Developed to satisfy customer requirements, Defense Solutions Group, Inc; in cooperation with Midwest Industries announces the new MI-PEQ15-FS and MI-NGAL-FS front sights. Both are designed specifically for use with the L3 PEQ-15 (ATPIAL) and SOCOM’s new L3 NGAL laser designator and illuminators on M4 and AR15 variants.
Both sights allow the operator a standard M4 sight picture and are the correct “F-Marked” sight height. The included adjustable sight post provides for a full range of zero distances for the weapon. Both are suitable for use as a stand-alone front sight or in conjunction with the devices. MI-PEQ15-FS is retail priced @ $124.95.
Features:
-Designed to work with Restricted and Commercial models
-Requires only one rail slot on the handguard
-Mil-Spec “F-Marked” Sight Height for true co-witness ability.
-Full range of sight post adjustment for correct zero distance ability
-M4 Sight Picture
-Includes Steel A2 Front Sight Post Tool
-Uses Standard A2 Front Sight Post
-Compatible With Aftermarket Night/High-Vis Front Sight Posts
-Machined recoil lug
-Steel clamp screw threads into stainless steel Helicoil for maximum strength
-Billet Machined From T6 6061 Aluminum
-Type 3 Hard Coat Anodized
-1.5 MOA per click adjustments
-Weight 1.1oz (PEQ15 model. NGAL weight TBA)
The MI-PEQ15-FS is in stock and shipping while the MI-NGAL-FS is currently in production and expected to ship by September 2019.

I believe I’ve seen this before as the Railscales Leaf.
Thats a beautiful reverse engineered version of Railscales LEAF. Way to innovate. They even had the samples they bought from Railscales for sale.
Don’t buy these. What a scumbag move, they bought 3 Railscale LEAF sights at a industry discount. Then reverse engineered them and then sold off the LEAF sights on arfcom.
Scumbags.
I can’t believe you’re promoting this
It would surprise me that a manufacturer of multiple front sight options would have to “reverse engineer” this one. Buying a competitor’s product during product development is common practice.
Publicly selling your used competitors products just prior to releasing your own design is just poor form.
Didn’t this all happen before with MI and Dakota Tactical hand-guards?
Stick with Railscales as they are high quality and were not stolen from another builder.
Frankly, I don’t understand either product (the Railscale OR this). If you are running either IR laser system, it is most likely your primary or secondary sighting system (depending on occupation), with the day optic being the other. With that being the case, why push the laser back (unless it’s a super long rail, which 99% of the time it is not) to mount a BUIS that you are likely never going to use. Just mount it mid rail in front of the day optic, giving real estate priority to the more important IR laser (your primary or secondary sighting system) and having a reduced sight radius on the irons that will likely never be used? I could care less about the less than ideal sight radius on my THIRD sighting system. Most who say this is dumb have never tested shooting an AR with that setup. You can make hits inside of 100m just fine. I just don’t get the line of thinking for this product.
From all the whining on Instagram and in here, you’d think Railscales was the first to invent putting a front sight in front of the IR laser…
There are some pretty material differences here, like compatibility with standard front sight posts, wider range of front sight height adjustment, no proprietary sight tool, and using a stainless helicoil instead of directly screwing a steel screw into aluminum.
From my observations, despite what MI is claiming, the RS is a superior design. Maybe the Midwest Industries marketing sounds awesome to a non-engineer/designer but this is not the case.
I believe RS omits using the standard front sight to allow for a design that does not touch the body of the laser unit. As you can see on their Instagram, the MI version is in contact with the PEQ near the laser emission ports. If your front sight gets bumped or dropped, it has the potential to shift zero or even break the LAM. I would take a proprietary front sight and tool just for that benefit alone.
A stainless steel helicoil is needed on the MI version because it is made of 6061. The RS is 7075 and does not need a helicoil. Kind of strange how MI is making a big deal out of their helicoil when the material they use is inferior to the RS version.
I do hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, so I think I am at least marginally qualified to talk about mechanical design. I’m not going to say one is better than the other without having used both, but I am only marginally concerned about contact between the laser and the sight. With either sight the laser housing is going to be the weak link when it comes to impact and due to the positioning and size I have a hard time seeing how something would hit the sight and not the laser itself. The use of a helicoil isn’t just for strength, it is also relevant because of the possibility of galling the screw and the sight together. While in an ideal world all aluminum sights would be 7075T6, the material strength of 6061 is more than likely adequate for the task.
Don’t support parasitic products. Furthermore if you’re on here trying to justify another companies piss poor ethics and business practices go punch yourself in the face,
