Mine is mounted on a DPMS Sportical. It has a short rail fwd of handguard. From pictures I see, handguard would be too high. Hope this helps.

@jjnew It is too tall, and that ticked me off too. Instead of returning it I chose to get a 1" riser for my rear sight aperture to accommodate for idiodic sizing. Hope this helps.

I ended up putting an optic on my AR15 that has the red dot and the green dot for targeting.

Its designed for lower profile gas blocks. It will stand too tall on a rail height block.

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 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

The tall mount. I have it on my AR. I went to the website to see the differences between the part numbers.

I have a DPMS Oracle. The front and rear picatinny rails are different heights. I had to buy a .750 raised gas block from Amazon to make it works. They will work if you do this and bring the front sight up to same level as the rear. Ivan N.

To be on the safe side, I'd go with at least the 3/4" inch since this fits fairly low to the receiver. I have the same rear sight and doubt this will fit over it.

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!

Although I do remember my stock rail fitting, I'm currently using the UTG .22 Tactical Low Profile Rail Mount (#22). Got it here on Amazon also. Prefect match.

The rear of the sight is dead even with the rear of my std. MP 40 so if it is closer i would think it would overhang by however much it is closer. Does also work really well on the wifes sd9 so not sure

It is a little high. It's made to line up with AR sights ( Eotec , etc ) It's even a little to high for my Sightmark

The quickmount is 2 inches long. The total space you need is dependent upon what you are mounting it behind. I have mine mounted behind a sightmark reflex sight and need 3 inches of rail to get it done.

It depends is your rail slotted? Because you have two tightning screws that will interfere with your flat rail. Also have you attached anyother tactical mounts?

You're right. It's designed for a low profile gas block sight. I mounted mine on a UTG quad rail gas block and it's perfect height.

Vernon...the mounts extend quite a bit further than the rail itself. So "measure twice" and "install once"/LOL

The "extended part" usually is over the handguard. If your handguard has a rail on top that is level with the receiver, I really doubt there would be enough room - but it would depend on the thickness of the mount.

I had to use a half inch riser, and I mounted my flip up rear sight to co witness with my 30mm dot sight. It does screw up the iron sights when the rear sight is raised that half an inch.

It will fit, but it it is not a good option. I ended up purchasing a pictany rail made for mine. I had to remove the rear sight, but I am very happy now. I purchased several different brands of this type with unsatisfactory results. It is difficult to get the adapter to seat and not move.
