Will this work with any flip up front sights? Or do I need the KAC Front Sight as well?

It will work with any "standard height" front sight base or standard height folding sights (i.e. Magpul MBUS, Troy, YHM).

I should work with all flip up and fixed. I have one mounted and have a fixed standard front setup and it seems to work fine for me.

This is a standard height so as long as you don't buy a low profile or gas block height and mount it on the rail you should be fine
1971221
It will work with any mil-spec height front sight. I don't remember the height, but ar15.com will.

Yes, I guess it ultimately depends on the sights and the model though really. I have a Ruger SR-556, with the stock flip up sights and the visibility actually works pretty well looking through this Eotech, approximately 2/5 of the way up the glass maybe? Not right in the middle, which would be perfect, but plenty usable without having to remove the system. I had to move the sights back and forth a little to make everything fit the way I wanted but it looks good.

You can keep the front sight, but not the rear, which is attached to the original Pic rail. You need to get an aftermarket rear sight, which may or may not work with the dovetail front sight. I pulled mine and got flip-up front and rear sights.

It should work. These sights are almost the same height as a magpul MBUS rear sight and they will work with a fixed front post.

It all depends on how your sights fit into your slide. I know that not all front sights attach in the same way. I would call Truglo, or maybe email their customer support, unless another user has them. That would give you a definite answer.

Flip your rifle over. If the two lay flat then no. If they are flat you can use any standard hight front sight. This sight is for the lower gas block. Roughly 1/4 inch lower than the upper rail.

NO. it is for an uneven gas block. This MI front iron sight comes in two models. One is for gas block height and the other is for upper receiver height. If your gas block is the same height as your upper receiver this one will not work, it will be too high. check out midwest industries web site and you will see the difference. The one you will need is #MI-LFFR Low Profile Flip Front Sight, locking For use with railed hand guards or gas blocks the same height as upper receiver. When folded, super low profile is only .437" off top of rail. Or any other one as long as it does NOT say for gas block height.

Yes it should work just fine. My front site is a permanently mounted AR site and this site works well as long as your flip front site isn't any higher than the standard front site mount on the AR

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.

The sight should work perfectly with the A2 front sight. I have the same setup.

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

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.

They work on most normal rifles to get you over the front sight. I ordered a set to use with my top rail riser to get over my AK 47 front sight which sets much higher.

I have this combo on my KSG and it works great. I don't use an EOTech, however, so I can't answer the question about cowitness. I use a Primary Arms micro dot with a quick release mount and get a 1/3 cowitness. By the way, I started out with a set of MBUS on my KSG and they didn't work. The sights don't lock in position and the recoil kept collapsing the rear sight. So if you don't go for these sights, make sure whatever you get locks in place or has a very positive engagement when in the up position.

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!

For the front sight you will need a front sight tool, and that is something you will have to buy. As for the rear, i had to flip it over with a screwdriver.

Do you mean A-15 or AR-15? If you mean AR-15, it should work with any DPMS AR-15 that does not have a carry handle or front sight that goes along with it. The UTG Flip up Front Sight goes with the USG Flip up Rear Sight and lines up because the front sight is designed to sit atop a lowered Gas Block. It is also made of aluminum so it won't melt when the gas block gets hot. Whatever you use, make sure its not made out of plastic.
