will this mount allow for an iron flip up site to co-witness with an A-2 front sight on my AR ?

No, it would require an additional riser. From the bottom of the mount to centerline of the scope is 1 1/2"

I don't know for sure but I doubt it. You might check out some of the 100+ Amazon reviews to see if someone successfully used this mount with your configuration. One of my ARs (Colt 9mm carbine) has the fixed carry handle so I have to use the cantilevered mount for my EoTech holographic sight. Co-witness is not possible with the bulky EoTech sitting in the middle. My other AR variant is the S&W; M&P; Whisper 300. The Leapers mount did not provide enough clearance for the scope I initially wanted to use. I ended up using a Nikon scope and the Nikon APG camo mounts on it and they do allow co-witness of the iron sights on that particular rifle. I don't know for sure but I doubt it.

Yes - you absolutely can use the PRO with iron sights on an AR-15 pattern rifle. With the included mount, the red dot should be an absolute co-witness with your fixed iron sights. You can buy another mount later if you would like the iron sights to be lower in the sight picture at a 1/3 co-witness level.

The one i got did not come with a mount. However it will work with flip up sights. You just need to order either absolute or lower 1/3rd co-witness mounts

This mount will work on any AR with or without a front site tower. The scope will not see the front sight assembly unless it is extremely low magnification. You do not want to be over the front sight tower as the cheek weld will be almost impossible to achieve also alignment of bore and center of optics will not allow the scope to be zeroed properly.

The mount goes over the iron sights but there is enough of a gap in between the rail and the sights that you probably could still use the iron sights as well. I've never actually tried it myself but looking at it, it looks pretty possible

I mounted it with the "CCOP MNT-1516 High Profile AR-ArmourTac Rifle Scope Mount Rings for Picatinny Rail, 30mm"If you're talking about fixed front and back iron sites this might be an issue. I have flip up iron sites and when flipped up they do block the scope.

No, because of the magnification the front site disappears. It will not be a problem, if you use a low power scope (1-4) you may be able to co-witness

I don't think so, I have a flip up rear back up sight on one of my AR 15's and still had to modify(grind down) my scope mount. the sight you have is a stand alone sight and even if you could get both on the rail it would interfere with your scope visually. maybe a set of canted back up sights or a flip up would work for you.
1359538
yes, that is what I have, but you will need a 1/2" riser to cowitness with your front A2 and rear MBUS sights

This is high enough to co-witness. IMO you wouldn't want a scope to be high enough to completely look over the front sight that wouldn't offer a good check weld or shooting position. Your crosshairs will be looking through the front sight post. If you are using 3x and up magnification you most likely will not see the front sight A2 post. If that is a problem change out the A2 for a gas block with folding front sight.

On an AR-15 the site will be co-witness with the iron site (FSB)! If that helps!

If you are mounting this front flip up sight on a (flat top weaver rail) it will be perfect for a rear sight such as a (carry handle rear sight). It measures 1-1/2" from the top of the weaver rail to the very top of the overall sight, wich is above the sight post that you will use for sighting in your weapon. I have this flip up sight on my flat top(ar15) and it works great. I have a carry handle rear sight, and a flip up (low profile) front utg sight. IF you are getting this sight to flip down so you can use optics you'll be fine. Be careful because... utg also makes a flip up sight that is not a (LOW). It all depends on the rear sight. Good luck!

It is considered a high mount, providing proper clearance and eye position. If you have a fixed sight and low power setting on your scope, you will be able to see that front sight. You might try a folding front sight to cure that problem. If you are trying to co-witness iron sights and scope, it will not work right, because of magnifying effect, even thou the height will be right.

should co witnness with front site post, if not then add riser. have to check to be sure, works on my s&w ar 15

No, it will not. It is too low to accommodate a flip up a magpul MBUS under the scope. Hope this helps.

No, you can use the mounts supplied to use a co-witness set up. The one drawl back is the sight is small and may limit your vision through the optic to see your sights. Either way you can still use the irons through thr optic.

Yes, one(1) will work to secure the scope to a weaver or picatiny rail. However it will not give you the proper height for co witness of iron sights on the standard AR-15 platform. If you do not need a co witness set up and prefer your scope to be close to the barrel then one of the low rings will work perfect. Hope this helps.
