What is the folded height of this sight from the top of a rail? I need one that is .475 (just over 7/16) or lower so my laser on my Redfield scope will clear. Also my gas block is the same height as my receiver so these will work? Lastly these are for guns and not just airsoft? What is the folded height of this sight from the top of a rail?

Not for toys, but I would go with something better for my AR.. Namely something that's not made in ChinaHaven't got it in front of me, but its quite chunky.

This is for a real AR yes. The folded height from the top of a ladder on the rail is just shy of 3/4 inch. It is bulky as some have said but so are almost all sights. A small riser for your scope would work if you want that route or the 45 angle sights could be an option. A low profile gas block might also work. These particular sights do not meet your original questions specs however.

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.

Absolutely not! I bought a pair and my gas block is approximately 3/16" lower than than the receiver rail and, after trying all adjustments possible, I could not even come close to getting any type of accuracy alignment I then tried user a 1/2" riser on the gas block and the same problem arose due to the front now being higher! The gas block and receiver rail MUST be virtually 100% identical in height!

I dont remember the height, but it works great for rail mounting and WILL NOT work if you want to put it on a low pro gas block.

Compare the dimension for your weapon and a comparable weapon (Sig model) on the Sig Sauer site with the vertical holster model you are looking at. I'm assuming you are referring to a lower rail which is standard on lots of newer Sig models. I like the vertical for a full size auto, I have one for a P226 and a FHN 5.7. Also, if you get the holster or any from Galco I recommend getting their Draw-Ez product. It will save you a lot of break in time and scratches on your weapon.

Hey Sweet, sorry to keep you waiting. I've been traveling for work all week and just got in. I measured the bag, and confirmed the height is 12 by 42 length. I have carbine with a six position stock so it fits very well. For optics, I have a Bushnell TRS-25 sitting on top of a mid-height riser. Due to how small my rifle is, I think I could probably fit a 10x50mm scope on top of the rail and still have room in this bag. Is your gun rifle length, or is it a carbine with a rifle length rail? I am building another one and I want to do a low profile gas block with a free-floating rifle length rail. I think that's really slick looking! Hey Sweet, sorry to keep you waiting.

The height of the front sight would matter. Many are pretty generic and will work just fine. Just make sure the sight is correct for gas block or regular flat top mounting. If zeroed properly, the ranges selector will be pretty close. Bear in mind that it's an estimated reference. Weight of the projectile and amount of powder load will cause variations. The sight is fine for most general purposes. pretty durable overall...I like them.

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.

I have it on my gas block, the elevation adjustment would not drop enough for the uphill range I use outside of town. It seemed okay on the rail for more level firing and closer shots. Hope this is some help.

While folded I measured from the top of the rail and it comes just under the 1/2 inch mark. Hope this helps.

I run one on a flat top ar15 on a 45 degree angle as a backup sight. I don't know anything about a SCAR, but I know that it holds zero on my ar well after 400 rounds down range. I had to look around to find a mount that would angle to drop the sight on the bore axis. I got my 45 mount from Amazon.

For the rail you only need about 1 1/8 inch. So if you are attaching to a low pro gas block need will need it exposed, when folded the measurement is 2 inch total unobstructed. By the way, I love these sights!!

it depends if your mounting your front sight on the end of a free float handguard or mounting directly on your barrel with a gas block. If your mounting on a free float hand guard, then your front sight is going to be way off, even if you use same plane or low plane BUIS. I mounted mine with a gas block because the aiming plane of my rifle looked more in line rather than the aiming plane looked high when mounted on my hand guard.

It's hard to say as I have a red dot on there now. I just looked from the barrel back towards the stock and then rail looks higher than the sight. It may block it.

I couldn't honestly tell you if it will clear a "triangle gas block" cause all I can think of as a triangle gas block is the front sight and gas block in one. If that's what you have I again couldn't speak to the compatibility of this scope mount with a actual front sight seeing as I have a flat top. I would how ever recommend a 45 degree off set scope mount if you have a front sight, and add a rear sight and your red-eye to engage down range as most any distance. If I hadn't gotten the flat top that would have been my set up of choice. Happy trails and may your bullets always go bang.

Most airsoft scopes won't fit on it; I had a hard time finding a scope that fit it. I recommend taking off the rail and taking it somewhere to buy the scope in person so you can see if it fits before buying it. The rail is approximately 1 inch wide.

I mounted an LER scope that came with rings. I imagine that any rings that attach to a Picatinny rail will do. I never had an issue with scope height because the Archangel stock has an adjustable cheek rest. I also used a laser boresight before ever trying the rifle on the range. With a few adjustments on the range I was able to get around 1-2 MOA at 100 yards in less than 50 rounds.

I would think 1/2" but to be on the safe side buy 2-3 different heights. You can find them pretty cheap here on amazon but honestly I would recommend saving up money for an entry level aimpoint to co-witness your AR. From what I've read and ex military personnel that I have met they say they are durable and would recommend buying an aimpoint.
