Does the riser leave slots for rear buis? Can you use your front and rear iron sights with this riser? Getting conflicting info.

It depends on the iron sights themselves. The UTG riser has a square hollow opening through it, so low-mount irons might work. The flip-up or tall irons might work with the right optic......and it all depends on how you have each mounted on the main flat-top rail.

I have a Green/Red Dot & Green Laser Scope combo mounted on mine and I have enough room for a Magpul back-up Rear Flip Sight. You will have to take off the scope for you to be able to use a back-up Magpul front sight. As far as I can tell, the riser does not leave slots for rear buis. Sorry...

On my AR I do not have Iron sights but you can see through under the riser though I do not think there is enough room to see Iron sites, Sorry Bob

Yes any Troy rear sight will be level with your front gas block mounted sight. The block mounted sight is higher than your standard rail mount to make up for the distance between the gas block and rail. Hope this helps, btw these are excellent backups.

The iron sights that came with the 10/22 will not continue to work as this rail mounts in place of the rear sight on top of the main body. So you can have either the iron sights mounted or the rail - not both as they use the same mounting holes. There is another rail available that comes with a built-in rear peep sight but this one also requires replacing the front sight as well with an included fiber optic fire-light type because the hight of the rear sight is taller and won't align with the factory front sight. it is shown on the Ruger web site and is listed as "10/22 Ace in the Hole Set" The iron sights that came with the 10/22 will not continue to work as this rail mounts in place of the rear sight on top of the main body.

I have it set up on my AR and it has it's short comings. I would prefer the sights to be alittle higher. If you're not running back up iron sights then it works great.

No. You do not have enough run out on the front sight, front & rear have to be very close to level,at differnt ranges this hight will realy come to bare.

It will probably be too tall. I love the riser though. I needed to get my scope off the upper rail just high enough to be able to put the scope protective caps on. Works like a champ and brings it up to eye level for me. Maybe consider ditching the iron sights you have now and switch to magpuls offset sights. Little pricy but that's what I did. Hope this helps good luck.

Yes it does as I have a S&W; M&P15; .223. You will need an 1" riser to over sight the forward iron sight unless you plan on using it to co-witness with the sight.

If you are talking about an A2 style fixed front sight, than YES, you ABSOLUTELY need a riser mount to clear the front sight with this scope. The included quick detach mount is very low profile, and if you mount directly to the receiver rails the front sight post will totally block your view if you have an A2 style front sight. I had to buy a 1 inch riser for it to clear the A2 sight

Depends on your back up iron sights. Diffrent heights require different mounts. My flip up soghts needed the cantilever mount in order for the sight to be cowitness

I have a carry handle rear sight and though it worked I needed a riser for mine but it gave me more adjustment!

I have an F-marked front site base and Magpul flip-up rear. With this setup I have no co-witness. I had to order a mid riser to see through it at all.

It depends on how high up your red dot optic is above the rail. You can easily get a riser rail for a few bucks if it doesn't.

You have to take off the rear sight to put the rail in its place- so no you can't use the iron sights. I think the rail is about 6" long, but you can cut off any excess

There is no rear iron sight where this is mounted on a Marlin 336. I don't know about other models. On the 336 you take out four factory short screws and install this rail with the four screws provided. Not much else to say.

should co witnness with front site post, if not then add riser. have to check to be sure, works on my s&w ar 15

Not adjustable to the extent you need it. I would look for a different height sight or you can get a profile riser mount (UTG sells one for about 8 bucks, and you can get them in different heights). Hope this helps -

I don't think so. The rear sight is designed to mount directly on the receiver after being drilled and tapped. The front is designed to be mounted over the factory bead sight.
