What is the best front sight to match with this?

Any front sight will work fine. I use the stock M4 gas block/front sight. I can look through my red-dot and sight righjt through it. If the red dot gets broken, I can pop it off and use the Matech and stock front sight. Works great.

I have a standard front sight but I replaced the post with a tritium filled one from meprolight. Just make sure whichever one you pick that it is adjustable for elevation as this rear sight only adjusts for windage and distance.

I have a GG&G 1281 Flip Up Front Sight. They work well together. Make sure that if you go that route, pick the sight that fits what your gun has. Some gas blocks are lower than the plane of where the rear sight mounts. If that's the case, choose the one that specifies "for gas block mounting." Mine happens to be the same plane all the entire length of the rifle, so this one worked fine. It's all aluminum and matches the finish on my rifle very well. Flip ups are nice when you opt to run optics also. Likewise, for red dots, it can cowitness if desired. A good red dot will not require a cowitness. The sight pops up with authority and locks in place. Once locked, it's very solid and steady. To fold, just press the button once more and fold it down...again solid engagement. There are many other sights to choose from. Some excessively high dollar ones that do the same job. As a Soldier with over 24 years experience with this particular platform and various sights and optics, as long as it's zeroed properly and remains undamaged, it'll perform better than the shooter for years to come. The front sight tool that this sight uses is the four prong one. For only a few bucks, it's worth buying it as well. The other option is to use a nail or the tip of a bullet to depress and move the sight as needed...usually causing little scratches where the tool does not. Hope this helps. Hit me up if you ever have more questions that I may possibly have an answer to.

I always leave it to personal preference. I think the best application for this sight is a turkey shotgun or muzzle loader.

It should work. These sights are almost the same height as a magpul MBUS rear sight and they will work with a fixed front post.

Yea, getting the old sight off is a mother bear , but once you do , you'll have to file fit the front sight base slightly to get it into the dovetail. I love these sights.

Yes that's the front sight I have. It lines up perfect. I didn't even have to sight it in.

nope sorry it will not fit your best bet is to get a good set of fiber optic sights

First of all I needed a short and low riser. Went with a Yankee hill for 14 bucks on Amazon. I have used a few front sights, but right now I have a polymer diamondhead with adjustable post. I wanted all the sights lined up for light or dark conditions. Could not clear without the riser.

I dont know but the sight fit right on with no trouble at all and it made a huge diffeance in the gun. I also bought the rear sight for it also and it fit right on also both worked excellent on the gun and was a huge improvement on the gun. If anyone wants to save a little then the front sight should be your first swap out.

No, the one I bought has a standard metal front sight. By the way, it is not very accurate. You ought to consider another rifle.

Mine is fixed in the front and it lines up with it. You will just have to adjust the sight

I don't have a variety at hand to doublecheck for you, but I'd like to make it clear that you can't "cowitness" the SeeAll with irons in the conventional sense. You can't see the front sight through it. Combined with the fact that its nigh indestructible and unpowered, it's more of an iron-sight replacement, in the same way a high power scope replaces all iron sights on most precision rifles. That said, the Amazon image looks to be about the right height, and (eyeballing it) I'd say that's a half inch riser. I highly suggest placing it as you would an Aimpoint red dot, and ditching your iron sights. Another compromise would be removing your front sight and keeping a rear sight, using the triangle of the SeeAll as a front sight.

I use magpul sights. The basic mount does not absolute cowitness. I would try the cantilever mount.

I have no idea. You might contact UTG and give them the make and model # of your front sight and the make and model # of your red dot sight and ask them if it would co-witness. Otherwise, just order the UTG 5-slot QD adapter, try it out with your red dot mounted on it, and if it doesn't co-witness with your front sight, send the UTG 5-slot adapter back for a refund.

This sight has no through hole in the front sight as the gun comes with the three dots with a dowel pin that secures the front sight. I bought a set and epoxy the front sight. after a few rounds the front sight flew off! I took mine to a local gun smith this weekend and have him fix it.

No front sight is needed for this sight, but I'm a fan of the magpul mbus sights, which I have on several of my long guns.

If you have the A2 post as a front sight, the UTG Medium Profile Riser Mount is the best fit for co-existing with the A2.

Yes, you can not find a better sight, for the core. Good luck I have two and love them, the mounting plates are provided for the core and many others
