Anyone with an AR 15, will I need a one inch riser so the scope clears the front sight? (M&amp;P 15 .223)

Not unless you want to use your iron sights in addition to this scope. Then you'll need 1" high see through scope rings.

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....

Yes, it's just a picatinny rail on a riser. UTG and others make a "medium" height riser that allows a absolute co-witness (dot sets on front sight post) with the Magpul MBUS gen2 BUIS

I have two ARs: flattop with Magpul MBUS front and rear, the other with the A2 front and MBUS rear. No riser of any kind was needed for either.

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.

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

First of all I needed a short and low riser. Went with a Yankee hill for 14 bucks on Amazon. I have used a few front sights, but right now I have a polymer diamondhead with adjustable post. I wanted all the sights lined up for light or dark conditions. Could not clear without the riser.

Depends. If you install it on a S&W MP15-22 or similar - NO. However if you put it on an AR15 with Raised Sights, you will need to add a spacer rail to raise the scope above your current sights if you do not want to remove them. You can also buy a 30 or 45 degree adaptor and mount the scope to that rail, allowing you to use both the scope and current sights. Cheaper Than Dirt, or Midway both carry these.

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!

Probably. I put mine on a M&P; 15-22. I used a 1/2" riser as well to clear the factory sights.

I don't believe you would even need the riser on the 10/22. I assume you would mount the picatanny rail or the rail which came with the rifle on top of the receiver and then the optic on top of the rail. This should give you the perfect sight alignment without the need of any riser.

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.

I assume you have decided you really need a riser and cannot make do with high or extra-high scope rings. Make sure the length of the riser is a good match with the length of the rail on the AR7. Both should be the same length or the riser slightly shorter than the rail of the gun. If you need closer eye relief for an optic, just adding this riser won't help and you should consider buying an offset riser having a cantilevered extension on one end. Since the 1913 Picatinny rail is a military standard design, all such rails will fit together if the lengths are compatible.

Should be fine... its the height of the scope that has the clearance problem. I use a 1" riser

Depends on the sight that you are using. I am using a Bushnell 3x9x40 I tried it with and without a riser. Without the riser it was clear of the sight. But i am also using a redfeid red dot with laser and found that it will not clear the front sight without a riser. I also have discovered that the Bushnell works very well with the set up. without the riser I can centre my Bushnell scope to the A2 front site for deadly accurate distance shot. It is a good mount for AR platform. I hope this helps.

That is almost exactly the set-up I have, and yes it puts the scope up high enough to clear the front sight. It seems to be well-made. I have no regrets!

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.
