Would this sight be the correct height if mounted on the gas block ahead of the hand guard on my DPMS Oracle?

Seems to work for me and it should for you .If your gas block is not rail height.

as log as the gas block rail ad the upper rail are in the same plane it should work

I found my shots consistently about 2 inches high on its lowest setting at 150 yards. Depends on your gas block. If it's even with where your top handgaurd rail would be, then no. If it's lower, maybe.

One other note. I have a Bushmaster Patrolman with stock hand guard. The hand guard is slightly higher than the rail. The spacing I wanted required an aftermarket guard. I'm talking horizontal spacing.

I'm not sure there is enough information to answer question because it will depend on the height of the rear sight and its rail. This is a short front sight. It would work if mounted on a high gas block rail with a high rear sight. I'm using it on a flat top with a free floating 10" handguard and a detachable carry handle, where I have a flat rail from the bolt actuator handle to the front of the handguard. If the gas block is lower than the rail over the upper receiver, this front sight will probably be too low, causing the strike to be too high.

If you have a rail for it it should work fine. DPMS AR15 comes with a standard rounded hand guard without a rail I think.

Yes .. It has worked great on my DPMS wit 6.8 SPC upper circular hand guard. Came back from for hole 2 holes and epoxied in place the platform. Have fired 800 rds without and sign of shifting.

the question is strangely worded. The sight is meant to fit on top of a gas block that is at the sane height as the rail on the upper receiver.

It's hard to say as I have a red dot on there now. I just looked from the barrel back towards the stock and then rail looks higher than the sight. It may block it.

Doesn't answer your question, but should others be wondering, it fits a DPMS Oracle which has a lower gas block (a step lower than the upper picatinny rail).

yes it will fit if you have a rail on the free float handguard - you will have to match the height of the other sight

It depends on the hight of the gas block. There are different size sights based on the hight of your gas block.

yes, it will fit on the gas block but to make sure its even with the gas block, you will have to measure the height from the gas block to the top of the rail to make sure. hope that helps some

Depends on the height of the mount. This is roughly the same height as a standard gas block front sight

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.

I would think it will work, the rail is the same. If it sits higher on the gas block you may have to shorten the sight pin if you are sighting in for longer ranges. I use a UTC red dot for close range and have my iron sights set for 100 yards.

Yes. You would have to purchase a low rise mount on here but it wouldn't be expensive.I honestly don't see you needing to change it! When you use the proper stance and have the correct cheek weld it should be perfect, this is a standard red dot height. Don't bend your neck and bring your eye to the sight, bring the gun and sight to your eye!

I run it with a T-1 on one rifle and with a Larue SPR mount with a leupold mk ar mod1, with no issues, don't know the height, slightly, slightly higher than My magpul pro sights

No, This is is purposely taller to work for the lower gas blocks. If your gas block is level with the top rail, then you need the one that is not gas block height. This same manufacturer makes both. You do need metal sights for the gas block since plastic ones will melt. And these are metal, So just get the standard height sight. You will be ready to shoot.
