Are the Eotech and iron sights set up for an "absolute" co-witness on the Government model and if not, what type of sight picture sight picture do you get?

With an EOTech 552 and a flip rear sight mounted on the receiver, you'll have a "true" co-witness (depending on how you sight it in).

What is a true co-witness or an absolute co-witness?

My EOTech sits on top of a Dominator that obviously lowers the iron sights in the window. When I drop down and use the iron sights, the EOTech dot is right on top of the front sight. I have heard that with the Dominator you don't get true/absolute co-witness. I am unsure what that means since the EOTech dot sits on top of my iron sights. With the iron sights in the lower part of the window, when I raise up and use the EOTech alone, the iron sights don't obscure the majority of the EOTech window. Is there something to this "true/absolute co-witness that I am missing?

I thought the Government model came with the Eotech552 (No 7mm riser)?

You're correct...I made a typo (since corrected).
Thanks for catching it.
