How many rail slots does the front sight use up? My gas block has 2 slots and 3 flats. I also have a sling point mounted on it so I really only have a little space left. Curious how much of a section of rail the front sight will cover.

It uses one slot and two flats, total. I just de-installed and re-installed to make 101% positive for you. Hope that helps, my friend. Happy shooting and KCCO.

You're right. It's designed for a low profile gas block sight. I mounted mine on a UTG quad rail gas block and it's perfect height.

I haven't had any issues with mine. I hit the four screws with thread locker during the initial install. I have the same rifle and have not had any issues. You will be able to see your front post and enough of your rear sight to still have functional iron sights as is claimed.

It uses one slot on top of the rail system , about 1" wide , works great on AR , fast removal and instal

Kind of depends on your rails. I'm not sure about this combination, but when they are wrong it is about 1/8" off on the height which is pretty obvious. My front sight mounted on the gas block which I think made it too high so I had to get a lower version. I think if your rails are the same height front and rear they work together. I don't have my rifle in front of me.

I put it on my DPMS 308LR which doesnt have a front post or rear site. I used tall scope rings and it still fits tights to the gun. They dont make bases and rings for this and you may look into this. So your question is not so much the scope as all scopes are about the same size. But as for the scope its very nice and I thought worked great for the money

I still have the original 2 point sling on the rifle with the bipod. It fits between the legs or to the side. I will probably change to a single point in the future.

Each carbine would be different depending on the model you own, but I removed mine and it covers up 8 slots. I have mine mounted 3 from the front with a Magpul sling mount up front.

You should be able to keep and use the front sight. The Samson rail tucks in under the lip of the gas block.

I run one on a flat top ar15 on a 45 degree angle as a backup sight. I don't know anything about a SCAR, but I know that it holds zero on my ar well after 400 rounds down range. I had to look around to find a mount that would angle to drop the sight on the bore axis. I got my 45 mount from Amazon.

Hi Victor. That is an excellent question, but I'm not 100% sure. As far as I know, the Troy Rear and Front sights should line up correctly, but I'm not sure about your rail setup. I would take a picture of your AR and send it to Troy, they are very helpful and can tell you if this Rear sight will work or not.

No, gas this sight is meant for a low profile gas block. You need a stanard height front sight.

It sounds like your forend overlaps the receiver when fully back. If it overlaps by more than ~1/2", then it will interfere with the sidesaddle, which comes within 1/2" of the front end of the receiver. My aftermarket Eotech forend butts flush with the receiver when fully back (the battery plug overlaps, but underneath the receiver so there isn't any interference) and so doesn't interfere with the sidesaddle. The stock Blackhawk forend fit the same way. If you want a sidesaddle with your 3 rail forend you may have to go to the 4-round model instead of the 6-round version.

I used this to mount a red dot for the same problem that you are describing. The AR I mounted it on has an integrated front iron sight. Like you are describing it interferes but I am not going to be the fool that screws with a iron sight from the SigSauer factory. This rail perfectly raises the sight just above the front sight so that the sight is usable and not a problem. This is definately the way to go. Hopefully I have answered the question let me know if not.

It can go to top rail some guns .and ar have a riser on them it does fit on top flat rail but for me to see good through it .I had to raise the rail 1 inch but we'll worth it for the price and cool looking

For the rail you only need about 1 1/8 inch. So if you are attaching to a low pro gas block need will need it exposed, when folded the measurement is 2 inch total unobstructed. By the way, I love these sights!!

I mounted mine on my flat top, and to the handguard mount, not the gas block. I have not had any issues with sighting in or holding a zero.
