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...

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.

It sits great. Problem is mine came canted. Checked on my WASR and Arsenal on both canted to the right same angle . I bought it to use with red dot so was able to fix it with that. I saw some people were complaining about rail being canted. I guess just my luck. Otherwise it sits nice and snug , very low above dust cover and holds zero. I hope that was helpful

When mounted on a Weaver rail the bottom of the scope is .844 inches above the top of the rail. These rings are the right height to mount on an AR-15.

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!!

I used this riser to give me an extra half inch that i needed for my scope which worked out perfect for me. I doubt it will be to tall for you, it all depends on how much elevation you need to clear your front sight for your red dot. For a scope on the other hand , that all depends on how your specific cheekweld is in relation to how high you need your scope to sit. Hope this helps.

I would think it will work, the rail is the same. If it sits higher on the gas block you may have to shorten the sight pin if you are sighting in for longer ranges. I use a UTC red dot for close range and have my iron sights set for 100 yards.

It will probably be too tall. I love the riser though. I needed to get my scope off the upper rail just high enough to be able to put the scope protective caps on. Works like a champ and brings it up to eye level for me. Maybe consider ditching the iron sights you have now and switch to magpuls offset sights. Little pricy but that's what I did. Hope this helps good luck.

Thay are about 1/2" tall when folded. I had to get a 1/2" raiser for the scope to fit with them.

The red dot optic sight is the same. I wondered the same thing , Ive bought them both ways now... for some reason the sight that came with the riser was cheaper... Ihad a 3rd Bushnell also, it didnt hold up well on large caliber semi auto slide.. Ihave one on a Buckmark and a Smith .22A works very well for 100.00.

I had to buy a riser to lift the optic up a little, out of the box I had to tilt my head down to low for comfort. I don't know the actual height but it is more comfortable for quicker sight field. I believe it was a medium rise.

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.

well also bought the mechanically fixed HiViz sights they work are are helpful. depending on if you have a rail or smooth barrel would decide the type but in either case the rail mount winds up being about 18" apart when targeted with a laser bore sighting tool. Its just slaps on but sighting is another store.

My scope (nikon 4-12x40 BDC) sits high enough using the SPR for the magpul folding rear sight to be folded under it (no way or reason to flip it up with the scope mounted). I typically mount the scope before I go to the range and take it off (love the thumbnuts) when I leave, and rely on the flip-ups for home defense. The front of my 40mm scope sits just above the magpul rail covers (ladders), maybe 1/4" gap. I also have a IWC QD mount on my top rail just in front of the cantilever portion of the mount.

It was designed for the gas block rail that sets lower in height than the standard height rail found on any AR15's upper receiver. Assists in providing the proper height to your front sight picture for proper alignment with your rear sight. Extremely useful for standard DPMS upper receivers with a gas block rail that is not of the same height as the receiver's rail. Worked out very well for me. Hope that helped.

The sight height of the mounted scope is 1.5 inches ( about 38 mm) above the c/l of the dovetail groove. (Not the bore) Therefore the bottom of the 40 mm scope is 18 mm above the same c/l. Extra info: The center of the 3/4 highx1inch See-Thru elliptical hole is about 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) above the same groove. These were measured thru the clear packaging. I like the rings and have bought them before. Do try switching them around and also reversing them front to back on the gun for closest alignment and less work lapping. I mark the four assembly pieces and direction to muzzle before lapping because sooner or later they will be disassembled and these are not machined as well as mounts 5-6 times the price. Marking and lapping make them a great choice. The package does not mention lapping but it is worthwhile. . All mounts should be lapped. It takes stress from the scope and they work much better.

Sorry, I don't have the optic right in front of me at the moment for exact dimensions. This particular mount puts a magnifier at the correct height for the raised EOTech optics like my 517. It is too high for standard height( iron sight co-witness ) optics like a 512. Hope this helps. BTW this is actually a pretty solid mount for the money and has gotten a lot of use on a 5.56 AR.

It took some digging, but the optical centerline of the Redfield is 40.4 mm above the top of the picatinny rail. The UTG multiplier, also available on Amazon, is almost a perfect match at 40.0 mm. I had to search for that information and call the manufactures. It's absurd that they don't publish the only essential piece of useful data that would allow you determine the compatibility of these red dots and multipliers.
