Will this work with the A2 front sight
1444413
Yes it will, I have an A2 on my Ar and it works just fine. But I placed mine on the upper recevier it self instead of the quad rail. But other than that it's more of a tactical scope rather than a distance scope. So if your going for distance I'll say don't get it. But if your going for tactical and great looks then yes get it.

Have not put it on yet have vortex on one this zombie looks like it will work ok front sights will not be in the way

Yes, it is co-witness, the center dot will line up with the center aiming mark on the front A2 sight.

I would assume that It would work just fine. I bought both the front and rear sight. I can tell you that they are made very well and are very durable. I have had a lot of sights before but with these sights you can aquire your target even faster.

Unfortunately, it won't. At least it won't be usable. The front sight sits about a sixteenth of an inch below the top of the front sight shroud on mine.

Well like other folk said the big thing is that it has pre-drilled holes, I looked at the pictures on S&W website and it's not very clear. Other pictures show a standard A2 handguard on a stock weapon. So if its the standard A2 style with the holes on top and bottom the answer is yes. However remember to take the handguard off and take it to the hardware store with you to get the correct size of washers. The top-hat bolts that come with the rail won't have enough of a head on them to hold the rail in place with holes as large as the A2 handguards have. My personal suggestion is that with such a universal platform as the AR that you just buy a quad rail handguard, which will be less of a pain in the ass to install than this rail will be to a stock A2. This rain is more for guns that weren't made to have a rail in the first place, that's the beauty of it. But if you really want to go to the trouble of mounting the rails they will work well for what you want to do.

Yes, this sight is the exact same as an A2 front sight, except this is just removable and is not built in to the gas block.

It should, I have a fixed ( A2 ) front sight and I have no problem with this mount. I use a nikon prostaff 2x7 with this mount for coyote hunting in VA. Hope this helps.

depends on who made your A2, most aug mags are the same and will fit most other brands but there are a few that will not work with.

I do not have any front sights on my weapon at this time. But to help i researched the product. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-strikefire-red-dot-ring-extra-high-absolute-co-witnessThe site states absolute, and i think they assume an A2 front sight on most AR-15s. However, i would measure from the base of your rail up to 37mm, then see if it makes a straight line to the tip of the A2 sight? I did'nt shine in geometry class but I think that would be a good double check to make sure. Good luck man! BTW the scope is awesome!

Yes it will, it went right on. BUT ... If you want back up iron sights, this blocks the factory ones. Look at the Ace In The Hole set of sights. They are sights, AND the rail. I have had this 10/22td for 3 weeks. And I have already moved on to the ace sight rail.

Yes, the rear sight will line up properly with an A2 front sight post on your set up. Even though I have these sights on a 15-22, I tested the rear sight on my AR15 (M&P15X; - has the fixed A2 front sight post) in order to answer this question.

No you will need a riser to clear front sight. Possibly a half inch riser will work.

I cannot guarantee that. It depends on your sight height and whether your optic is magnified or not. But, if you are running a 1x red dot and you get the right height riser then it should not be a problem. Find out your optics height your a2 sight height and make sure you buy the correct riser. I do not use a2 sights. I bought the riser solely for the qd function.

As long as your barrel has nothing on the end of it but the small brass bead sight, it will work. But if your specific model has a barrel with a rib running down the top or a tall A-frame type front sight, it will not work.

If you are talking about an A2 style fixed front sight, than YES, you ABSOLUTELY need a riser mount to clear the front sight with this scope. The included quick detach mount is very low profile, and if you mount directly to the receiver rails the front sight post will totally block your view if you have an A2 style front sight. I had to buy a 1 inch riser for it to clear the A2 sight

Yes, it should but you will have to purchase a mount that will replace the rear sight

Don't know. This sight was really hard to put on. You have to pound out the stock front sight.

Does anyone know if I need a 1" or a 1/2" riser to use this on a A2 AR-15 front sight? Thanks
