ACOG on a AR with front sight post, any issues?

The short answer is- no, you will not be able to co-witness.

At 4x you shouldn't even see the front sight.

On my TA31F, I saw a mild blur of the FSP occasionally but it never obstructed my view. Your good to go.

You will not see the FSP. when you backup enough where the eye relief is off, then you will see it along with the killflash.

but when looking through it normally, you wont even know its there.

I do see the FSP in the field of view when looking through my ACOG. It is a distinct blur but it is in the bottom third of the view and doesn't interfere with the reticle.

This is mt experience also, there's an obvious blur but not in the wat of the reticle.
It did bug me though.

If you mount the ACOG on a carry handle the blur goes away.

I agree 100%. On occasion but no total obstruction of your view...

Here is the view down my TA31H. Just as everyone else has said, the FSP does not obstruct the view.

I used this set-up while in the Marines, you will be fine, no noticeable obstruction by the FSP

+1....the blur is very mild....The picture above looks way worse then it does with your eye.

Very true.

is that target 100 yards away or how far? that zoom looks pretty nice.

Only issue is a tiny amount of glare reflected off the front sight post every now and again. I barely notice it when I had that particular setup. I am talking in addition to the blur referred to by other members.

I use a standard red dot sight now. An Aimpoint Comp M3. My M4 is setup for CQB courses. Run and gun stuff. Most shots in those courses are up close and personal. Very few long distance shots. So the ACOG is something of a liability for that type of work. You can work around it, but why? If you are not using your rifle CQB work or training, then it doesn't matter.

If you must have an all around rifle (both CQB and semi-precission all in one) then I recommend Trijicon's Accupoint scopes. Get one starting a 1x or 1.5x going all the way upto the 4x you would get from the ACCOG (or more). That way it will work well for both CQB and medium range shots.

I have a 308 AR for my range queen. It has a 3.5-14x50 scope on it. Something to hold me over until I can afford a Leupold. So I am fine with no magnification on my 5.56mm M4. Right tool for the right job and all that. It just means my M4gery is not my bench rest rifle is all.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's 200yds. The target in the foreground looks to be 100yds.
