I have a Colt LE6920 with an EoTech 512 and Magpul MBUS flip-up sight. Will I have enough room for this, or will I have to give up my iron sights?

I really can't tell you yes or no because I did not evaluate that combination of hardware but what I can tell you is I went to the dealer and we mounted it all up right there prior to me purchasing the magnifier because I really did not know at that time if it would all fit or not. I would recommend the same advice to anyone who has such a question. I hate having to return stuff and so I do the research up front. My Troy built iron sights do fold down and the rear one fit really nice under the magnifier.

I have a 556, not a 512. Main diff is the quick detach on 556 I think. It is not recomended to overhang the 556. I would test whether you would be comfortable overhanging your 512 before I would assume it fits. Test whether it seems secure enough if about half was hanging over yout delta ring. IMO, I wouldnt. If SHTF, and eotech fails, you can still use center of glass to line up frony sight for shooting. Will work at close quarters.

I have an M&P; AR 15T with an EXPS2-0 and G33.STS. No problem with the iron sights.

I also have magpul sights on my ACR and they sit low enough for the g33 to pass right over them.

Yes, with the iron sight at the rear of the rail and the EoTech 512 at the very front of the rail with the battery box extending out past the front of the rail, which is normal and perfectly fine, the EoTech magnifier will sit nicely in the middle of the rail.

Claudia,I just checked and no, not tall enough, not with my big Nikon Buckmaster 4.5x14x44. I have the magpull polymer flip up sights (not sure if gen 2) that I got about 10 months ago. They WILL fit on my Rock River AR that I have a Burris PERP mount and big Vortex Diamondback 3.5x10x50 on because it is taller than the TMS mount. I would get the Burris PERP if you really want the Magpul sights backing up a scope. Those Magpul sights work great with the Vortex SPARC red dot scope; co witness just fine, when I use them on my AR's.

I believe it will mount just fine- you may not have much of a picture of the front iron sight using the peep holes though.

It will be tight. I have a Colt LE6920 with an AIM Point PRO and a 10 round mag and the gun barely fits in the safe side ways. The gun also has a Magpul forend grip as well.

I currently have an AR15 equipped with an EoTech, vertical grip, and a 30round mag in the magazine well. There isn't a lot of extra room but it fits fine like this.

I have a GG&G 1281 Flip Up Front Sight. They work well together. Make sure that if you go that route, pick the sight that fits what your gun has. Some gas blocks are lower than the plane of where the rear sight mounts. If that's the case, choose the one that specifies "for gas block mounting." Mine happens to be the same plane all the entire length of the rifle, so this one worked fine. It's all aluminum and matches the finish on my rifle very well. Flip ups are nice when you opt to run optics also. Likewise, for red dots, it can cowitness if desired. A good red dot will not require a cowitness. The sight pops up with authority and locks in place. Once locked, it's very solid and steady. To fold, just press the button once more and fold it down...again solid engagement. There are many other sights to choose from. Some excessively high dollar ones that do the same job. As a Soldier with over 24 years experience with this particular platform and various sights and optics, as long as it's zeroed properly and remains undamaged, it'll perform better than the shooter for years to come. The front sight tool that this sight uses is the four prong one. For only a few bucks, it's worth buying it as well. The other option is to use a nail or the tip of a bullet to depress and move the sight as needed...usually causing little scratches where the tool does not. Hope this helps. Hit me up if you ever have more questions that I may possibly have an answer to.

Yes, it's an almost immeasurable amount larger. It won't affect your holster fit at all. Most of the difference is in dot size, not sight size.

It co-witnessed fine (absolute) with an F marked A2 front sight post (PSA upper) and Matech BUIS rear (should be same height at MBUS). It also co-witnessed with YHM flip up (gas block & sight) as well as with a MBUS front- both with Matech rear sights. Hope this helps. Good luck.

If you have a rail height gas block then mount it there. I like to have the sights as far apart as possible - I get better MOA.

i used a utg rear flip sight with it, that's probably your best bet. since they are made by the same company they can be used easily used together!

You may have noticed that the UTG Medium Profile Riser Mount with 3 slots was listed along with this sight and that mount is generally good to co-witness your AR-15 iron sights. I have had to also use the Low Profile version on some guns but Medium should be fine.

By raising the scope you can use a lower power scope, which will allow you to use at short range and still be able to have your iron sights as backup. I would talk to others and maybe take a look at their comments.

Yes you will if you want the iron sights, I put it on a DPMS Panther and used a carry handle with back sights for clearance, sighted the iron sights to 90 yards and the scope to 250 yards. It's pretty comfortable, I went with a Truglow front sight to dress up the iron sights.

The eye relief is too short to use a flip rear sight. However, being an old guy, don't need iron sights. Try using the 45 degree side mounts for you iron sights. Go 3 gun set up. Excellent scope for the money!

It should fit just fine. According to the directions, you might need to use a flat file on the bottom of the sight in order to make it fit correctly. I had to use one on mine.

I have 2 XD weapons, a full size .45 and a compact 9mm and it fits both of them. The biggest issue you are gonna have is getting the old sights out. I advise paying a gunsmith. As far as I know XD's have a flat blade on the base of the sights? These do too.
