Is this Front Sight designed for a Railed Gas Block where the block rail and the receiver rail are on the same plane?

No, not if they are on the same plane. I think you would want the smaller style, something like magpul offers.

If you have a leveled gas block go with magpul flip up sights you won't regret it

If you have a Gas block on the same plane as your receiver rail, this sight will not work. Its for a gas block that sits lower than your receiver rail.

As long as your gas block and upper receiver are on the same plane. If your gas block is a quarter inch lower you will need the sights specific for a lower gas block

Absolutely. That's what I'm running right now. I have a railed gas block and the original and gen2 Mbus sights are not compatible as they are primarily polymer and will eventually melt on the railed block. The Pro series is all metal and is safe for use on the railed block. The gen2 Mbus rear I have lines up perfectly and saved me a good deal of money over buying the Pro rear. Note however that the Pro series are not "pop up" sights and must be flipped up manually. I'm currently running the gen2 mbus rear, the pro front, and both are co-witnessed with my Vortex Sparc II red dot. Very happy with the set up. Absolutely. That's what I'm running right now.

Magpul doesn't recommend it. When I do mount a front sight to a gas block I use Midwest industries. They have a gas block height specific sight.

I don't have the answer to that, but this sight is meant to sit on a low profile gas block with a pica tinny rail.

yes...I have a DPMS as well, and that is why I got these. I am assuming that the gas block is also lower that the handguard and/or standard rail. These are very functional and work well with optics installed, quite decent.

Mine did. My gas block was lower than my rail, so obviously I had to order the taller version.

Yes. A flat top receiver is a little higher (thicker on the deck) so a taller f marked sight is appropriate. The rear sight is correct for this set up.

You should be able to keep and use the front sight. The Samson rail tucks in under the lip of the gas block.

It does, but you will need to lower the post as low as possible before sighting in. Works best with offset gas block rail

They are on the same plane. I had to get a raised gas block for the front sight to make them work correctly.

I placed it on a same plane quad rail with a matching rear sight it works perfectly as long as your front hangaurd is stable, I used it on a free float yhm 10 inch quad maintained zero on my 300 blackout so I would say for the money your good to go

It seems to depend on who answers the question. The sights I received are on the same plane and the front sight does not work with a low profile gas block. It seems that the order fulfillment companies are sending out each type randomly.

Works great on my S&W; M&P; 15 w/ same plane gas block. dont know exact height but I paired it with UTG Model 4/16 Complete Match-grade Rear Sightand it seems to be a great match. As stated in one of the comments on posting for this sight, rear sight is significantly to the left side when sighting in, not sure why but thats how it is. and the post needs to be pretty far down into the front sight to get the correct position. Love this setup!

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 should work if you have the rail sustem to mount it just adjust your front site post. Buy the tool to adjust it. Its like 5 dollars and get a bore sight, thats like10 dollars. And your be on paper. Just have to tweek it to.your eye

You are correct, the A3 Upper is higher than the gas block. I had to purchase a riser for the front gas block to 'level' the sights. However, I still recommend the sights, just know that you need the spacer.
