Are the front sights of an ar 15 in the way of this scope?

MY sights fold down in front and back. Note they will be useless with the mounts I have unless scope is removed.

No, the front sights will not be a problem for this scope, provided you have the scope mounted properly. I have this scope with the Nikon mounting rings and I have no issues whatsoever with the front sights on an AR15 application.

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.

Yes they are but is one great scope for the price, good luck and a Happy New Year.l Art Z

Hi Victor. That is an excellent question, but I'm not 100% sure. As far as I know, the Troy Rear and Front sights should line up correctly, but I'm not sure about your rail setup. I would take a picture of your AR and send it to Troy, they are very helpful and can tell you if this Rear sight will work or not.

I'm not sure Jack. Not sure how it will line up or how it will co witness, if at all. I wound remove the front sight all together but that is just my preference. My AR came with no sights because I wanted to put my own on.

Yes you can where the rear sights are, there is a rail. The rail is not a normal size rail so you may need some add aprs or different scope rings for it.

Yes, it clears perfectly on an AR15. the front sight is still in the scope view, but so close that it's not visible. The rear iron sight should be folded for proper use. Worked great on my 1" scope

Can't help you my friend. Don't own an AR-15. A solid scope for all the 30 Caliber we own, however.

Yes it will. My AR15 has a mil-spec front sight so I put a 1" riser under my AR as to not have the front sight in my field of view. Amazon carries them also. I hope this helps!

Yes, it will fit your ar15. Its a nice scope, and didn't take to many shots before i had it on target.

No I dont have any problems with my front sight being in the way of the field of vision through the scope

Front sight would be in the field of view unless you mounted this with a riser rail.

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, 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.

You might see the top of the fixed site at the bottom of the lense, but it shoudl be well below the reticle. Change teh sight/gas block assembly and add a collapsible sight. The you will never have to worry about it again. It's not that hard to do.

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.

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.

this Front Sight will only work if you have a Full Leanth Quad Rail on your AR-15 rifle.or if you have a Standard Heighth Picatany Gas Block.but the answer to your Question. any Rear sight will work with this front sight. just as long you put it on the standard Gas block or the quad rail. if you put this sight on the low pro gas block it wont work with any rear sight.

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.
