I'm looking for a mount for a Colt LE6920 which has a fixed front sight. Is this mount tall enough to "see over" the front sight?

it should be fine. it's not completely tall enough, but with a scope the worst you might get is a slight blurring of the sight at the bottom of it. most likely you will not see it. I eventually removed the front sight block and but a gas block with a short rail section on, I wanted offset sights so I could tilt the rifle and use iron sights if the shot was to close.

Speaking solely for my scope and many other 1-4 scopes it's not a true 1x therefore the front sight does not show up. If you really focus hard you might see it but it's in the bottom 1/3 of the viewing area on a 30mm bodied scope.

I had no problems whatsoever when mounted on a colt 6920 upper. Even cleared the Matech BUIS but not enough to use it while the scope is mounted.

well also bought the mechanically fixed HiViz sights they work are are helpful. depending on if you have a rail or smooth barrel would decide the type but in either case the rail mount winds up being about 18" apart when targeted with a laser bore sighting tool. Its just slaps on but sighting is another store.

This mount works fantastic. I am running a Strikefire with iron sights and a magnifier. As for it working as a primary optic mount, it would be my first choice.

I had a bolt-on muzzle brake on mine. It clears just like a factory front sight. I noticed no change in the height of the front sight.

It should, I have a fixed ( A2 ) front sight and I have no problem with this mount. I use a nikon prostaff 2x7 with this mount for coyote hunting in VA. Hope this helps.

as long as you have a rail system you should be fine. the sight can definitely handle any recoil if that's what your asking?...yes it will work with a fixed front sight. I have this on the rear of my ar-15 because its just a backup sight with fixed front sights and a red dot that I usually use. hope that helps.

When using this mount on a standard Colt flat top, will a Magpul Back Up Iron Sight fight under the objective lens of a Nikon M223 3-9x40?

The tall mount. I have it on my AR. I went to the website to see the differences between the part numbers.

I have a colt le6940 .223 , the front site doesn't obstruct view looking through the scope

The supplied mounts work well, as long as your gun is listed. I have the front site on a HK P-30L and love it. the supplied bases will raise the center of the red dot above the front site correct height so you would not use the front site unless the DeltaPooint sight failed, and Leupold DeltaPoints just don't fail. I have had mine for 2 + years now and have had no issues. I also have one on a 1911 in 38 Super.

I honestly don't know what to tell you; I have a vertical grip hung off mine that extends beyond the off-set's length, and I haven't had an issue/ I suppose you could buy 2 and mount them next to each other if you're worried about contiguous mounting for the sight.

I don't know of any sight that will co-witness through this mount. It just sits too high on the weapon. Instead, I put a DMP5 red dot sight on my MP5 22. It self mounts to the gun, is reostaticly controlled and co-witnesses perfectly. Price is reasonable also. Hope this helps.

The sight sits kinda high above your rail, so yes, you should be fine. Mine has a flat front gas book and so front sights would not be an issue for me. It may be visible if you have a raised front gas block, but should not obstruct your crosshairs.

It will sit on the top pof the rail so yes more than likely you will see the front sight post in the scope. Really I regret buying this scope. Save up for a better scope. It is poorly made.

It is an excellent mount for the AR-15 Colt. Never heard of anyone having a complaint...excepting one individual had an issue with it staying tight. I doubt anyone else has had the same issue so I wouldn't expect it to be a problem. If it was on a big caliber light-weight magnum, perhaps it would be an issue...but I doubt it.

The actual height above bore not sure, but it worked well with my colt m4 with a fixed front A2 sight. It blurs out the front sight, I didn't notice it hardly at all. That was just me. When you look through any sight you typically look past the end of the barrel anyways.
