Gopher like you I am new to the AR game. Never really was excited by them but decided to get one before the November election excitement. Still a bit skeptical about it but what the heck. Mine is a flattop with no sights, but despite having no sights the stock design requires a high sight line. I bought a set of weaver see thru quad locks and they worked quite well. My brother has also been dealing with his new AR which has an A2 style front sight. We tried the mounts on his rifle and they provided enough clearance so that with a std. 4x style hunting scope the front sight isn't visiable thru the scope. I now have another set of the see thru mounts on order for me. The other nice thing is they are under $20 on eBay.
