I don't have lots of room between my optics & iron sites. How wide is the mount? Can you tell me both how many slots it takes & the width in inches?

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

The mount is two piece, the outside width is 1"Plan on three slots on picatinny rail it wont cover the outer slots but will make them unusable for other mounts. If you have 1" , it should work.

One inch wide at the widest point. The mounting base uses one slot to mount it but will cover the rails to either side of the slot. I have mine mounted at the very front slot (barrel end) and it lines up well to catch the shells. Hope this helps.

I mounted it in order to install a Bushnel TRS red dot, so no you can no longer use the iron Ruger sights the way I have it set up.

Yes. That is my setup. It fits all fast fire mounts.it co-witnesses perfectly with my irons.

Yes, that's what I have and to be honest send your money on a Larue mount, this one was not good enough for my set up. it would not hold center, I would use this on a .22 that's it. I have a M&P 15 .556, and if your going to spend the money on a Aimpoint, don't go cheap on the magnifier, I hope this helps. Steve

I don't know. I put a m4 carbine with a collapsed stock and there is no wiggle room. There is room however for any mounted optics.

You have to take off the rear sight to put the rail in its place- so no you can't use the iron sights. I think the rail is about 6" long, but you can cut off any excess

This one sits it directly over the chamber and allows you to utilize both the scope and irons with the right scope and mounts. I personally have it setup with a 50mm and low profile mounts and as long as I pull off my scope covers, I can use both perfectly. Just be careful installing it if you are doing it yourself.

There is plenty of room up to about 44mm objective - maybe more. This is a good and forgiving mount that will give you plenty of eye relief without creating an unusable set-up.

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

Yes, you can use your Iron sights. No problem here. I love the mount, rock solid! "When you follow the instructions and it's mounted properly."

well also bought the mechanically fixed HiViz sights they work are are helpful. depending on if you have a rail or smooth barrel would decide the type but in either case the rail mount winds up being about 18" apart when targeted with a laser bore sighting tool. Its just slaps on but sighting is another store.

Absolutely. Should be plenty of room. I'm able to use the iron sights on my marlin 60.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this question but the mounting bolt holes are spaced 3" apart on center. You also must provide your own mounting bolts, does not come with them. As far as the slot size if you mean how far the jaws spread apart then that is about 3" also.

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 measured 4 5/8inches center to center for mounting holes tis was from slot to slot. I hope this answers your question.

I think the length may be an issue because of the short rail. You may want to consider and Eotech optic.

The mount interface only covers 3 slots, but I used the 7 slot rail (L3) to avoid anything snagging under the pressure switch end of the light as easily. FWIW, the sand color of the light is not a match for Magpul's FDE furniture, so I would order black if I did it again.
