On an AR 15 will a scope in the medium rings clear a flip up magpul mbus sight? (when the mbus is not flipped up)

I've got these on a Savage bolt-action so I couldn't say, but I did have a similiar set-up as what you're talking about on a Ruger that I own and it was a bear finding the right mount. I ultimately had to just search around for a cantilevered single piece mounting system that put the scope forward of the flip-up. It wasn't ideal. I'm going to say that these may be limited to do what you want. Perhaps look at the Nikon one-pieces (or any maker you like) that give you some ability to get the scope forward of the flip-up. Then you get into eye relief issues I know. Seems like a business opportunity for someone because you ain't the only one to encounter this issues. Good luck.

No it won't. You need the extra high rings. They make them in steel and aluminum.

No, it will not. It is too low to accommodate a flip up a magpul MBUS under the scope. Hope this helps.

It is semi difficult to explain without a photo, but it does return to relatively the same position each time, there is a "v" knotch in the base that a pin set in when you flip it up or down. There is very little wiggle with one mount holding my magnifier. I would assume that if you used two of these for a typical scope it would work nicely. I even read a review that a guy did use two of them for a scope on his AR with success. I've been wanting to try it, hence why I bought two, I just do not have an extra scope laying around.

Yes. Most of the flip up rear sights clear the magnifier. I went with a Troy Battle Sight.

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

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.

I am using a Magpul rear flip up sight and it performs as advertised. Your problem sounds like a defect in manufacturing or it is not a genuine Magpul product. In any case, return it for a replacement.

It can go on ether way. I like the sight to folds down toward the stock. also I have found out that the nut will work it's self loose after a few shots and fall off the rifle. I had to put a drop of lock tight on the threads. I would use the Medium lock tight not the Max hold lock tight. or if you don't plan to take the front sight off for some time. then use the Max hold. I tried the Magpull Gen 2 flip up sights. I got rid of those and went with these utg flip ups. I should have bought the utg's first they are cheaper and better then the Magpull sights. I hope this helps. if you need any more info on any AR-15 or AK -47 parts just let me know. It can go on ether way.

Yes. It is not magnified so you can look straight through the optic and use iron sights in the even of battery failure. Flip up sights are recommended so they do not obstruct normal use of the Micro Sight.

Mine actually cleared it. Doesn't interfere at all, but you could always change to a low profile gas block. I also mounted some flip up a angled sights which work perfectly.

I think there would be room on the rail for both but you would not be able to have the mbus up until u took off the scope mount. I hope this helps.

I was intending to mount both a Magpul Mbus and a scope on my AR and it seemed that from the description the rings would allow my scope to clear a folded down MBUS. I didn't take the diameter of my scope into account, and it ended up not clearing the back up iron sight. Other than that, they seemed quite nice.

I have a flatop 9mm AR with the this tru glo red dot sight mounted forward on the rail, with the flip up rear magpul sight to the rear of the rail and with the magpul up, it actually co-witnesses with each other, flipped down it's totally out of the way of the tru glo sight!

As long as the flip sights are in the down position, you won't have any viewing obstruction from the font sight and it should just barely clear the height of the rear sight when your scope is positioned over it.

It depends on the gun. However on my AR it did NOT clear the front sight post. I moved it to my AR 10 without the fixed sight post. I will also like to add that it is a very good product and highly recommend it.

I have the Magpul front sight on mine, is it the same height as magpuls? also, if if you mean clear the front sight with a scope, not co-witness, I would say no, it does co witness perfectly though.

yes this sight will work with flip up. it is a good sight i wish the adjustment knob was a little smaller for me. i have it on my stag rifle and it is working great.

If you are mounting this front flip up sight on a (flat top weaver rail) it will be perfect for a rear sight such as a (carry handle rear sight). It measures 1-1/2" from the top of the weaver rail to the very top of the overall sight, wich is above the sight post that you will use for sighting in your weapon. I have this flip up sight on my flat top(ar15) and it works great. I have a carry handle rear sight, and a flip up (low profile) front utg sight. IF you are getting this sight to flip down so you can use optics you'll be fine. Be careful because... utg also makes a flip up sight that is not a (LOW). It all depends on the rear sight. Good luck!
