Do these rings allow the scope to co-witness with the standard m4 fixed front sight. I did not see this in the reviews

Yes they do, just put them on a weaver 1-3x V3 scope on a flat top, mid length, Rock River Arms AR-15. Fits entirely on the receiver's picatinny rail (no need for more rail on your forearm) and clears the folded up Mag-Pul MBUS sights underneath the bell. Co-witness with standard front sight post beautifully, very sturdy (albeit a bit heavy). Perfect for an AR-15 platform with 1-4x scope.

Your right about the guard ring. I don't even see it when I'm sighting. I don`t think it helps in sighting as I consternate on the pins. I do like this sight.

Yes, you will be able to co-witness the factory sights. I have an M&P 40 and tried my sights on it. Just order the one with the mounting plates. Very easy to install.

Any front sight will work fine. I use the stock M4 gas block/front sight. I can look through my red-dot and sight righjt through it. If the red dot gets broken, I can pop it off and use the Matech and stock front sight. Works great.

Nope - the front sight assembly (much later, because of the baoynet) on the M44 is different, as far as I'm aware.

It sits pretty high on the rail so co-witnessing will be a problem unless you have aftermarket sights possibly using a riser to bump them a little higher. I'm pretty sure that it won't co-witness with any stock sights on a firearm.

Yes there is. If your scope is a true 1-4x it will Co witness with back up iron sights on an ar. That is with a 30mm tubed optic. I don't know how many MOA it actually is. Good question. I will get the measurement tonight

I don't know of any sight that will co-witness through this mount. It just sits too high on the weapon. Instead, I put a DMP5 red dot sight on my MP5 22. It self mounts to the gun, is reostaticly controlled and co-witnesses perfectly. Price is reasonable also. Hope this helps.

They should work with your scope fine. I'm not sure what type of base you are planning on using on your rifle,but the scope rings should work for you.

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, because of the magnification the front site disappears. It will not be a problem, if you use a low power scope (1-4) you may be able to co-witness

Good question Doug. No special rings needed, you should be able to get the base and rings at your local Dicks Sporting Goods (or any other store that handles firearm accessories.) The important consideration is whether or not you want to still be able to use the iron sights...if you do, you'll need to purchase rings that let you look underneath the actual scope mount. These are called "shoot thru" rings. I do not recommend them but some hunters insist on being able to use the iron sights. Hope this helps! -Mike

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

They work on most normal rifles to get you over the front sight. I ordered a set to use with my top rail riser to get over my AK 47 front sight which sets much higher.

I mounted it with the "CCOP MNT-1516 High Profile AR-ArmourTac Rifle Scope Mount Rings for Picatinny Rail, 30mm"If you're talking about fixed front and back iron sites this might be an issue. I have flip up iron sites and when flipped up they do block the scope.

Correct you will need the riser for 1/3 co witness. If you are shooting with both eyes open as you should even without the riser and absolute co witness you really don't see the front sight. My rear sight is fold down so that isn't an issue.

These sights are quick detach sites so you can pull the scope off and quickly transition to the MBUS. I use mine with a scout scope, so I can't co-witness the hard sights with the scope.
