will this interfere with iron sight systems?

No, you can use the mounts supplied to use a co-witness set up. The one drawl back is the sight is small and may limit your vision through the optic to see your sights. Either way you can still use the irons through thr optic.

It depends on the rifle and rail system. It did not on mine because I usually use MAGPUL fold down sights that stay out of the way.

With red dots, reflex sights etc the iron sights are co-witnessed. You will still be able to look down irons...make sure to use the correct riser, it comes with a low, mid, and high riser. The SPARC is a great sight, I've ran a few on ars and shotguns. Lemme know if you need anything, will be happy to help

With your rear sight mounted in a forward position it could effect your sight picture alignment. But with continued practice and get comfortable with the location I don't think it would be a problem. Hope this helps.

Yes, it can. However, you have to forego the top rail. If you are going to continue to use the iron sights, then you will be able to use stripper clips. However, if you use the top rail on this stock set or if you drill and tap your receiver for a scope, you'll be unable to use stripper clips.

Depends on the gun your putting it on.I put it on my kids 10/22 so I used see through rings so that they could use the Iron sights. They were the recommendation base for the rifle I was installing it on.

I've had no issue, I checked this against the iron sights before installing a different configuration and it seemed to be spot on.

If you are referring to the front sight "co-witnessing" through the reticle in your scope, I can't say for certain since my recent build has "NO" iron sights, just a scope. I know this mount is specifically designed for the AR platform to allow what you are talking about. Sorry I couldn't be more help

Yes, but I suggest that you will need to buy an accessory to raise the scope so that you can use the "iron" sights as well!

The sight will 1/3 co-witness with the irons depending on what sights you are using. I am currently using gen 2 magpul Mbps sights. The emitter in the sight is located at 5 o'clock and partially blocks the front sight so that you can see the FS post and the left blade. Personally I would buy the sight w/o the hi rise block and invest in a better mount. Daniel Defense makes a absolute co-witness riser that runs around $60 on amazon. Good luck

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.

Yes, you can use your Iron sights. No problem here. I love the mount, rock solid! "When you follow the instructions and it's mounted properly."

This type of mount requires you to remove the scope/red dot to use iron sights. You don't have to remove the rail though, which is due to the sighting slot cut down the center of the rail. They are called see through because normal picatinny rails don't have this slot.

I used this to mount a red dot for the same problem that you are describing. The AR I mounted it on has an integrated front iron sight. Like you are describing it interferes but I am not going to be the fool that screws with a iron sight from the SigSauer factory. This rail perfectly raises the sight just above the front sight so that the sight is usable and not a problem. This is definately the way to go. Hopefully I have answered the question let me know if not.

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

I mounted one to my 1911. No problems. True they are hard to see outside on a sunny day, but I'd prefer my iron sights then anyway. Green dots work better in the sun, but they are more expensive.

No. Magnified optics will not co-witness. Go with a red dot or quick release scope mount if you want to use iron back up sights.

Are you referring to an AK dust cover? You would not be able to use any iron sights through the scope lens, as it would be very very blurry (there is no 1x power at which all things are in focus). It sounds to me like you would need extra-tall see-through scope rings, or an elevated see-through mount. (Even though I use an elevated see-through mount, it's pretty much pointless to try to use the iron sights (there's just not enough view).

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