ok, so the rear flip ip will line up with my front sight when I mount a rear flip up sight on mt A2 rail? My rifle is model MT6400C . How much of a rise wil I need on my scope mount to overcome the front sight? Will that effect the scope at 0-200 yards?

OK, lets take this one at a time, the front sight will not affect your scopes vision, it is to close to the scope and should not affect the view, I am trying to find an article I have some where on it. As for the height of the scope mount that is entirely up to your preference, I have the LT-135, which is 1.93" to the center of my scope, I like to be off the gun because it is an AR-10 which has more kick than the M4 and it clears the ERS sight, I would suggest you look at any other rifles that you have and determine what is comfortable for you. The one I suggested (LT-104) is 1.5 to the center of the optic. If you go with that one, YOU will need a rear sight that lays flatter than my ERS, that is why I suggested the SPLP rear sight for you.
When you decide on the free float hand guard you will have to remove the front sight post and install a low profile or railed gas block. Oh I was going to tell you that what you have, by some is considered an A3, because an actual A2 has a carry handle receiver and the handle can not be removed.
An A4 has the railed receiver and a railed gas block, where yours has a railed receiver (with a bolt on carry handle) and an A2 front sight post, hence the A3.

First off, thanks for all this help, I really appreciate it.
I do plan on replacing the foreend and gas block, so I will buy my flip up sights when that time comes.

How much do you want to spend on a scope???, the mount is going to run you about 200. And I would suggest buying a rear sight for your rifle, never know when it might come in handy, you can always do the rest later.

Well Zabby, for 600.00 I would go with the SPLP rear sight from Midwest industries, the LaRue QD LT-104 Mount and a Leupold Mark AR scope, you should be able to get them all for that amount of change, give or take 50.00

Scope

Mount

Rear sight--- www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?f...play&category_id=173

These links should hook you up, hope this has helped and good luck, and post a picture when you get it done.
