can you tell me the height of this sight with it flipped into the upward position. when installed, how high off of the rail is the top of the sight

From the top of the rail to the top of the sight post is 1-5/16". It is adjustable. I use mine with the UTG flip up tactical rear sight. Mike's answer is also helpful. It took me 3 set's to find the right one.

If you are mounting this front flip up sight on a (flat top weaver rail) it will be perfect for a rear sight such as a (carry handle rear sight). It measures 1-1/2" from the top of the weaver rail to the very top of the overall sight, wich is above the sight post that you will use for sighting in your weapon. I have this flip up sight on my flat top(ar15) and it works great. I have a carry handle rear sight, and a flip up (low profile) front utg sight. IF you are getting this sight to flip down so you can use optics you'll be fine. Be careful because... utg also makes a flip up sight that is not a (LOW). It all depends on the rear sight. Good luck!

his sight has a height of approx. 1.38" to top of post. I say approximaely because this will depend on adjusted height. Use this on a rail or rail height gas block, NOT the normal height gas block. This will work with any flat top with any standard rear sight. There will be a problem using it with an A1 or A2 upper receiver as the post height will be approximately 0.30" that that on a non F-marked sight base. Not a major deal as long as you are aware and can make adjustments.

The height of the sight from the top of the rail/gas block is 1 9/16". This low profile sight is great if your gas block (mine) or front rail is the same height as your upper receiver. If your gas block is lower then you need the normal height sight. I hope this was helpful.

I believe that it is 1/4 moa. The sight height on my rifle with that mount is 2.625 inches.

This will raise your sight 1/2" . Cut a piece of wood I/2" thick, put it in between your sight and rifle, tape in place with duct tape, look through the sight and see how you like the cheek fit. If its good, buy this riser. That was how I could tell it would work for me before buying it

Mine is 3/4" from top of rail mounted. This is the base with the rear site down

With this riser I can still see the front sight in my optics, but it is below the red dot by a bit, so it may not be high enough for you to use the flip up sight too. Hope that helps....

I dont believe it is high enough this sight's front post tip sits about 1 3/4 from my rail you might have to use a rail riser

The actual height above bore not sure, but it worked well with my colt m4 with a fixed front A2 sight. It blurs out the front sight, I didn't notice it hardly at all. That was just me. When you look through any sight you typically look past the end of the barrel anyways.

I have a similar sight, same style, different brand name. This riser gives the actual red dot a height of 1.5 inches above your flat top. Also,the 5 slots line up to the exact length of the mount on the bottom of the sight. Hope that helps.

Although I have a riser, I didn't need it. Mine is mounted on the flat top rail on my M4. A2 front sight is not a problem; the reflex sight lines up just above the front sight post on mine.... no conflict using either sight. I did not use the riser; it actually interferred with my iron sight by blocking the A2 front post.

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.

I believe it is around 2 3/4" Height Over Bore. I'm running my Vortex on a Spikes Tactical 556 upper with a fixed A2 Front Sight Post. It co-witnesses perfectly in this setup. All I had to do was crank down the dot so it is just above the Front Post.

It sits kinda high,you would have to run low scope rings to get a good line of site.also you might want to check how it moi ts on the rifle itself cause mine was not true the mount pointed the front of my scope down using the 91/30 shi.s that co.e with the kit.I suggest spending the extra money and getting a proper mount for the rifle Russian side mount or the rock solid mount

Yep that's what I have it on. F mark is the standard front sight. This will be the right height.

It depend if you have a high front sight and to fix that you need to have a riser 1/2" or 3/4" depend on your preference.

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.

This mount is fairly low to the receiver. If you don't have a front sight you can flip down I would not recommend it.
