I use an A4 carry handle with a Tapco adapter and it works great so I can switch between the red dot and the iron sights. The actual sight itself is not high enough to clear standard front iron sights.

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

Although I did not use on an AR, I use a 3/4" riser on the scopes I do use.

Whenever I used this optic, which I don't anymore, my AR didn't have a front sight post. It was a slick top. However, this optic doesn't sit very high up but I don't think you would need a riser. Just be aware that you're gonna get what you pay for in this optic. I have since switched to the Lucid HD7 which is a much better optic. IMO. Hope this helped!!!

The way I see it,if you have a Picatinny rail I don't see a problem. The riser is high enough to clear a 50mm bell and buis sights

no need for a riser, youll see the front sight but its no distracting, the eye relief is on the short side, youll have to mounted all the way back on the rail.

From the top of the rail to the top of the sight, in the flipped up position, is 1.5 inches. Though I haven't done it myself, I wouldn't be surprised if some shooters use a riser under them.

Don't know for sure. I bought both front and rear popup sights to mate with my Flat top upper and the"raised" gas block (to match the pop up rear sight on my new flat top upper). They aligned perfectly! I'm doing to do an upgrade soon to replace my Olympic A2 upper with a Flattop upper and although I've got a rear & front flip up set (I got FS & RS from Amazone for $22/ W free shipping. I think they're greart.) decide to keep my stock fixed mil spec FS. We'll see which option works better. question me in a month or so (Wish I couild jump on the "fun" stuff vs. 'day to day crap' right now, but can't.) I'll find out if the std Fixed FS aligns with the flattop popup RS W/I a few weeks. Remind me! Don't know for sure.

I found the A2 replica front post sight to be very close to the M16 upper receiver A2 sight post which is a fixed post. What make this sight nice is that it is removable. However, I have a 1 x 4 power scope mounted on a 1 inch riser. I leave the front A2 mil spec attached for looks, it does not affect my scopes sight picture. I also have a carrying handle with integrated manual backup mil spec peeps, just in case my scope loses it's zero. With just a few twist of the binding posts' and a swap out, I am back in action!

I have a front sight on mine also and didn't have to add any risers. I mounted and started shooting right away with no front sight in the way

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.

You don't need one. I have a flat top AR with standard front sight and I put this site on and had no issues at all.

No, you will need a riser. I bought the NcStar AR15 Weaver 3/4-Inch Riser (MARF) from Amazon for $11.99. Works great.

It will probably be too tall. I love the riser though. I needed to get my scope off the upper rail just high enough to be able to put the scope protective caps on. Works like a champ and brings it up to eye level for me. Maybe consider ditching the iron sights you have now and switch to magpuls offset sights. Little pricy but that's what I did. Hope this helps good luck.

to be right on a flat top AR you need a 1/2 inch riser 8 slot. Keep it right in front of your BUIS. Get it close to your eye. The small dot is wicked! Best red dot for the money! Youll be amazed

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

The height of the sight from the top of the rail/gas block is 1 9/16". This low profile sight is great if your gas block (mine) or front rail is the same height as your upper receiver. If your gas block is lower then you need the normal height sight. I hope this was helpful.

You'll only need the rail and the sight. You don't need the riser for a 10/22. The riser is for an AR15

This riser will work on any standard rail on an AR15. The question is what is the height of the device that you're going to mount on it. It matched to a Bushnell TRS25 on an S&W; VTAC-2 perfectly.

No, if you have a flattop AR there is not enough clearance to view through the see through riser. I have a flat top AR with fill up front and rear sight. I'm looking at getting the 45 degree offset front and rear sights. this will allow me to the scope on the rail and use the 45 degree iron sights. I hope this helps. There is just not enough clearance on this 1 inch riser and use 90 degree flip up front and rear sights.
