How high is the rise of the top edge of the weaver rail above the barrel. I'd like to extend a front sight out on a barrel.

It shouldn't be a problem as the metal is only about 1/13 th of an inch thick and sit flush with the barrel.

Looks like 1/2 inch from outside of barrel. I use mine for a bipod which makes the rail below the barrel

I mounted this and a Millet 5 mil. Red dot scope to the top of a ar-15, when finished sighting in the dot was just slightly over the fixed front sight. Hope the info helps.

Yep that's what I have it on. F mark is the standard front sight. This will be the right height.

I had a bolt-on muzzle brake on mine. It clears just like a factory front sight. I noticed no change in the height of the front sight.

I assume you have decided you really need a riser and cannot make do with high or extra-high scope rings. Make sure the length of the riser is a good match with the length of the rail on the AR7. Both should be the same length or the riser slightly shorter than the rail of the gun. If you need closer eye relief for an optic, just adding this riser won't help and you should consider buying an offset riser having a cantilevered extension on one end. Since the 1913 Picatinny rail is a military standard design, all such rails will fit together if the lengths are compatible.

The sight is about 2.25 inches tall. The reticle is easily adjustable and about 1.5 inches from base. Your one inch high rise scopes will most likely not let you see under your scope. If you have not purchased a scope yet, I recommend one with RIS on the top of the scope if you want a hybrid-setup (Scope and Red Dot Sight).

I had to have mine removed. It will work with a riser but I didn't like how high up the scope sat.

should co witnness with front site post, if not then add riser. have to check to be sure, works on my s&w ar 15

It requires a riser. Tge rings that ship with the scope do not allow the front objective to clear the rail or barrel.

I'm not real familiar with the various rails. I don't think it will fit on top of a Weaver rail, however. The rings fit directly on the bare grooved barrel of my .22 BAR.

Fully extended from hard surface (ground) to top of rail mounting surface (on bipod) is a little over 8". I guess the next question is how far down does the installed magazine extend, which falls to you to find out.

This is for a real AR yes. The folded height from the top of a ladder on the rail is just shy of 3/4 inch. It is bulky as some have said but so are almost all sights. A small riser for your scope would work if you want that route or the 45 angle sights could be an option. A low profile gas block might also work. These particular sights do not meet your original questions specs however.

Yes. The riser is just that a riser. You still obviously need a method to attach the scope to the riser. I used a 3/4 riser and medium height Weaver rings. How high you want your scope is something you'll have to decide. Hope this helps.

No. You do not have enough run out on the front sight, front & rear have to be very close to level,at differnt ranges this hight will realy come to bare.

I have on of these and it will not fit. Yes, it will fit the weaver rail at the base of the barrel-- however the rail as designed fits up to the trigger guard. This means you'll have only one point to tighten the sight in with out any room for only point. In other words it's a no-go.

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.

It will probably be too tall. I love the riser though. I needed to get my scope off the upper rail just high enough to be able to put the scope protective caps on. Works like a champ and brings it up to eye level for me. Maybe consider ditching the iron sights you have now and switch to magpuls offset sights. Little pricy but that's what I did. Hope this helps good luck.
