I have a mid length setup equipped with a factory A2 front site will this rear sight work? should there be any height issues I need to be aware of?

I installed this on a flat top A4 with the A2 fixed front sights and it works perfectly for me. Hope this helps.

The sight should work perfectly with the A2 front sight. I have the same setup.

Yes, but you'll need a picatinny riser if you have an A2 sight... otherwise you end up with a clearance issue

No. Not unless the front sight height is same as A2 front sight. The magpul one i am thinking of is low profile and is designed to use with magpul rear back up sight.

I haven't had any issues with mine. I hit the four screws with thread locker during the initial install. I have the same rifle and have not had any issues. You will be able to see your front post and enough of your rear sight to still have functional iron sights as is claimed.

I do not have any front sights on my weapon at this time. But to help i researched the product. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-strikefire-red-dot-ring-extra-high-absolute-co-witnessThe site states absolute, and i think they assume an A2 front sight on most AR-15s. However, i would measure from the base of your rail up to 37mm, then see if it makes a straight line to the tip of the A2 sight? I did'nt shine in geometry class but I think that would be a good double check to make sure. Good luck man! BTW the scope is awesome!

Yes..this front sight is mounted on my gas block, and together equals the same height as a standard m-4 front sight. NOTE: The rail on my gas block is lower than the rail on the receiver, that is why I needed this standard front sight. {they do make a short front sight for full length rails} hope this helps. joe

No I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. As long as you have an A2 front sight it should work.

Sights are "matched" for height, front and rear. Quality sights are adjustable, but there doesn't appear to be a guarantee of compatibility between manufacturers. There are specs for sights, so with no other information, if a sight is "gen2" it should work with another brand of "gen2". Best I can determine is that there is "Tall", "Medium", and "Short", called by different names by different manufacturers, and the three categories cannot be mixed front and rear. I would suggest going to the UTG website for assistance.

I beleive this will work in the application you want to use it in just watch out for the height of your rear sight.

I don't think so. The rear sight is designed to mount directly on the receiver after being drilled and tapped. The front is designed to be mounted over the factory bead sight.

im not exactly sure since i'm not familiar with your rifle. I have the standard A2 front sight and a rear magpul flip up (probably as you do). I had to switch the highrise to a shorter one (from UTG) to get a better lower 1/3 co-witness. the high rise mount the TRS-25 came with was a little high. good luck

Yes, I use it with my A2 removable handle/rear sight. It lines up great and i only had to adjust elevation slightly and it was spot on

It sure will. all rear sights are the same height. just be aware, mine has a small amount of rattle to it. As a back up it is not horrible, but if you want accuracy go with either a fixed rear or at least a magpul. If you just want an emergency backup or a range rifle, it should be fine. UTG scopes and front rails are fabulous, but their iron sights and fabric items are cheap Chinese crap.

This sight has a mil standard post just like on any other AR/m16 adjustable for elevation. Any standard mil spec post should fit just fine. You don't necessarily need a tool to adjust it. I used a small nail to depress the plunger and it worked fine, though I now have the tool. Also, choose your rear sight carefully. Some fronts and backs don't work well together This one works fine with the flip up UTG rear (which does not have elevation adjustment), but won't work with some other varieties due to their lack of elevation adjustment, or not enough adjustment to get them aligned properly.

I would assume that It would work just fine. I bought both the front and rear sight. I can tell you that they are made very well and are very durable. I have had a lot of sights before but with these sights you can aquire your target even faster.

I believe it will, but make sure your rear sight leaf is graduated at the correct number of meters. They have one graduated at 1000 or 800 you can tell by the markings on the current installed sight leaf. Good luck!
