Does this co-witness with standard AR-15 iron sights?

I think it would, but if you mount it to the upper there won't be enough room to put a rear sight on your weapon. I have angled irons on mine to get around that problem. If you could mount it on the forgrip then it sould. It looks to be the right height but I'm not sure.

yeah you can adjust it to co witness with any sight. I have the magpul flip ups and they work great together
1519611
Yes, as long as your iron sights are around the same level as the green dot

On flat top ARs the green dot sits a little bit above the front sight post but not by much. Not one of the fiber optic sights I have used co-witness with front sights.

No the rear sight will have to be removed on flat-top ARs so it prevents true co-witnessing. However, the front sight does hold true on my son's doublestar with the green dot. It might work with magpuls flip-ups but, I only have steel rotary rear sights. Hope this helps.

Yes it does very well actually I didn't know how to sight it as I've never used any optics other than iron sights and this does not come with instructions by the way. But is very easy to sight in friend of mine works at a gun shop and it onky took 8 rounds and im sighted in at 25 yards with a half inch group worth every penny

my ar is a flattop but i do not think the sightmark will clear your fixed front sight without a modified mount. it is my understanding that most people co-witness the red dot with the front sight.

No....look up the sights for that gun. I have one too. Requires a different sight.

To the best of my knowledge it co-witnesses just like most of the eotechs (aside from the ones with a riser)

I bought this and put it on a short barrel AR with a holographic set up. I have yet to sight it correctly. It just can't withstand the recoil, it shakes it to prices. However, to answer your question yes, it should co witness.

I've had no issue, I checked this against the iron sights before installing a different configuration and it seemed to be spot on.

Yes, the rear sight will line up properly with an A2 front sight post on your set up. Even though I have these sights on a 15-22, I tested the rear sight on my AR15 (M&P15X; - has the fixed A2 front sight post) in order to answer this question.

When mounted on my quad rail, yes it does. It's very cool to have all 3 sighting options available at once.

Yes it does. Will fit very snug and co witness the original sights. I love it.

Yes it does. I have flip up sights in the rear and both the rear and front sights align perfectly in the sight.

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.

No. It sits it very close to co-witness when on 1 power. After u zoom to about 3 power the front iron sight is not visible.

I do not have any front sights on my weapon at this time. But to help i researched the product. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-strikefire-red-dot-ring-extra-high-absolute-co-witnessThe site states absolute, and i think they assume an A2 front sight on most AR-15s. However, i would measure from the base of your rail up to 37mm, then see if it makes a straight line to the tip of the A2 sight? I did'nt shine in geometry class but I think that would be a good double check to make sure. Good luck man! BTW the scope is awesome!

I do not use the rear site. it does co witness just fine. I'm thinking of using an eotech fr my front sites. over all... I'd recommend this site. works for my Kriss.

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

No it does not. Purchased a high rise rail for my rifle because I kept the iron sights on. Fits perfect.

One 30 mm extra-high mount is what I used on the strikefire on my AR-15. This allowed co-witness with the back-up iron sights. One ring is all that is needed but again if used on an AR15 or AR10 platform you need something taller than a low ring.
