If anyone is using this scope with a Flat top Ar-15 that has the Fixed front sight /Tower can you see over the front sight with the suoplied rings ?

While the rings are fairly high I would suggest you don't spend anything on this POS. I used it on my ruger 10/22 and the Reticle started canting over after 20 rounds. unserviceable, and clearly not worh any price.

I used this scope on a flat-top receiver without a FSB. I used a mount with a 1" rise. I do have another rifle with a FSB and similar scope. Did not use a riser on it. FSB only shows up as a very small blur. Does not affect ability to hit targets.

No harm in trying it with the front sight post - if you crank it up to 4x (or slightly less?), you shouldn't see the front sight post. I don't know at what lower power the post will appear (as anything other than a blurb), but I'd think you could adjust it @ 1x etc. (where you'll be using it as a red dot) to rest just over the front sight? Mine currently resides on a 22AR, which happens to be the first AR type rifle I've had without a fixed front sight post. I have an ACOG (4x) and the front sight post doesn't bother me a bit looking through it - the front sight post is almost translucent when looking thru the scope - I'd actually have to look for it in order to know it's there @ 4x.

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!!!!!!!

Yes. You can still see through the iron sights below the scope mount. I recommend adding an adjustable cheek rest to your buttstock to accommodate using the scope or the iron sights are required while still maintaining a good "stock weld." An Archangel (if on a budget) or JAE (if money is no problem) drop in stock works great.

Open red dots can be mounted on the rail on top of the scope ring. It comes with smooth and railed rings

This is a general question that applies to all low magnification scopes on ARs with a front sight tower. Here's the problem. If you mount it up high enough so the front sight tower is not in view, then you have mounted the scope too high to get a decent cheek weld. To use a scope like this, you just need to learn to look past the front sight, or put a different gas block on the barrel.

My answer is the same as Chris's. The front sight is not visible looking through my Nikon P-233 scope.

I have a flat top with offset front sight, but with the Nikon mounts it should not impede the reticle or center of target but it will show in the site picture.

It will fit, whether its the best ring for your specific application is really the question here. If you're using it on an AR-15 with a carrying handle rail, that would work pretty well. For a flattop AR, you're going to want to use a higher ring. If you're not putting it on an AR-15, I couldn't tell you. Hope this helps.

The medium rings that come with this get the scope to not show the A1 front sight. I have a Colt M4A1

No. I had to take the iron sights off. The high point front sight sticks up too high. It would be in your scopes view.

What "just me" said is true, but you would need or want a long picatinny/weaver rail. These sights, the rear, typically mount on the back of an AR flat top and the front on the gas block,they have to be on the same plane, you have the same distance between them as stock iron sights, usually with a scope in between. Mounting them any closer could possibly pose sighting in and accuracy problems.

I am using this mount on that rifle and the top edge of the front sight is about at the centerline of the scope. But you can't see the front sight through the scope when looking at distant objects because its so out of focus its hardly even a blur.

I just pulled up images of the M&P; Sport and it appears they are all flat top rail guns, as long as you have standard rails as I believe the mp15 sport does it will mount up without any problems. That there is a quick release mountain available for this scope but it is an option for convenience not a requirement.

I have an A1 front sight on my BCM AR15 and ordered the med. riser to mount the UTG CQB on. It worked perfectly and the scope is amazing for the price!

No, the front sights will not be a problem for this scope, provided you have the scope mounted properly. I have this scope with the Nikon mounting rings and I have no issues whatsoever with the front sights on an AR15 application.
