Does mounting this affect the ability to use iron sights in any way?

The B Square mount itsself does not interfere with the ability to use the iron sights. You cannot use the sights when the scope is mounted. There is no see through. The scope mounting rings actually block the sights,but then I have the scope mounted!

Though not familiar with the M-4 it may work work well mounted w/ iron sights--but that depends on the sight configuration-if they can be removed or flipped down.. Best bet would be an under or side mount. Sight does come with a mount that I've found to be quite adaptable. Have had no problem with rifle mount, i.e. Steel Force. Good luck! Snip

I've had no issue, I checked this against the iron sights before installing a different configuration and it seemed to be spot on.

It is considered a high mount, providing proper clearance and eye position. If you have a fixed sight and low power setting on your scope, you will be able to see that front sight. You might try a folding front sight to cure that problem. If you are trying to co-witness iron sights and scope, it will not work right, because of magnifying effect, even thou the height will be right.

Yes. You can cowitness your iron sights and the Scope. I use the lowest scope-mounts on it.

I mounted that exact set-up and had good results. It depends a bit on the iron sights, but if you're using the stock sights then it should be no problem.

Depends on your back up iron sights. Diffrent heights require different mounts. My flip up soghts needed the cantilever mount in order for the sight to be cowitness

Yes, it can. However, you have to forego the top rail. If you are going to continue to use the iron sights, then you will be able to use stripper clips. However, if you use the top rail on this stock set or if you drill and tap your receiver for a scope, you'll be unable to use stripper clips.

If you are referring to the front sight "co-witnessing" through the reticle in your scope, I can't say for certain since my recent build has "NO" iron sights, just a scope. I know this mount is specifically designed for the AR platform to allow what you are talking about. Sorry I couldn't be more help

Yes. I keep one on top of my AR right in front on my rear sight and it does not obstruct my ability to use the iron sights. In fact, it makes it much better. I made a YouTube video review of this light with it on an AR. Search Hilight P5S review there. This is a great little light.

no, it won't. However, my clone was built without a rear sight and i removed the front sight and replaced it with a low-profile gas block in order to use a longer forearm rail system. didn't need the iron sights as this scope has them built in above the optics. zoom in on the pic and you can see them. these sights are way better, in my opinion, to the iron sights that are usually found on 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.

I would only reccommend it with pop up sights. My pop up sights align w the center of the optic where the dot would be if the battery fails. Then I can flip up the front sight and use it. If your iron sights are fixed, it may obstruct your vision of the red dot.

unsure tom, but i have a see thru mount to allow a scope and iron sights at the same time, they work well set at 50yds for me with it, and i imagine the clearances would be the same for you. i would suggest a different mount personally.

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

You should have no problem mounting whatever optics you choose, once the new rail has been installed

No. This has not been an issue for me on my M1A Loaded version. I have shot 500+rounds with this mount on.
