Is this mount high enough to prevent front sight of the MP 15 sport from being an obstruction?

If your scope has a power above about 2.5x, the focus of the scope is beyond the front sight, so the front sight is invisible. My M4 has a front sight and I use a 3-9x and do not see the front sight at all.

I have the colt le ar and I ended up taking the front sight post off. It got in the way of the scope sighting. Hope that answers your question..

No, the front site will stick up into your field of view. That being said, it depends on the power of your scope as to whether or not you will notice it. I use this mount with a Nikon P-223 3-9x and I only notice a glare my front site on the lowest zoom and when in direct sunlight. At 100 yards, I can still keep 30 rounds within a four inch radius. I have heard that you can swap out the front sight for a gas block, but I haven't tried it yet.

its only to high if you think it is..You have to be comfortable to get a good shot. I would have sold you my brass stacker mount for $40 lol it wasnt the right mount for my barska 16x50

I think it would be fine. You need dovetail mount for this. I have this on a air pistol and you can hold it away from your eye 6 inches without any problems.

I have mounted mine behind an Aimpoint PRO that was set for co-witnenn on a AR 15. It matched perfect. When behind my EOTech EXPS 3-2 it appeard to set too low, but surprisingly the sight picture was perfect, and centered

I mounted mine on an AK-47. With the mounting bracket, I can see over the front sights.

Yes. The sight post has a spring loaded pin to keep it in place. The pin can be depressed to allow for elevation adjustment or sight pin removal

As long as there's no front sight, as Mr. Adkins mentioned. When you put the scope on, because of the size of the rifle, you may need higher scope mounts too.

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.

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 dont believe it is high enough this sight's front post tip sits about 1 3/4 from my rail you might have to use a rail riser

No, factory mount is low, you need an AR co-witness height mount. I like american defense mounts, larue tends to dig into the sides of your rail.

If you are talking about an A2 style fixed front sight, than YES, you ABSOLUTELY need a riser mount to clear the front sight with this scope. The included quick detach mount is very low profile, and if you mount directly to the receiver rails the front sight post will totally block your view if you have an A2 style front sight. I had to buy a 1 inch riser for it to clear the A2 sight

No you will need a riser to clear front sight. Possibly a half inch riser will work.

I have a flat top with offset front sight, but with the Nikon mounts it should not impede the reticle or center of target but it will show in the site picture.

if not you can put 1" riser blocks under Neath the see thru mounts that is the way I did it on my smith & Wesson p22 I have the laser under Neath my barrel and a big scope on top and can see my iron sights with no problem so if it don't work just with the scope mounts you can but 1" riser monts form Amazon and I know that worked for me

No. I had to take the iron sights off. The high point front sight sticks up too high. It would be in your scopes view.

I believe it will mount just fine- you may not have much of a picture of the front iron sight using the peep holes though.
