Would the view be obstructed by the front sight? If I mounted the AR-536 on a Bushmaster M4 A3 patrolman.﻿

You might see the top of the fixed site at the bottom of the lense, but it shoudl be well below the reticle. Change teh sight/gas block assembly and add a collapsible sight. The you will never have to worry about it again. It's not that hard to do.

I have a colt le6940 .223 , the front site doesn't obstruct view looking through the scope

I don't have a front sight on mine. It shouldn't if the front sight flips down. I love this scope.

I have mine mounted on my M4, and have no front sight blockage. I did replace the standard plate, with a quick release plate, but they are the same height. Good Scope!

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.

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

Yes, in that you can run this without impacting the functionality of your fixed front sight. I run this without an elevated riser. The front post does not get in the way and co-witness is achievable with a fixed front sight.

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.

The sight affixes to the rail on our M4. Unless you modify your handgun to allow attachment of the sight, you probably won't be able to attach it.

Yes. I keep one on top of my AR right in front on my rear sight and it does not obstruct my ability to use the iron sights. In fact, it makes it much better. I made a YouTube video review of this light with it on an AR. Search Hilight P5S review there. This is a great little light.

Not sure, took the carry handle off A3 and put the utg and a scope on works fine. The front sight shows in the scope but does not cause any problem.

I mounted standard flip up iron sights in my AR. You can see the sights great right through the multi dot. Don't know why the reticle on top or a later on the side wouldn't work also. Very versital!

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.

It will not. The front sight, even though directly in front, will be invisible through the scope... strange, but true.

I have mine mounted on a m4 with mbus sight. I can co witness with no issues. Great sight. My only issue so far is that sometimes the auto off does not work.

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

I had it on a 7.62x39 so from my experience yes. I sold the gun it was on so don't know how long it's gonna hold up. I found it to be decent as a cheap optic when your in the bush. And it looks really nice.

I have a Bushmaster xm-15 ORC, It did not come with a front or rear sight, I added magpul backup sights and without any risers I can't see the backup front sight in the scope(though by the height it looks like you could). Not sure on the fixed front sight on most M4 variants but I know with my magpul sight i haven't been able to Co - witness at all with this scope.

I would say no. If the front sight is higher than normal, it would not fit in the grove in the push.

It will sit on the top pof the rail so yes more than likely you will see the front sight post in the scope. Really I regret buying this scope. Save up for a better scope. It is poorly made.
