Does the front sight need to be removed?

Depends. If you install it on a S&W MP15-22 or similar - NO. However if you put it on an AR15 with Raised Sights, you will need to add a spacer rail to raise the scope above your current sights if you do not want to remove them. You can also buy a 30 or 45 degree adaptor and mount the scope to that rail, allowing you to use both the scope and current sights. Cheaper Than Dirt, or Midway both carry these.

No, it doesn't. Mine fits just fine, I didn't have to remove my front site.

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

You can keep the front sight on, the top handguard installs from the top, and doesn't affect the front sight. fyi - when removing the original rail from the reciever, don't lose the small black metal disc & spring from the bottom of the backup rear sight.

Yes, you would need tall mounts to clear over the front sight though. Good luck getting it dialed in.

No. This tool is for removing the main three pins of the trigger component group. The front sight requires a different tool and the rear sight requires a larger no mar drift punch.

It depends on the gun. However on my AR it did NOT clear the front sight post. I moved it to my AR 10 without the fixed sight post. I will also like to add that it is a very good product and highly recommend it.

No. You do not have enough run out on the front sight, front & rear have to be very close to level,at differnt ranges this hight will realy come to bare.

If you are talking about an A2 style fixed front sight, than YES, you ABSOLUTELY need a riser mount to clear the front sight with this scope. The included quick detach mount is very low profile, and if you mount directly to the receiver rails the front sight post will totally block your view if you have an A2 style front sight. I had to buy a 1 inch riser for it to clear the A2 sight

Yes, these are for the front sight. A tool will be needed to remove and install this part.I use them on my Magpul BUS...Backup sights..

Yes you do, the rear base has to be drilled and tapped and aligned properly. The original bead sight that is elevated by a small platform, (on a standard Remington barrel) the bead will be removed then the trijicon will be dropped into place with epoxy and a pin. The pin just adds additional reliability so your front sight isn't just relying on epoxy to hold it.

You should be able to keep and use the front sight. The Samson rail tucks in under the lip of the gas block.

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.

On mine it was, I took it off, but if you remount it at the same place it's OK. If you want iron sights again.

Yes your rear sights are left installed. However you can no longer easily look/use them.

Depends on what you have but it should not interfere with the front sight. I have this on a shotgun and it does not interfere with anything.

No. I had to take the iron sights off. The high point front sight sticks up too high. It would be in your scopes view.

The SeeAll sight does not require a separate front sight. It functions sort of like a red dot, except that you do NOT look "through" the sight. The intended target is viewed on top of the "point" of the sight, like iron sights.
