Lewis Machine & Tool Company (LMT) produces a great set of Flip Up iron sights.  There are two different models – one calibrated for 7.62 ballistics on a rifle length system and one designed for a 62gr 5.56 carbine.  The flip sights have a cam system that allows them to fold under light pressure but spring back into position.  The positive detent firmly locks the sights in the up position.

They co-witness perfectly to my Trijicon MRO.  Of course, they also fold flat when not in use.

The set weighs 0.278 pounds.  Attach to rail using a standard flat head screwdriver.  These are well made and solid.  Best of all manufactured right here in the USA.
