is this high enough to see over the front sight on an ar15? i have the smith and wesson mp 15 sport.

It's giving you about a 1" rise, probably not enough rise to see over the front sight
506888
Yes, I mounted a 3x9 scope on a M&P; Sport and don't notice the front sight.

I have mine on an M&P15;, although not the sport model & it works fine with the front sights, it is high enough to see over it, now whether or not we have the same front sights I don't know, but I would think you'll be fine

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.

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.

I had no problems whatsoever when mounted on a colt 6920 upper. Even cleared the Matech BUIS but not enough to use it while the scope is mounted.

The rear of the sight is dead even with the rear of my std. MP 40 so if it is closer i would think it would overhang by however much it is closer. Does also work really well on the wifes sd9 so not sure

I doubt it, the stock goes underneath nowhere near the sights on top of the rifle. It didn't affect my sights

Depends on what you have but it should not interfere with the front sight. I have this on a shotgun and it does not interfere with anything.

You may have noticed that the UTG Medium Profile Riser Mount with 3 slots was listed along with this sight and that mount is generally good to co-witness your AR-15 iron sights. I have had to also use the Low Profile version on some guns but Medium should be fine.

I use this sight on a mini 14. The blade is adjustable for height. The sight sits on a picatinny rail mounted on the rifles barrel, this sight is the high sight. I believe they sell a lower type sight that accounts for the front a rear rails on a AR-15 being of equal height. My rails are not of equal height, my front rail diffenitly sits lower than the rear. They both match, I used a laser bore sight to adjust them with.

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.

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.

the question is strangely worded. The sight is meant to fit on top of a gas block that is at the sane height as the rail on the upper receiver.

Yes, you would need tall mounts to clear over the front sight though. Good luck getting it dialed in.

I'm not sure Jack. Not sure how it will line up or how it will co witness, if at all. I wound remove the front sight all together but that is just my preference. My AR came with no sights because I wanted to put my own on.

Mine would not easily fit an AR15 with a telescopic or red dot scope, it's too tall and it's very difficult to close. I wouldn't recommend it for an AR15 that had anything other than iron sights installed.

Yes. I keep one on top of my AR right in front on my rear sight and it does not obstruct my ability to use the iron sights. In fact, it makes it much better. I made a YouTube video review of this light with it on an AR. Search Hilight P5S review there. This is a great little light.

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!

if not you can put 1" riser blocks under Neath the see thru mounts that is the way I did it on my smith & Wesson p22 I have the laser under Neath my barrel and a big scope on top and can see my iron sights with no problem so if it don't work just with the scope mounts you can but 1" riser monts form Amazon and I know that worked for me

I think it would depend on the scope. I bought this to put on my AR to raise my Eotech 512 over the front sights. It didn't work because the Eotech has a large fastening knob on the side which got in the way of the riser. I ended up having to go with the medium profile riser which worked well. Hope this helped.

Sorry, I can't help as I don't have an AR-15. I can say that the sight has a wide range of adjustment.
