i have a red dot sight that sits to low. would this bring it up enough to have lower 1/3 co witness with f marked front sight?

I'm not 100% sure as mine doesn't have a front sight. I removed it for a 12" handguard. It does raise the scope to a natural comfortable shooting height for me though.

It looks like that scope comes with a high mount. If you get the UTG Max Strength LE Grade Quick Detach Picatinny Rings (2-Pieces, 30mm Diam, Hi Profile) you will probably also need to get 26mm ring inserts, PRI Polymer Ring Inserts - 30mm to 26mm or a better option might be one of these risers, http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_15?url=search-alias%3Dsporting&field-keywords;=picatinny+riser+mount&sprefix;=picatinny+riser%2Csporting%2C251&rh;=n%3A3375251%2Ck%3Apicatinny+riser+mount, I had to use one on my AR-15 with a Simmons Predator Quest scope even with the UTG High profile mounts because I could not get a nice full picture through the scope without burying my cheek into the cheek weld of my stock.

Probably on the onset no.....but you should be able to adjust the red dot scope to align with the center post. That's what I did.

It doesn't have the same height as the front sight on my standard mil-spec flat top ar15 front sight. I bought this based on these answers saying it was the correct height but it isn't high enough without buying a 1/2" riser

I have a standard front sight but I replaced the post with a tritium filled one from meprolight. Just make sure whichever one you pick that it is adjustable for elevation as this rear sight only adjusts for windage and distance.

it sets ptetty low. it actually sets a little lower than an L-3 EOTech on one of my other guns. when I 1st mounted this unit I'm pretty sure I set the sight by putting the dot on top of the front sight and I was pretty close to right. I have since changed out the gas block on that rifle, so I can't go check it. but yes your front sight is visable thru the lense. rear sight no. if you was a set of functional iron sights to use with this as. a back uo, you will have to go with a set of off set aux. irons. but the Mepolight has a quick disconnect mount, comes off with two flicks of the thumb.

If the bottom of the large reticle is about 1-1/4" off the rail this front sight should work.

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

I am actually not sure, about a year ago I bought a Comp M3 w/Larue LT129 Mount which is a true 1/3 co witness. After buying the comp M4s w/QRP2 mount I am much happier, as the optic sits a little bit lower. I have BUIS and keep them folded down most of the time anyway. However, when the BUIS are flipped up and the M4s is sighted the red dot sits on top of the FSP. I have since sold my Comp M3 and the Larue Mount. Much happier with this setup and by the way, this is the current military issue from Aimpoint. I love mine...

No, factory mount is low, you need an AR co-witness height mount. I like american defense mounts, larue tends to dig into the sides of your rail.

Yes. This is a flat top sight to match F-marked front sights. I have the same configuration.

It will sit on the top pof the rail so yes more than likely you will see the front sight post in the scope. Really I regret buying this scope. Save up for a better scope. It is poorly made.

I used this to mount a red dot for the same problem that you are describing. The AR I mounted it on has an integrated front iron sight. Like you are describing it interferes but I am not going to be the fool that screws with a iron sight from the SigSauer factory. This rail perfectly raises the sight just above the front sight so that the sight is usable and not a problem. This is definately the way to go. Hopefully I have answered the question let me know if not.

Yep that's what I have it on. F mark is the standard front sight. This will be the right height.

I have these sights with a red dot with a 1 inch riser and they work "ok" I wouldnt rely on them being perfect but it's one of those things, "you get what you pay for" if I were to do it again I'd find a better quality iron sight. remember these are for lowered gas blocks I have a DPMS Oracle. FYI Panther is the manufacturer you should include the model so we know what you're working with, good luck!

Yes, in that you can run this without impacting the functionality of your fixed front sight. I run this without an elevated riser. The front post does not get in the way and co-witness is achievable with a fixed front sight.

On flat top ARs the green dot sits a little bit above the front sight post but not by much. Not one of the fiber optic sights I have used co-witness with front sights.

I have an F-marked front site base and Magpul flip-up rear. With this setup I have no co-witness. I had to order a mid riser to see through it at all.
