Is it possible to use a Magpul flip up sight and see through this?

No, if you have a flattop AR there is not enough clearance to view through the see through riser. I have a flat top AR with fill up front and rear sight. I'm looking at getting the 45 degree offset front and rear sights. this will allow me to the scope on the rail and use the 45 degree iron sights. I hope this helps. There is just not enough clearance on this 1 inch riser and use 90 degree flip up front and rear sights.

Yes you can but the hole you look through is smaller and a little harder to see front sight

With a magnified optic, the front sight fades out. but it does not put the optic over the top of a fixed front sight. it does clear folding rear sights like the magpul Mbus

With a brass punch or delrin tipped steel punch I would think so. It may be a little to light. I might look into getting a sight pusher for sight adjustments or adding/removing.

With this riser I can still see the front sight in my optics, but it is below the red dot by a bit, so it may not be high enough for you to use the flip up sight too. Hope that helps....

Lucid has its own magnifier, you can attach/screw it on the back site(you might know this already).Magnifier should work on any optics flip-to-side or not, the biggest concern is...if it's going to be on the same level as optics (this, I do not know).I'm sorry, not much of the help, just a thought. If you get Lucid optics make sure you tight up your cover for battery compartment.

No... You will not be able to see through the bottom of the mount and use the sights as well as the scope. It is very quick to detatch and use irons as needed.

You should be able to! Mine is super bright. Contact both Amazon, and the actual vendor.Mine is brighter than the factory glock sights had been.

The one i got did not come with a mount. However it will work with flip up sights. You just need to order either absolute or lower 1/3rd co-witness mounts

In theory, yes. Keep the front visor down with the pinhole opening and you could use it. That said, that is not what it is designed for and I wouldn't. I have a dedicated 5.56 upper for my AR that when I need mounted, ready night optics I just swap uppers and I'm good to go. You can build an upper for four hundred bucks and use iron sights for daytime use, much better option in my opinion.

I suppose you could but you'd have to practice and adjust your sight picture to compensate for the elevation of the rail. I was given a couple of red dot sights to use but you can buy them cheap on Amazon...around $20.

No it can't. The Magnifier only flips to the right. In order to flip it the other way it would have to be installed backwards in which case it wouldn't work. You may want to call EOTech, they may have a solution or a different model.

Not sure I have free float rail with flip up sights mounted on a 45 degree angle.

No, but you can get a nice flip mount for 26 bucks. http://www.amazon.com/Ade-Advanced-Optics%C2%AE-Tactical-Magnifier/dp/B00E3FU8NW/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1386200833&sr=8-11&keywords=magnifier+flip+mount

My scope (nikon 4-12x40 BDC) sits high enough using the SPR for the magpul folding rear sight to be folded under it (no way or reason to flip it up with the scope mounted). I typically mount the scope before I go to the range and take it off (love the thumbnuts) when I leave, and rely on the flip-ups for home defense. The front of my 40mm scope sits just above the magpul rail covers (ladders), maybe 1/4" gap. I also have a IWC QD mount on my top rail just in front of the cantilever portion of the mount.

As long as the flip sights are in the down position, you won't have any viewing obstruction from the font sight and it should just barely clear the height of the rear sight when your scope is positioned over it.

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.
