I want to be able to co-witness with iron sights on an AR....will a riser be necessary?

I'm not sure. You may be able to use iron sites viewing right through the glass on the scope. I put a regular crosshair scope on an AR and had to use a riser but that's a totally different animal. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have these sights with a red dot with a 1 inch riser and they work "ok" I wouldnt rely on them being perfect but it's one of those things, "you get what you pay for" if I were to do it again I'd find a better quality iron sight. remember these are for lowered gas blocks I have a DPMS Oracle. FYI Panther is the manufacturer you should include the model so we know what you're working with, good luck!

This riser allows perfect co-witness with a Bushnell TRS-25 Red Dot and iron sights. So depending on what sight you're using then this could be the right one for your M&P; 15 Sport.

Yes, one(1) will work to secure the scope to a weaver or picatiny rail. However it will not give you the proper height for co witness of iron sights on the standard AR-15 platform. If you do not need a co witness set up and prefer your scope to be close to the barrel then one of the low rings will work perfect. Hope this helps.

If you are referring to the front sight "co-witnessing" through the reticle in your scope, I can't say for certain since my recent build has "NO" iron sights, just a scope. I know this mount is specifically designed for the AR platform to allow what you are talking about. Sorry I couldn't be more help

It will probably be too tall. I love the riser though. I needed to get my scope off the upper rail just high enough to be able to put the scope protective caps on. Works like a champ and brings it up to eye level for me. Maybe consider ditching the iron sights you have now and switch to magpuls offset sights. Little pricy but that's what I did. Hope this helps good luck.

Yes would work excellent there I have it on my AR and it works great and you won't need the riser so it will be extremely light. You will not be dissapointed I can assure you.

I have an F-marked front site base and Magpul flip-up rear. With this setup I have no co-witness. I had to order a mid riser to see through it at all.

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

Without a riser, the front sight is visible, but not a distraction. However, I don't mind it, with a rear buis you can cowitness pretty well, and almost zero the dot with your irons.

Yes, the picatinny is how it is mounted. As for the sights, it would be totally dependent on what kind of scope you are using. I personally used a Bushnell 3x9x40 with this riser and my sight lens had roughly 1/2'' clearance above my rail.

Although I have a riser, I didn't need it. Mine is mounted on the flat top rail on my M4. A2 front sight is not a problem; the reflex sight lines up just above the front sight post on mine.... no conflict using either sight. I did not use the riser; it actually interferred with my iron sight by blocking the A2 front post.

You would have to mount this to a 1" riser qd mount which would raise the absolute co witness up as well.

Absolutely. I've got mine on a Tavor and co-witness is perfect with the integrated flip up sights.

On my AR I do not have Iron sights but you can see through under the riser though I do not think there is enough room to see Iron sites, Sorry Bob

I had to use a half inch riser, and I mounted my flip up rear sight to co witness with my 30mm dot sight. It does screw up the iron sights when the rear sight is raised that half an inch.

Personal preference to co-witness your sights or not but I would with flip ups. You can drop your sights down and out of the way when using the red dot. If you co-witness you will want a medium riser and to put the sights below the red dot and not co-witness a high riser.
