will the front sight be too high enough on a quad rail handguard to match up with the rear sight?

If you are talking about the angled sights that you tilt your AR in a 45 degree angle to use them, those will work with a quad rail hand guard.

If you are talking about the front and rear sights that I bought, this front sight would be too high for a quad rail since it is designed for a gas block rail lower than your receiver rail. Your quad rail hand guard should be the same height as your receiver rail which means it will put this sight up too high causing you to hit the target too low

The "extended part" usually is over the handguard. If your handguard has a rail on top that is level with the receiver, I really doubt there would be enough room - but it would depend on the thickness of the mount.

ifyou would mount it foward on a mount rail and had a rear sight that fits your rail it might work

Yes. You would have to purchase a low rise mount on here but it wouldn't be expensive.I honestly don't see you needing to change it! When you use the proper stance and have the correct cheek weld it should be perfect, this is a standard red dot height. Don't bend your neck and bring your eye to the sight, bring the gun and sight to your eye!

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.

It should be fine, as long as the rear sight doesn't get in the way. But don't hold me to it since I don't own that particular firearm nor have much experience working on it.

If you are mounting this front flip up sight on a (flat top weaver rail) it will be perfect for a rear sight such as a (carry handle rear sight). It measures 1-1/2" from the top of the weaver rail to the very top of the overall sight, wich is above the sight post that you will use for sighting in your weapon. I have this flip up sight on my flat top(ar15) and it works great. I have a carry handle rear sight, and a flip up (low profile) front utg sight. IF you are getting this sight to flip down so you can use optics you'll be fine. Be careful because... utg also makes a flip up sight that is not a (LOW). It all depends on the rear sight. Good luck!

If your pictinny rail is at least the length it then it should be no problem. Save some ammo and get a bore sight as also

I think so. All it does is raise the rail height so anything that can affix to the original rail should fit. I just needed it to get my red dot over my front sight.

Yes, you would need tall mounts to clear over the front sight though. Good luck getting it dialed in.

the question is strangely worded. The sight is meant to fit on top of a gas block that is at the sane height as the rail on the upper receiver.

it depends if your mounting your front sight on the end of a free float handguard or mounting directly on your barrel with a gas block. If your mounting on a free float hand guard, then your front sight is going to be way off, even if you use same plane or low plane BUIS. I mounted mine with a gas block because the aiming plane of my rifle looked more in line rather than the aiming plane looked high when mounted on my hand guard.

Yep that's what I have it on. F mark is the standard front sight. This will be the right height.

It depend if you have a high front sight and to fix that you need to have a riser 1/2" or 3/4" depend on your preference.

This is the correct hight to be installed on a gas block and work with other rear sights. (some front sights are shorter, so they are made to be mounted on the top rail of the hand guard) I used this with a magpul flip up rear sight, but it should work with any rear sight you choose, as long as you mount it on a glass block.

Yes. A flat top receiver is a little higher (thicker on the deck) so a taller f marked sight is appropriate. The rear sight is correct for this set up.

The sight you are looking at will only work on uppers with gas block. These are a tad taller since the gas block is slightly below the quad rail on a flat top m4. The front sight is also adjustable for elevation.
