This is a precision steel ball bearing designed as a replacement component for AR-15 A2-style rear sight assemblies. The bearing provides the positive detent and reliable indexing that keeps your sight adjustments locked in place during shooting. When the original bearing wears or becomes damaged, this replacement restores the crisp, positive feel of your elevation and windage adjustments.
The ball bearing is the critical component that creates positive detent in your A2 rear sight. When you adjust elevation or windage, the bearing seats into indexed positions and holds your adjustment locked. Over time or with heavy use, this bearing can wear smooth or become damaged, causing your adjustments to feel loose or fail to hold position. This replacement bearing restores that positive lock and ensures your sight stays where you set it.
Made from precision steel and finished in natural polished steel, this bearing resists corrosion and maintains dimensional accuracy over extended use. The spherical design ensures even contact and consistent detent pressure across all adjustment positions. The polished finish prevents binding and allows smooth indexing action.
Follow safe handling and manufacturer instructions. Ensure compatibility with your specific A2-style rear sight assembly before installation. Verify the bearing seats properly and functions smoothly after replacement.
