I have an AR15 flat top with a NM front sight base.

Question: Will mounting a scope using an Armalite rings and base mount cause any issues with a scope in alignment with the front sight?  I know at higher power one cannot see the front sight base but will this cause any issues regarding point of impact or accuracy?

It won't affect the point of aim or accuracy.
It will reduce the amount of light that gets to the scope, and for the most part it won't be enough of a change to notice.
The biggest problem I've encountered is a glare from the sight when the sun was reflecting off of it.

Thanks for the info.  I thought as much but was not sure.  I just ordered the upper and they send the wrong front gas block and I havent decided if I will send it back or cut it off or replace it.

Thanks again
