my scope view is being blocked by my standard m4 front sight post. will i be able to see above it using this? plus is it heavy?

Should be high enough with this riser. It put my scope up enough to see over my AR15 front sight. It is strong but lite and easy to put on and off.

It is not heavy, and it sits quite high on my stag arms ar. As for the m4 front sight Not positive on that one.

It worked fine on mine sites, are seen with no problem and it only weighs a couple of ounces.

It did move my sight picture above the front sight for my red dot, yes. It doesn't seem to add enormous weight IMO.

It depends on the size of your optic. The bottom of the mounting area of my scope is about an inch off the top of the rail, center is about 1.5 inches. The important part is the width of your lenses/lens housing and if you have a folding rear iron sight on your rifle (if it is an AR or other tactical type rifle). I have an A2 fixed front sight and although by looking at it, it would seem it should obstruct view through the scope, I cannot see a trace of it regardless of magnification.

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

I own a Colt M4 carbine and I have the M2 front sight. It's factory and I don't want to mess with it. I have a Trijicon and a Bushnell sight, and ordered the UTG-1" adapter rail because the front sight was too high and the ACOG sight was not working. The 1" seems to do the trick for both sights, but I have not been to the range yet. That will tell the story, but I'm sure the problem was solved with the adapter.

it should be fine. it's not completely tall enough, but with a scope the worst you might get is a slight blurring of the sight at the bottom of it. most likely you will not see it. I eventually removed the front sight block and but a gas block with a short rail section on, I wanted offset sights so I could tilt the rifle and use iron sights if the shot was to close.

i had NO issues, i have a scope on mine, and i can still see my iron sights...but if you want to cut it up.... its yours!!!!!!!

I don't have a variety at hand to doublecheck for you, but I'd like to make it clear that you can't "cowitness" the SeeAll with irons in the conventional sense. You can't see the front sight through it. Combined with the fact that its nigh indestructible and unpowered, it's more of an iron-sight replacement, in the same way a high power scope replaces all iron sights on most precision rifles. That said, the Amazon image looks to be about the right height, and (eyeballing it) I'd say that's a half inch riser. I highly suggest placing it as you would an Aimpoint red dot, and ditching your iron sights. Another compromise would be removing your front sight and keeping a rear sight, using the triangle of the SeeAll as a front sight.

You would need see-through scope mounts. I have a red-hot on my 10-22 have I can't use the iron sights. No scope, no problem

It's hard to say as I have a red dot on there now. I just looked from the barrel back towards the stock and then rail looks higher than the sight. It may block it.

I don't think so. The 4x magnification will make the front sight post nearly invisible. Co Witness best achieved with an Eotech or similar type of red dot optic with no magnification.

By raising the scope you can use a lower power scope, which will allow you to use at short range and still be able to have your iron sights as backup. I would talk to others and maybe take a look at their comments.

Are you referring to an AK dust cover? You would not be able to use any iron sights through the scope lens, as it would be very very blurry (there is no 1x power at which all things are in focus). It sounds to me like you would need extra-tall see-through scope rings, or an elevated see-through mount. (Even though I use an elevated see-through mount, it's pretty much pointless to try to use the iron sights (there's just not enough view).

I used this item on a Marlin Model 60 22 caliber rifle and I can no longer use my sights unless I remove the scope mount, I hope I was able to help with my response.

if not you can put 1" riser blocks under Neath the see thru mounts that is the way I did it on my smith & Wesson p22 I have the laser under Neath my barrel and a big scope on top and can see my iron sights with no problem so if it don't work just with the scope mounts you can but 1" riser monts form Amazon and I know that worked for me

It sits pretty high on the rail so co-witnessing will be a problem unless you have aftermarket sights possibly using a riser to bump them a little higher. I'm pretty sure that it won't co-witness with any stock sights on a firearm.

Yes, it is and it's been well worth it. I don't know your firearm or the setup that you feel you're going to get but I could help you out with this issue. I shoot almost ALL see throughs with my scopes. I had an issue way back when, when my scope got hit on a set of low mounts; i.e. non see throughs. I was out of the fight until I got another rifle ........ lesson learned! Wayne

It all depends on how you mount the scope. Co-witnessing will work but at higher mangnifications the front sight post will be blurred like any magnified scope.
