Will this sight clear the high, fixed front sight of an M4?

Without a riser, the front sight is visible, but not a distraction. However, I don't mind it, with a rear buis you can cowitness pretty well, and almost zero the dot with your irons.

Probably not. Unless you put the sight on risers, it'll be in the field of view. I have Diamondhead flip-up sights on my KSG and they are in the middle of the sight when they are up. That is exactly what I wanted (in case the battery is dead, I can still draw a bead), but something you might not like. There are short Picatinny rails that will give you the height necessary to clear your fixed sight.

my ar is a flattop but i do not think the sightmark will clear your fixed front sight without a modified mount. it is my understanding that most people co-witness the red dot with the front sight.

I have an H&K; 91 clone and there is no problem. I have a friend that has fixed forward sight on his AR 15 and he Googled it and found an answer that someone else "did not need a riser" on his.

It should co-witness with the standard M4/AR15 front sight, if the weapon has a flat top upper.

No, not without a riser. However, mounted directly on a flat top, it cowitnesses really well.

I think you will have to use high mounts to clear, it will be close might work.

I am using this mount on that rifle and the top edge of the front sight is about at the centerline of the scope. But you can't see the front sight through the scope when looking at distant objects because its so out of focus its hardly even a blur.

Probably. I put mine on a M&P; 15-22. I used a 1/2" riser as well to clear the factory sights.

Not necessarily but you probably won't know until after the install to see how it shoots. I put this one on because the original front sight post was too high and this fixed the problem.

Hello it is hard to see there is very fine screw with flat hexagon type head this insets into the very tiny screw this is the bottom end of the sight. The answer is yes but some front sights are compressed on. The both tools are a good job. I recommend.

It should view over the front sight post no problem. I may not be 100% positive, however in my experience I have never seen a m4 platform rifle in which this sight could not see over the front sight post.

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.

Yes, I mounted a 3x9 scope on a M&P; Sport and don't notice the front sight.

It will work if your current front sight is staked in. It will not work if your front sight is in a dovetail.

That is almost exactly the set-up I have, and yes it puts the scope up high enough to clear the front sight. It seems to be well-made. I have no regrets!

No, the one I bought has a standard metal front sight. By the way, it is not very accurate. You ought to consider another rifle.

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

I have the colt m4 flat top with a standard front sight and it matches up perfectly.

Yes it will...but you may have to use a riser mount so that the sight of the scope is higher than your front sight.Also, you could remove your front sight altogether but (you would lose your ability to use iron sights then)

Yes, well depending if your front sight is snug tightly enough on your barrel. It will work just fine.

Yes, they will and remember you will need a removal tool. MGW 317 sight tool or a sightpusher.com. Take your time, hard at first ,front site is hardest.
