Will this sight line up with a standard carrying handle when mounted on an even plain gas block?

I don't think its tall enough because I bought the rear sight also and they both sit on a flatop plain and match up.

Yes..this front sight is mounted on my gas block, and together equals the same height as a standard m-4 front sight.NOTE: The rail on my gas block is lower than the rail on the receiver, that is why I needed this standard front sight. {they do make a short front sight for full length rails} hope this helps. joe

I have mine mounted on a midwest industries free floating hand guard. I took my Colt AR and lined it up side by side with the barrels level and both sights were the same hight.

I don't think so. If your rear sight is on a carry handle, this front sight will be on a lower sight plane and you will be unable to adjust for proper sight alignment. You will need a standard raised front sight if using a carry handle rear sight.

The sight sits kinda high above your rail, so yes, you should be fine. Mine has a flat front gas book and so front sights would not be an issue for me. It may be visible if you have a raised front gas block, but should not obstruct your crosshairs.

Not sure about the lowered gas block but I don't think these will co -witness with a red dot. You would need the standard height ones.

As long as the sight post clears the gas block yes, if it's an A style standard gas block no it will not

Im sorry. I forgot to mention that this sight is intended for low profile gas blocks such as the type on the model 3 stag arms. The low profile blocks can be recognized by the gas block rail surface will be lower than the sight rail surface on the upper of your ar.

You should be able to keep and use the front sight. The Samson rail tucks in under the lip of the gas block.

Not sure, took the carry handle off A3 and put the utg and a scope on works fine. The front sight shows in the scope but does not cause any problem.

I'm not sure what you're talking about here, but these sights have nothing to do with the gas block. These sights mount on the top or side rail and locate the "sight" at a 45 deg. angle thereby clearing the scope.

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.

If you are talking about a standard carry handle, the answer is NO. This requires a Picatinny rail to mount to. If your carry handle somehow has that ability then it should work.

It's standard height so should work with any standard height carry handle sight.

Yes it will, had to do some basic alignment, no gun smithing required, solid mount

Yes, completely, if mounted immediately adjacent. Spread out the sight and magnifier on the rail and you'll have fitting issues.

I use an A4 carry handle with a Tapco adapter and it works great so I can switch between the red dot and the iron sights. The actual sight itself is not high enough to clear standard front iron sights.
