Does it have the peep/ look through so I can still use iron sites when it's mounted on my carry handle?

Yes, although the opening is small so FAST sight acquisition is difficult, if not impossible. But yes, you can still use your sights while the scope is mounted on your carry handle.

It does mount directly over the receiver. And more importantly it allows the use of the existing iron sight or the scope.

No problem with iron sights. I modified to allow easier cleaning. (Then I replaced the whole thing with the Tapco which costs $10 more and couldn't be happier).

Yes, but they aren't the flip open kind. They are on elastic string that you need to remove when you want to use it. Its a nice scope, I have it mounted on my Winchester 1300 12g with high see thru rings so i can also use the iron sights. Hope this was helpful!

This sight comes with the necessary rail adapter already installed. If you happen to need it to mount to a carry handle, the adapter can be removed and it will also fit that way.

On my AR I do not have Iron sights but you can see through under the riser though I do not think there is enough room to see Iron sites, Sorry Bob

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!

The sight will 1/3 co-witness with the irons depending on what sights you are using. I am currently using gen 2 magpul Mbps sights. The emitter in the sight is located at 5 o'clock and partially blocks the front sight so that you can see the FS post and the left blade. Personally I would buy the sight w/o the hi rise block and invest in a better mount. Daniel Defense makes a absolute co-witness riser that runs around $60 on amazon. Good luck

You can adjust the peep site. U will have to take it off the string and then pick a different spot in the twist of the string so it will align so the peep hole is facing straight at full draw. Note that sometimes it doesn't face completely straight when not at full draw due to the string twisting as you draw it back

Depending on the mount you choose, and what iron sights you are using, then yes, it will co-witness...

Yes, because I paired it with a standard carry handle rear sight. However, I don't recommend the UTG brand that I had purchased. Extremely poor quality & I upgraded to a Troy front 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

mine went on with a little fileing, but locktite the scope rail down, yes you can still see your irons

No. However the front irons usually dont affect the sight picture enough to warrant changing your sihht tower. When i used this on my dpms Oracle with the front sight folded in the up position it didn't interfere with sight picture. But it was an 8-32 zoom scope as well, with a 1x setting it may be visible in your field of view.

Yeah it's open. If you look closely at the picture the square portion that's on the carry handle is hollow. The threaded portion only attaches to the bottom of the piece, and the bolt looks similar to a carriage bolt.

Yes it does. I put the rear one on but had a gunsmith put the front on. I love it and since having a scope on a take down will not fit in the carry bag, this was a grat solution to existing sights. I also installed a flash suppressor.

Yes, it has a trolley handle pass through strap that is large enough to hold the pack securely even when fully loaded.
