Looking to use with "MaTech Mil-Spec Back-up Iron Sight (B.U.I.S)", planning to use with "rail height" gas block, will this work?

I dont believe it is high enough this sight's front post tip sits about 1 3/4 from my rail you might have to use a rail riser

I believe it woyld be too high. My gas black was lower than my rear rail on my DPMS Oracle.

If you're looking for a 'rail height' UTG flip sight, search Amazon for this product: B004SH1I7U

this rail is to long to mount on a gas block. check out midwayusa they have more choices.

The height of the front sight would matter. Many are pretty generic and will work just fine. Just make sure the sight is correct for gas block or regular flat top mounting. If zeroed properly, the ranges selector will be pretty close. Bear in mind that it's an estimated reference. Weight of the projectile and amount of powder load will cause variations. The sight is fine for most general purposes. pretty durable overall...I like them.

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

Should work fine-flip up is for low mount gas block, not "same plain", otherwise rear sight works with either.

Depends on the height of the mount. This is roughly the same height as a standard gas block front sight

If you have a rail height gas block then mount it there. I like to have the sights as far apart as possible - I get better MOA.

Yes any Troy rear sight will be level with your front gas block mounted sight. The block mounted sight is higher than your standard rail mount to make up for the distance between the gas block and rail. Hope this helps, btw these are excellent backups.

I had to use a half inch riser, and I mounted my flip up rear sight to co witness with my 30mm dot sight. It does screw up the iron sights when the rear sight is raised that half an inch.

It depends on the hight of the gas block. There are different size sights based on the hight of your gas block.

No. Keep it on the rail, don't put it on the gas block if the gas block rail is lower. Your sights won't line up like they should if you do.

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.

I have mine attached to the gas block, It depends if you have weaver/pic rail on it

I believe it will work. My rifle also has a railed gasblock and it works fine in mine.

Magpul doesn't recommend it. When I do mount a front sight to a gas block I use Midwest industries. They have a gas block height specific sight.

Depends on how tall the iron sights are. I measured 32mm from center of scope to bottom of iron sight hole on the scope ring and 7mm from bottom of hole to dovetail. So if your iron sights are shorter than 14mm, you should be good.

It should fit just fine it only takes up about 3 rail slots, it would however, be a little bit on the bulky side if you were to mount it to the top of your gas block.
