Is this tall enough to get a 1-4 x 24 to see over the front irons of a Smith and Wesson M&P 15 Sport?

No. However the front irons usually dont affect the sight picture enough to warrant changing your sihht tower. When i used this on my dpms Oracle with the front sight folded in the up position it didn't interfere with sight picture. But it was an 8-32 zoom scope as well, with a 1x setting it may be visible in your field of view.

No. It sits it very close to co-witness when on 1 power. After u zoom to about 3 power the front iron sight is not visible.

No it is not. You can get a riser or you might be able to zoom past it with your scope.

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.

If your looking to put open sights on it won't be on the barrel. Barrel is covered by shroud. The shroud is .75 inches. Hope that helps.

I really do not think your firearm would fit the case in question. I have a model 15 s&w;, .38 special with a 4 inch barrel in the case I have and there is not a lot of space left over.

I use mine with a Mark 2 which is a little over 7 inches. Its a perect fit. Using it for a 4 in. gun would bug me.

Probably not. Unless you put the sight on risers, it'll be in the field of view. I have Diamondhead flip-up sights on my KSG and they are in the middle of the sight when they are up. That is exactly what I wanted (in case the battery is dead, I can still draw a bead), but something you might not like. There are short Picatinny rails that will give you the height necessary to clear your fixed sight.

This riser allows perfect co-witness with a Bushnell TRS-25 Red Dot and iron sights. So depending on what sight you're using then this could be the right one for your M&P; 15 Sport.

It should work...I'm using one with a fixed front sight on a .556, and I've never seen any other height option mentioned for use with the .308 versions.

I would think not. It's a little tiny bit longer than an inch. And the iron sight and the hand grip on that rifle might get in the way. I'm not 100% sure though.

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

You may have noticed that the UTG Medium Profile Riser Mount with 3 slots was listed along with this sight and that mount is generally good to co-witness your AR-15 iron sights. I have had to also use the Low Profile version on some guns but Medium should be fine.

This is high enough to co-witness. IMO you wouldn't want a scope to be high enough to completely look over the front sight that wouldn't offer a good check weld or shooting position. Your crosshairs will be looking through the front sight post. If you are using 3x and up magnification you most likely will not see the front sight A2 post. If that is a problem change out the A2 for a gas block with folding front sight.

Not likely if your objective lens is any larger than a straight tube. Look at it closely. And even with no scope in the mount at all the mount's stand-off from the receiver will probably interfere with a good sight picture with your iron sights. All this being said, this is a rock solid mount when installed properly. I'll sell you my Leupold see-thru's cheap. They are beautiful but your Silent Cat will make them move- and useless.

My M&P; 15/22 with nikon p223 fits nicely with about 1"to spare on height about 3"on length.

Yes..this front sight is mounted on my gas block, and together equals the same height as a standard m-4 front sight. NOTE: The rail on my gas block is lower than the rail on the receiver, that is why I needed this standard front sight. {they do make a short front sight for full length rails} hope this helps. joe

I personally have a Vortex 6x24 50mm with very low profile mounts and I can use my irons decently, but it helps if you pull off the scope covers unless you have very thin/low profile covers.

It depends on the size of your scope. I have a burris fullfield II (4-12x40) on my AR-15 and I had to get extra high rings to mount my scope to be able to clear my rear mag-pul flip-up sight(when in the down position).Probably wouldn't hurt to do a mock-up with small pieces of wood with your scope on top and then measure the minimum height you need and then research. Hope this helps. I'm considering going to a red dot in the rear with a night vision flip away mounted in the front.
