I searched and found nothing. My aperture can be very reflective, making it difficult to look through.
Anyone paint theirs with matt black or anything?

I'll sharpen the outline of my pistol sights with a flat black paint marker. I find that modern rifle BUIS require less maintenance as they are exposed to less friction as my pistol sights.
I was just curious if there is a better option than paint. I was just going to grin and deal with it...but the other day I coukd hardly make the front posst through the light.

I've never messed with the rear sight, but back before RDS I remember it was popular to darken the front sight post with soot from the flame of a lighter
About 35 years ago, we blacked the sights on our competition handguns with Birchwood Casey Sight Black or a carbide lamp to cut the glare. Our handguns had beautiful blue finishes and the sight black could be wiped off when you cleaned your pistol.
These days I am not so worried about the finish on a working firearm. If I have a problem with glare on a working firearm, I will hit the area with flat black high temp paint in a spray can. If I don't have high temp paint available, I will use whatever I have under the work bench.

I just realised I failed to mention. This is a question regarding my ar15. The "cup" is catching light on the rear aperture.

Hit it with some matte black krylon and call it a day. It's no big deal.
