does this sight work with 7.62 x 51 rifle? Do you need the front sight if you already have a fixed sight?

It should work...I'm using one with a fixed front sight on a .556, and I've never seen any other height option mentioned for use with the .308 versions.

Should work with a 7.62 x 51 rifle as long as that rifle has the rail to mount it. I wouldn't say it could be used on and AK since AK's don't typical have a rail to the rear of the rifle.. Also you don't need the Magpul front sight if you already have a fixed sight so no worries on that.

I have an LR-308 AR10 platform rifle with fixed front sight and measured the aperture position from the picatinney rail to the carry handle and the MBUS locations and found them both to be the same at approx 36.25mm. It should work fine.

as long as you have a rail system you should be fine. the sight can definitely handle any recoil if that's what your asking?...yes it will work with a fixed front sight. I have this on the rear of my ar-15 because its just a backup sight with fixed front sights and a red dot that I usually use. hope that helps.

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.

It should fit just fine. According to the directions, you might need to use a flat file on the bottom of the sight in order to make it fit correctly. I had to use one on mine.

If the bottom of the large reticle is about 1-1/4" off the rail this front sight should work.

Yes. This is a flat top sight to match F-marked front sights. I have the same configuration.

Yes, it fit mine. The only issue was that I have a reshaped bolt handle so I had to grind away some of the material to make the notch deeper. Works fine. Only other issue is that you really need to get your face into the stock to properly see the sights, but once there it works fine, and seems to have reduce recoil some.

I have the colt le ar and I ended up taking the front sight post off. It got in the way of the scope sighting. Hope that answers your question..

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.

Yes it will work. I have the same gun.rear sight can just be screwed on if your receiver is tapped like mine was. Front sight you may need to have a gunsmith install. I did it myself but it was a pain.

I have an H&K; 91 clone and there is no problem. I have a friend that has fixed forward sight on his AR 15 and he Googled it and found an answer that someone else "did not need a riser" on his.

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.

Does anyone know if I need a 1" or a 1/2" riser to use this on a A2 AR-15 front sight? Thanks

There are at least two different sizes of tenons or stems for the front sight. The one I purchased was going on a Springfield which has a small slot in the slide. I had to file it down to fit. If your not familiar with staking a sight, you should use a gun smith to install it.

No, the one I bought has a standard metal front sight. By the way, it is not very accurate. You ought to consider another rifle.

Yes, the rear sight will line up properly with an A2 front sight post on your set up. Even though I have these sights on a 15-22, I tested the rear sight on my AR15 (M&P15X; - has the fixed A2 front sight post) in order to answer this question.

You don't need one. I have a flat top AR with standard front sight and I put this site on and had no issues at all.

It should fit the. 308. Attaches to the rear sight and butt stock. I don't think there is any difference between a 7.62 and 308 in that regard. Not a bad rail, but the sight is absolute garbage. I'm thinking of putting a TWS peep sight on it as a back up to my red dot.
