Will this scope mount clear my fixed iron sights?

no, it won't. However, my clone was built without a rear sight and i removed the front sight and replaced it with a low-profile gas block in order to use a longer forearm rail system. didn't need the iron sights as this scope has them built in above the optics. zoom in on the pic and you can see them. these sights are way better, in my opinion, to the iron sights that are usually found on ar's.

No. But don't be discouraged. I got a carry handle/scope mount combo for about $20. This scope is amazing for the money. Without the carry handle/scope mount combo, the scope sits way to low any way. With or without the fixed iron sights.

It really depends on the height of your rear sight when folded down. In order to clear you would have to have a low profile rear sight to clear your scope

I have a magpul flip up rear sight, I have 1/2 inch risers so the scope will clear it when in the down position.

I don't believe it puts it lower. It allows complete co witness of iron sights through scope

These rings elevate your scope about 1/2 inch from top of rail. Don't think u can use iron sights. May have to use 45 degree off set sights.

There are two pins on the iron sights, you will need to pound those out and mount it on top the existing iron sights.

It will not. The front sight, even though directly in front, will be invisible through the scope... strange, but true.

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

If your AK has a flat rail, your iron sights are attached to the flat rail (magpuls in my case) and mounted to a Vortex than yes it will.

On mine it was, I took it off, but if you remount it at the same place it's OK. If you want iron sights again.

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

Yes it will...but you may have to use a riser mount so that the sight of the scope is higher than your front sight.Also, you could remove your front sight altogether but (you would lose your ability to use iron sights then)

Depending on the mount you choose, and what iron sights you are using, then yes, it will co-witness...

Yes, they will and remember you will need a removal tool. MGW 317 sight tool or a sightpusher.com. Take your time, hard at first ,front site is hardest.

You could use a set of see through rings which mount the scope high with a passage underneath so you can see the sights. Or a quick detach mount or qd rings insread to remove the scope quickly so you can use the iron sights.

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, but it doesn't matter, your scope will not focus on the front sight. It is hard to understand, but it is not an issue. This is my favorite scope mount. I have 5.
