can you use this with an A2 front sight post . or does the post cover up the reticle?

Hello Dylan: My AR MOD 1 w/ SPR fire dot is mounted 3.5 inches above the bore line for my particular cheek weld to the stock. The M&P; 15 A2 front sight is a small blur at the very bottom of the image at 1.5x and it disappears quickly on the way to 4x. That being said, I am told that with 4x and above there should be no hint of the A2 sight in the scope image for normally mounted scopes at 1.5" to 2 inches above the bore line. ChuckPS...Great scope...

This is a general question that applies to all low magnification scopes on ARs with a front sight tower. Here's the problem. If you mount it up high enough so the front sight tower is not in view, then you have mounted the scope too high to get a decent cheek weld. To use a scope like this, you just need to learn to look past the front sight, or put a different gas block on the barrel.

Due to the fact that it has a 1.5x zoom on the lowest power, the front sight post looks distorted and is distracting when trying to quickly get on target. When dialed above 3x or so the front post disappears, but it is still a nuisance to have on the lower powers (in my opinion).

Yes, If you have a standard A2 flash hider. If you have some other muzzle device it might not fit over it.

I have it on my S&W; m&p; sport with A2 front sight and Mbus 2 folding rear and it lines up perfectly with my Bushnell TRS-25 and the sightmark I used to have on it. It is nice and sturdy. Put it on and tighten it and basically forget about it. I am super happy with it.

The rear is not tall enough to work with fixed A2 front sight. You'll have to mount it on a riser rail, prob 1/2" rise.

I used this to mount a red dot for the same problem that you are describing. The AR I mounted it on has an integrated front iron sight. Like you are describing it interferes but I am not going to be the fool that screws with a iron sight from the SigSauer factory. This rail perfectly raises the sight just above the front sight so that the sight is usable and not a problem. This is definately the way to go. Hopefully I have answered the question let me know if not.

No harm in trying it with the front sight post - if you crank it up to 4x (or slightly less?), you shouldn't see the front sight post. I don't know at what lower power the post will appear (as anything other than a blurb), but I'd think you could adjust it @ 1x etc. (where you'll be using it as a red dot) to rest just over the front sight? Mine currently resides on a 22AR, which happens to be the first AR type rifle I've had without a fixed front sight post. I have an ACOG (4x) and the front sight post doesn't bother me a bit looking through it - the front sight post is almost translucent when looking thru the scope - I'd actually have to look for it in order to know it's there @ 4x.

Your AR will need to have a rail already to mount this. Honestly though the eye relief on it is so short it'll bang you in the eye every time you fire. Also since it lacks a reticle you have to mount it behind a red dot sight of some kind.

The B Square mount itsself does not interfere with the ability to use the iron sights. You cannot use the sights when the scope is mounted. There is no see through. The scope mounting rings actually block the sights,but then I have the scope mounted!

It does not fit perfectly but it does quite well after some sanding. I ended up installing it by myself on my P07 Duty. If you are careeful there won't be even scratches on your sights. There are some on my but I don't care. Working flawless.

his sight has a height of approx. 1.38" to top of post. I say approximaely because this will depend on adjusted height. Use this on a rail or rail height gas block, NOT the normal height gas block. This will work with any flat top with any standard rear sight. There will be a problem using it with an A1 or A2 upper receiver as the post height will be approximately 0.30" that that on a non F-marked sight base. Not a major deal as long as you are aware and can make adjustments.

Not necessarily but you probably won't know until after the install to see how it shoots. I put this one on because the original front sight post was too high and this fixed the problem.

The POI is the exact same as the stock sights using a dot-over-target sight picture. I could see why someone could tend to shoot lower with these sights because they're so darned tall, but that is human error. I need them to see over a suppressor.

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.

Yes if you are talking about the A2 handle on a an AR15 the front site is too close to be seen by the scope. The mount will give you more than enough height from the top of the A2 handle. hope this helps.

I put it on my DPMS 308LR which doesnt have a front post or rear site. I used tall scope rings and it still fits tights to the gun. They dont make bases and rings for this and you may look into this. So your question is not so much the scope as all scopes are about the same size. But as for the scope its very nice and I thought worked great for the money

The front post is adjustable for elevation but I don't know if you can get enough compensation for the difference. The best bet is to take it to the range and start at 25 yards. You may need a taller front sight.

On flat top ARs the green dot sits a little bit above the front sight post but not by much. Not one of the fiber optic sights I have used co-witness with front sights.
