Question about mounting a scope on an AR.......

[SgtMojo67]

I was thinking of putting a Redfield Battlezone scope on my AR......As for the AR, it is a Colt 6920 with a fixed A2 front sight. Do I NEED to remove the front sight and put a railed gas block on there or will it be okay with it on? Thanks for your help fellas!

I had a Burris mtac mounted on an ar with an a2 sight and it wasn't in the way.

I had some really tall rings though.

Using the newer Convex lenses on scopes today, which are designed to see around the front post. Some people the post will bother. If you look real hard you will see the post as a blurred area. Try to always look past the post and not fixate on it, and you will be okay. The older scopes did not have the convex lense, and they were a problem in this area.

Good luck.

It shouldnt be an issue.
