Does the rail mount allow lower 1/3 co-witness or absolute with A2 front sight post and MBUS rear?

I get absolute co-witness with the supplied mount on my Smith & Wesson M&P; 15 and it's irons.

I do not have any front sights on my weapon at this time. But to help i researched the product. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-strikefire-red-dot-ring-extra-high-absolute-co-witnessThe site states absolute, and i think they assume an A2 front sight on most AR-15s. However, i would measure from the base of your rail up to 37mm, then see if it makes a straight line to the tip of the A2 sight? I did'nt shine in geometry class but I think that would be a good double check to make sure. Good luck man! BTW the scope is awesome!

It co-witnessed fine (absolute) with an F marked A2 front sight post (PSA upper) and Matech BUIS rear (should be same height at MBUS). It also co-witnessed with YHM flip up (gas block & sight) as well as with a MBUS front- both with Matech rear sights. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I do not use the rear site. it does co witness just fine. I'm thinking of using an eotech fr my front sites. over all... I'd recommend this site. works for my Kriss.

No, not enough clearance under the mount. I put offset iron sights on my AK-74 to supplement the optical sights.

im not exactly sure since i'm not familiar with your rifle. I have the standard A2 front sight and a rear magpul flip up (probably as you do). I had to switch the highrise to a shorter one (from UTG) to get a better lower 1/3 co-witness. the high rise mount the TRS-25 came with was a little high. good luck

The dust cover rail is the absolute worst option for mounting a sight, but yes it will fit on it. I highly doubt it will hold a zero at all though.

I would call them low mount about good 3/8 inch under the scope mine is mounted on a S&W; MP 15-22 with a UTG 3/4 mount which is mounted on the gun.I can use the original sight right through the scope.

I installed this on a flat top A4 with the A2 fixed front sights and it works perfectly for me. Hope this helps.

It works for me. I have a gas block mount front sight as well in a co-witness setup.

It is set up at the standard sight height for an AR. What determines the co-witness capability is the mount height you use for your optic. The mount for your optic will determine whether it will be absolute co-witness, lower third co-witness, or completely prevent you from using the iron sights. Do research on the mounts and optics you want to use. But, this sight won't be the reason why it won't co-witness. It is a standard height iron sight.

I have several of these scopes. I have consistently used American Defense Recon S scope mounts for use on my AR15's and 308 AR's...height allows for MBUS rear sight.

The rail mount fits any AK configuration with the standard AK side rail mount. The mount fits very close to the dust cover thereby prohibiting the removal of the cover with the mount on.This is fairly standard with all mounts. The optic will be centered, but keep in mind co witness is not always achieved with the AK.

No, and any mount that is will not let you maintain a proper cheek weld. This usually not an issue though as your eye will not "see" the front sight any way.

The 1/3 co-wittness is lower. It 's intended to off-set most fixed sites to be seen on the lower third of an optic.

I have it on my Beaman and it works fine with the 3/8 rail. Very strong mount.

Absolutely NOT. XPS has center co-witness. EXPS has witness in the bottom third. My witness is at the very bottom with all of my iron sights.

I have this Bushnell TRS-25 on my AR-15 mounted to a UTG # RS08S3 3 Slot medium profile riser mount. My AR-15 is stock with the A2 front sight. This mount allows co-existing sights to be used in case of battery fail. That way back up sights are a click away.

I had to low mount on my Strikfire for my Mini 14. I switched the sight to my AR and added this cantilever mount. This mount is offered in absolute co-witness and 1/3 co-witness. I went with the 1/3 and loved it. Not sure if this answered your question or not but yes, you can remove the low mount that came with the sight when you bought it and add this mount to change the co-witness. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-cantilever-30mm-ring-1-inch-offset-absolute-co-witness

I do not know. I'm handy with tools so I was able to install PART of one rail section on my 300 AAC. As I mentioned, these are NOT true 'keymod' mounts, but are cheap to play with.ron

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.
