With its modified handguard and upper receiver system, Rock River Arms\u00a0built a set of flush-folding backup iron sights into the upper along with the modular, free-floating rail. The IRS 2 series takes things further.<\/p>\n<p>Even minimalist folding backup iron sights can snag on clothes, slings and underbrush. These flush irons will never have that problem, plus they have a slick aesthetic appeal. Adding built-in iron sights is one thing \u2014 and appreciated \u2014 but moving the charging handle forward to the handguard is a significant improvement, especially when shooting prone. A forward charging handle can be manipulated without giving up a cheek weld and can be done with your support hand with no or at least minimal shift in grip.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_51111\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Rock-River-SHOT-Show-5.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"rock-river-ar-integral-sights\" title=\"Forward Charging AR w\/Flush Integral Sights - Rock River Arms IRS 2  - SHOT Show 2016\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51111\" title=\"Forward Charging AR w\/Flush Integral Sights - Rock River Arms IRS 2  - SHOT Show 2016\" class=\"wp-image-51111 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Rock-River-SHOT-Show-5.jpg\" alt=\"Rock River SHOT Show 5\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Rock-River-SHOT-Show-5.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Rock-River-SHOT-Show-5-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Rock-River-SHOT-Show-5-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-51111\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The charging handle levers are long enough to clear rail-mounted accessories.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half]<\/p>\n<p>[one_half_last]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_51109\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Rock-River-SHOT-Show-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"rock-river-ar-integral-sights\" title=\"Forward Charging AR w\/Flush Integral Sights - Rock River Arms IRS 2  - SHOT Show 2016\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51109\" title=\"Forward Charging AR w\/Flush Integral Sights - Rock River Arms IRS 2  - SHOT Show 2016\" class=\"wp-image-51109 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Rock-River-SHOT-Show-3.jpg\" alt=\"Rock River SHOT Show 3\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Rock-River-SHOT-Show-3.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Rock-River-SHOT-Show-3-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Rock-River-SHOT-Show-3-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-51109\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Like the iron sights, the charging levers also fold away when not needed.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n<p>The charging handle is ambidextrous with low-profile folding charging levers that fold up.
