Will this co-witness with an iron sight? I have a stag arms ar-15 that has the picatinny rails on it with a fixed front sight and flip up rear sight.

It will but you will have to buy a riser/spacer for the rail and raise the scope up higher

I have to say after owning this for a while - the quality is not there. after putting about 2K rounds down range the reticle has shifter and it does not co-witness. I am moving to a Burris. Had a very hard time getting customer support too.

It depends on the iron sights themselves. The UTG riser has a square hollow opening through it, so low-mount irons might work. The flip-up or tall irons might work with the right optic......and it all depends on how you have each mounted on the main flat-top rail.

Yes, the iron sights are perfectly usable with this rail as long as no scope is mounted (which is probably why you want this mount anyway). When a scope or red dot is mounted the iron sights are covered completely, meaning you would have to take the time to remove the scope if you needed your iron sights!

Yes it does as I have a S&W; M&P15; .223. You will need an 1" riser to over sight the forward iron sight unless you plan on using it to co-witness with the sight.

Yes. The rear sight can be seen through from a little further in front on the rail. There is also the limited visibility aperture (larger hole) that can be flipped up as as well. This may not be as accurate as " normal" but, remember. We're talking about Back-Up Sights.

It is a matter of personal preference mostly. An absolute co-witness should "Dead Center" the optics Red/Green Dot Reticle in the center of the optic, and align with with your BUIS (Back.Up.Iron.Sights) in the middle of your tube . With a lower one-thirds Co-witness, your Iron sights will appear through your Red Dot Reticles tube, in the lower one-thirds quadrant of your Red Dot Tube. Depending on the height of your picatinny Rail setup, you can Add/Remove a 1/3rds Riser mount, to adjust your red dot sight so that it aligns properly with your Irons. Which ever one you go with, try it out first and see how everything lines up together. If it isn't quite right, try the 1/3rds Riser mount. I know that TruGlo makes one.

It is considered a high mount, providing proper clearance and eye position. If you have a fixed sight and low power setting on your scope, you will be able to see that front sight. You might try a folding front sight to cure that problem. If you are trying to co-witness iron sights and scope, it will not work right, because of magnifying effect, even thou the height will be right.

You may have noticed that the UTG Medium Profile Riser Mount with 3 slots was listed along with this sight and that mount is generally good to co-witness your AR-15 iron sights. I have had to also use the Low Profile version on some guns but Medium should be fine.

no, it won't. However, my clone was built without a rear sight and i removed the front sight and replaced it with a low-profile gas block in order to use a longer forearm rail system. didn't need the iron sights as this scope has them built in above the optics. zoom in on the pic and you can see them. these sights are way better, in my opinion, to the iron sights that are usually found on ar's.

Yes, it fits the rail. It clears the fold down front site, though I do have mine set to fold away towards the muzzle. It depends on where along the picatinny rail you setup. With AR's, I hate fighting to get to my charging handle (lol). So this off-set mount let me push the scope forward. I usually leave the front iron site up. It doesn't effect my vision through the scope.

The sight sits kinda high above your rail, so yes, you should be fine. Mine has a flat front gas book and so front sights would not be an issue for me. It may be visible if you have a raised front gas block, but should not obstruct your crosshairs.

yeah you can adjust it to co witness with any sight. I have the magpul flip ups and they work great together
293552
I have a flatop 9mm AR with the this tru glo red dot sight mounted forward on the rail, with the flip up rear magpul sight to the rear of the rail and with the magpul up, it actually co-witnesses with each other, flipped down it's totally out of the way of the tru glo sight!
1814921
I have the Magpul front sight on mine, is it the same height as magpuls? also, if if you mean clear the front sight with a scope, not co-witness, I would say no, it does co witness perfectly though.
1026561
No, you can use the mounts supplied to use a co-witness set up. The one drawl back is the sight is small and may limit your vision through the optic to see your sights. Either way you can still use the irons through thr optic.

After a little research it is to my best knowledge the rear flip up sight should be compatible with the fixed front sight. However prior to buying a set you may want to take your rifle to a gun dealet and get their advice. Good luck, lets us know how it works out

hey jason, I ended up with this set after returning another. the key is the the rail at the scope mount is the right size. I put it on a low cost savage arms .22 rifle it did the trick and still allows me to utilize the iron sights if I want. The best thing to do is find out amazons distributor and give them a call and ask. Thats what I did when I ordered the second ones. Nice gun that henry golden boy. i almost bought one but decided to go a bit more economical
