Can the scope be co witnessed with the stock front irion sights on an AR or M-4? Does it sit high enough?

It may possibly work however there is no eye relief. You have to have your eye almost touching the scope

During the day possibly. Using it at night with a light the front site obscures the vision. S&W; M&P; sport.

The scope will be to low. Search AR scope mounts. The design of a AR flat top requires a much higher mount for proper scope to Eye alingment.

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.

Yes, in that you can run this without impacting the functionality of your fixed front sight. I run this without an elevated riser. The front post does not get in the way and co-witness is achievable with a fixed front sight.

On flat top ARs the green dot sits a little bit above the front sight post but not by much. Not one of the fiber optic sights I have used co-witness with front sights.

It all depends on how you mount the scope. Co-witnessing will work but at higher mangnifications the front sight post will be blurred like any magnified scope.

I have the Magpul front sight on mine, is it the same height as magpuls? also, if if you mean clear the front sight with a scope, not co-witness, I would say no, it does co witness perfectly though.

It doesn't have the same height as the front sight on my standard mil-spec flat top ar15 front sight. I bought this based on these answers saying it was the correct height but it isn't high enough without buying a 1/2" riser

Magpul doesn't recommend it. When I do mount a front sight to a gas block I use Midwest industries. They have a gas block height specific sight.

If you are referring to the front sight "co-witnessing" through the reticle in your scope, I can't say for certain since my recent build has "NO" iron sights, just a scope. I know this mount is specifically designed for the AR platform to allow what you are talking about. Sorry I couldn't be more help

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

Should be high enough with this riser. It put my scope up enough to see over my AR15 front sight. It is strong but lite and easy to put on and off.

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.

Yes, however you are going to need a 1/2 inch picatiny riser to allow the scope to cowitness the rear and front sights. Cowitnessing means that the sights/dots on the scope fall perfectly in line with your iron sights.

I mounted standard flip up iron sights in my AR. You can see the sights great right through the multi dot. Don't know why the reticle on top or a later on the side wouldn't work also. Very versital!

If you have a rail height gas block then mount it there. I like to have the sights as far apart as possible - I get better MOA.

I'm not sure Jack. Not sure how it will line up or how it will co witness, if at all. I wound remove the front sight all together but that is just my preference. My AR came with no sights because I wanted to put my own on.
