I cannot give you an exact measurement, I would estimate nearly 3/4 of an inch, give or take 1/8 maybe. Sorry if this is not very helpful, at the time I am answering this, I've traded this product with a friend.

The top of the sight (tip of protective ears) is 1.5 inches from the top of rail. The opening for the sight post begins @ 1 and 1/8th inches from the top of rail. If buying the front and rear sight set, they are designed to mount on the same plane/rail height. Hope this helps.

Measure the center height of your red dot(from top of picatinny rail to where the actual red dot is) if it's on or about 42mm you should be good to go.I have a Bushnell trs25 with a utg high mount and it's right on the money.

Hey, the Turrent markings are 1/4' @ 100yrd zero or MOA. On my DPMS with the M-223 XR mount, the Scope height is approx. 2.66 inches (center of bore or bolt to the center of the scope). So far I have been very please with this scope. The book says that this scope is optimal with a 55 grn bullet with a muzzle velocity of 3,240 FPS. I'm trying to load a round that meets those specifications, just waiting for it to cool down around here!Good Luck,Charles

From the top of the P-rail to the top of the folded sight is right at one-half inch on the rear sight and nine-sixteenth a of an inch on the front sight. I tried mounting my scope directly to the rail but the sights were just a hair too tall and I had interference from the scope. I had to add a riser to give me clearance. But your scope may not cause problems. That's why I have you the height of the sights from the top of the rail. Overall you will not be disappointed, they are top quality sights and maintain perfect zero after countless deployments.

the question is strangely worded. The sight is meant to fit on top of a gas block that is at the sane height as the rail on the upper receiver.

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

It is a bit short of 6 inches. I have adjustable scope mounts so it doesn't bother me.

I had to buy a riser to lift the optic up a little, out of the box I had to tilt my head down to low for comfort. I don't know the actual height but it is more comfortable for quicker sight field. I believe it was a medium rise.

Sorry, I don't have the optic right in front of me at the moment for exact dimensions. This particular mount puts a magnifier at the correct height for the raised EOTech optics like my 517. It is too high for standard height( iron sight co-witness ) optics like a 512. Hope this helps. BTW this is actually a pretty solid mount for the money and has gotten a lot of use on a 5.56 AR.

What I bought is 2.5 long, 1 and 3/16 from center to center hole. Width is standard picatinny, MIL_STD_1913 rail.

I believe it is 1.59 inches or 40.39mm from top of rail to center of 30mm rings. That is what Vortex lists on their website. Not sure what your mounting but I mounted a vortex pst 6-24x50 on my M4 and I still had plenty of clearance at the objective lens end. I have two larue mounts I have used with aforementioned scope and a vortex pst 1-4x24. One is 1.44 inches to center and other is 1.5 inches to center. Both can mount the big vortex with no clearance problems. I use the LT158 Larue with 50mm scope. It has 10 MOA of downward angle to allow for more turret adjustment and 50mm end still has a few mils to spare. Hope this helps.

Its 1/2", I mounted my scope on it for my AR and it gave me the perfect elevation. Hope this helps.

The top of the rear sight is 1 1/2" above the underside of the pic. rail, and the rear peep is 1 3/8". Folded it is 1/2" above rail. Didn't actually measure the front as it appears to be identical. These work good as a primary or backup sight to a optical. I use them as a backup to a Trijicon RMR. Prior to mounting the RMR the Magpul's needed very little adjusting right out of the box. I have them mounted on a KelTec KSG and primarily shoot slugs.

I believe it is around 2 3/4" Height Over Bore. I'm running my Vortex on a Spikes Tactical 556 upper with a fixed A2 Front Sight Post. It co-witnesses perfectly in this setup. All I had to do was crank down the dot so it is just above the Front Post.

i have it on my 5.56- so yes. I will get the measurements and get back with you tomorrow evening my dude. If it helps in the mean time, i use an EOTech, military spec one, with no interference. Talk to you tomorrow.

Most likely BACK to the top of the Pic-rail. These sights are INCREDIBLE! I have mine on my Olympic Arms OA-93. Top-of-the-line accessory for a top-of-the-line firearm!Enjoy yours!
