I have a a-3 flat top. I plan on using a 3x9x40 scope, Will this view clear the front sight using standard rings and mount? Thanks

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.

I put this mount on my DPMS and have a 2-7X32 and it has lots of clearance. I don't believe I would have any problem with a 40 mm scope objective on my rifle using this mount and standard (medium) rings.

Yes I am using this mount with standard rings and 50mm objective and it is just perfect I am using it on an Olympic arms k8 free float target match heavy barrel

That is almost exactly the set-up I have, and yes it puts the scope up high enough to clear the front sight. It seems to be well-made. I have no regrets!

I had to use high rings as well as the UTG, but it works great. with just UTG and standard rings I had a shadow in the lower reticle. I recommend high rings with the UTG, it also helps to clear the charging mechanism of the AR's.

Yes on a flat-top AR. As long as your rail is the same height on the front & rear mount points. If your front mount is a lower rail height than the rear you need the tactical height from sight. I bought the low profile for my flat-top. Three adjustments total & dead on.

It depends on the size of your optic. The bottom of the mounting area of my scope is about an inch off the top of the rail, center is about 1.5 inches. The important part is the width of your lenses/lens housing and if you have a folding rear iron sight on your rifle (if it is an AR or other tactical type rifle). I have an A2 fixed front sight and although by looking at it, it would seem it should obstruct view through the scope, I cannot see a trace of it regardless of magnification.

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.

Nope - you'll see the front sight post through the scope at 1x power, but lower than the dot. No big deal. At 4x the post is gone.

This is high enough to co-witness. IMO you wouldn't want a scope to be high enough to completely look over the front sight that wouldn't offer a good check weld or shooting position. Your crosshairs will be looking through the front sight post. If you are using 3x and up magnification you most likely will not see the front sight A2 post. If that is a problem change out the A2 for a gas block with folding front sight.

Yes, I have a Nikon 4-12 x 40mm prostaff mounted on my flat top ar. Fits fine. I actually was thinking of getting some low profile risers to mount under the QD rings to raise the scope a few mm. Otherwise, these are great rings.

99% certain that it will fit 50mm objective scope to flat top AR : I currently have a 3-9x40 mounted to my Stag Arms 5.6 flat top AR using TMS AR 15 M4 mount. My scope exterior measurement is 47mm and leaves 15mm clearance below the front of the scope.

No, but it doesn't matter, your scope will not focus on the front sight. It is hard to understand, but it is not an issue. This is my favorite scope mount. I have 5.

No... You will not be able to see through the bottom of the mount and use the sights as well as the scope. It is very quick to detatch and use irons as needed.

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

I believe the sights would be too high for a see through mount. Noun the scope flush with rings that have the ability to 45 degree iron sights.

No it will not mount a 50mm scope on an AR flat top received, the mount is too low profile for that application.

Depends on what you want to mount in it. If it's a 1x scope you will see the front sight. If it's 4x and above you won't see it because at that magnification the scope can't focus on something that close. At 3-4x you may see a slight blur at the bottom of the scope, but at higher magnifications you likely won't see anything.

It depends on the gun. However on my AR it did NOT clear the front sight post. I moved it to my AR 10 without the fixed sight post. I will also like to add that it is a very good product and highly recommend it.

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

No, it's a matter of the height of the rings. If you want to co-witness the scope use a set of low rings, as long as you have some space between the barrel and the scope front bell of the glass you'll be fine. The sights can be removed, if you desire.
