Can this rail be mounted to the slots on the top of the handguard, e.g., to allow mounting a BUIS? If so, would it be the right height?

Ben, not is the handgard is the same height as the rail (flattop rifle). The rear sight will be lower than the front sight because you have to add the slot on the front, making it higher. I guess you could add a slot to the back brining it up but I didn't want to do that. Trust me, I did it and know. Hope this helps out.

Yes it can, But it is a little higher than a normal mount I noticed. I currently have my MBUS back up sights attached to my Gas Block picatinny rail. So it may require some tweaking as far as sighting it in, but it IS possible to put on top of MOE handguard.

I don't see why not. The piece is designed to hold a light or laser. I'm sure flip up sights or mounted sights would work as well. It comes with the bolts and nuts. Loctite the piece wouldn't hurt if you are afraid of it working loose, but I don't see that happening.

As long as there are holes for the little bolts to go through I don't see why you couldn't. I added it to the bottom of my front handguard on my AR and I have a Magpul front handguard with pre-drilled holes and it bolted right on.

Without knowing the handguard length, it's impossible to say. Looking at the SR556E from Sig's site, I see that there are side rail mounting spots and pre-drilled holes on the handguard; however, I would measure the distances between the holes and compare them. If it fits, go for it. However, I cannot say for sure that it will work without knowing whether or not that handguard is flat on the sides and if the mounting holes align. Nice rifle. Matt. I have my eyes on a SR556R.

I assume you do not have an existing picatinny rail. I had issue mounting as well, I actually turned the stud upside down through the picatinny rail that comes with it and mounted it into the bottom of my handguard. This allowed me to use the supplied rail. You will have to remove your handguards to mount the mini picatinny rail. Hope this helps.

I have mine mounted on a midwest industries free floating hand guard. I took my Colt AR and lined it up side by side with the barrels level and both sights were the same hight.

As long as it has the rail base along the length of the top I don't see why it wouldn't fit.

That would depend on the height of your handguard/receiver; and I'd buy a different riser. The twist knob on/off is crap, gets in the way of the picatinny slots.

If you are talking about the front and rear sights that I bought, this front sight would be too high for a quad rail since it is designed for a gas block rail lower than your receiver rail. Your quad rail hand guard should be the same height as your receiver rail which means it will put this sight up too high causing you to hit the target too low

You should be fine with that set up depending on the position it's mounted on the rail.

The mount goes over the iron sights but there is enough of a gap in between the rail and the sights that you probably could still use the iron sights as well. I've never actually tried it myself but looking at it, it looks pretty possible

The rail comes with several different hardware kits and mounting brackets. I'm not saying that it will fit, but it's a safe bet that it will.

There are multiple ways to mount it. Do you have a standard rail for attachments? Like flash light foregrip laser? If so it should fit a standard rail width..

I don't know why not. There is a lifter to have it set higher on your rail, there is also an adjustment to center the MOA. I don't think there is a problem. I have seen picture with it on using what looks like the 512.

I used a few on a magpul handguard no drill at all, most handguards have areas where you can use this prouduct. If you have a very expensive guard like Yankee Hill or Nordic your going to need they're rails. The only thing about this unit is I found the screws could have been a tad longer! but price is good,i just spent $ 40.00 for one 12" Nordic upper rail. Bottom line it all depends on your guard !

the tray pulls out so it would not be ideal for vertical mount. you can take the tray out, then it would depend on the size of your hand and the firearm, to be able to reach in.

If the Weapon has a rail it will mount to that rail!! Designed to fit rails!

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 -
