Will this sight mount on a S&W MP-15? Anyone have an opinion on this sight using an AR?

Yes, it would mount on your AR. I think it would do "ok" but it's not a sighting system I'd put on my AR. I've got a Vortex Sparc on my "nice" AR and a Vortex StrikeFire on my not as nice AR. Maybe take a look at them. Amazon carries both of these sights, but Amazon's competition in South Carolina (PSA) has them beaten badly in price. (You listening guys?!!?)

This sight is designed to fit on any M1913 picatinny rail. While the sight functions as it should I will warn it was not designed to take the recoil from a real firearm. I had it on a 12ga, after about 50 rounds the recoil from the gun was enough to strip the threads on the front mounting bolt.

It should fit on the rail but just a warning several people have had fuzy dots so accuracy isnt all that great....

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

I have the same mount. It does fit. I've tried a couple different scopes and none feel tight to me. The stock is just short. I just use the see through iron sights. The scope itself is great for the price. I use it on my AR15. I've shot over 500 rounds. And no problems yet.

I do not have any front sights on my weapon at this time. But to help i researched the product. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-strikefire-red-dot-ring-extra-high-absolute-co-witnessThe site states absolute, and i think they assume an A2 front sight on most AR-15s. However, i would measure from the base of your rail up to 37mm, then see if it makes a straight line to the tip of the A2 sight? I did'nt shine in geometry class but I think that would be a good double check to make sure. Good luck man! BTW the scope is awesome!

Yes, I have it mounted to a S&W; M&P; sport model AR15. The built-in laser unfortunately will be blocked by the front fixed sight. I purchased an additional laser and mounted it on a forward picatinny rail.

No issues as if yet. I have it on a UTG 5th Gen SKS Hi-Profile See-thru Integral Ring Mount (mounted on an SKS). Reticles are fine. Of course, we'll see down the road, but as of now, it's fine.

The dust cover rail is the absolute worst option for mounting a sight, but yes it will fit on it. I highly doubt it will hold a zero at all though.

Sorry I am so long answering this. I do not see how this is possible... not unless the front sight is also rail mounted, elevation equipped, and the correct height to match the rear unit in question.This sight is specifically designed for the AR-15/M-4 platform and IS NOT ELEVATION ADJUSTABLE. There are so many better options than this... keep on looking.

I cannot answer this for certain. However I can tell you this is a sight which I like very much. It mounts to a pickitinny sight rail which attaches to the top of the rifle. A gunsmith can do this for you--quite reasonably--if you have a good one locally, or if the barrel is already tapped for attachment rail or already has a rail on it you should be good to go.

Yes, but you must have the pic/weaver rail. The Ruger 10/22 scope mount that comes with the rifle is not very good and come loose easily. I would recommend using Loctite 222 ( the blue stuff ) on the rail mounting screws to keep it tight. You should be ok. I have this same sight on my S & W MP 15/22 and it works fine.

Yes. I have it on a Smith & Wesson {O.R.}15 mounting a lg tactical sight and it made the difference for me. Since it is not my main Optics I like how easy it can be installed.

If your S&W; is AR-15 architecture, yes, it will work just fine! It requires picatinny rail mount.

i mounted it on a rhino mount connected to a ph helmet and it sat too far forward. even with the mounts rail set all the way rearward. because of this, you will never get a good sight picture and i am now considering buying the rifle mount and just mounting this monocular right behind an aimpoint pro. i am hesitant because im not sure it will co-witness.

I have mounted it on a s&w m&p15 and a custom AR. It should fit on any picitinny rail

I have M&P 15 and it brings you to the perfect height. Works well with both scopes I have. Red Dot and UTG x9.

I have mounted mine behind an Aimpoint PRO that was set for co-witnenn on a AR 15. It matched perfect. When behind my EOTech EXPS 3-2 it appeard to set too low, but surprisingly the sight picture was perfect, and centered

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 attached mine to a 12ga. shotgun. i do not own a ar-15 but the item is prettyflexible as far as width, so i am assuming that it would work on your ar.
