanks a million! You guys are the best.

I've completed the model. Will post it here soon.

Nope, the irons on a SCAR only work in the deployed position. it's a cylinder with a peep sight on top, there is no aperture milled into the base.

That's the part that they open beer bottles with.

Not familiar with the scar type sights ... I had an ar15 with the dual use flip sights

Yea, the newer rifles with built in flip up irons they're generally only for use deployed since they're considered back-up irons when your optic dies for whatever reason. My tavor's are milled into the rail and you can actually mount stuff to them when they're folded.
