Here is what I am trying to figure out.  When you put a scope on an AR-15 or AR-10 that has the high front sight, doesent it get in the way of the sight picture?  Does anyone have a picture of what it looks like when looking through the scope of something with this kind of setup?

Here is what im talking about.  And these are the 3 rifles that im in love with, well 2 are the same persons he just changed the scope, but I want the DPMS Tac 20, im just curious how it looks through the scope on this...

You won't even see it...not an issue

No.

The front sight is inside the distance the scope can focus to. If you really look for it you can see a little blurring/dimness at the bottom edge of the FOV of the scope.

Well that cleared all that up, thanks a ton guys!  I am still debating on if I wanted a fluted bull barrel with no front sight, or if i wanted the Tac 20 that has the quad rail already on there with the front sight...

The bipod on the first AR is on backwards.

You won't see it on many scopes but it seems to reduce some of the light content on my scope.  It is not near enough to warrant it as an issue.

No it's not.

The way it's installed now if you lean into the rifle a bit the bipod will stay up.

If you installed the way you want, if you leaned in to the rifle the bipod would collapse (which is NOT a 'good thing').

On mine, I have an Aimpoint ML2 and, since there is no magnification, you can sight right through the glass.  With a regular scope, you won't see the front site because it's too close to the objective lens but you'd have to flip the scope off to use the BUIS.

Nice rifles!

I just put a 1-4x24 on mine.  You can somewhat clearly make out the FSB on 1 power (out of focus, but very easy to see).  By the time you get to 2 power (or maybe slightly more) you can no longer see the FSB.  You do need to make sure the centerline of the scope is above the center line of the FSB.

Yes it is !
If you lean into the bipod on the 1st pic it will collapse backwards.
They are made to fold forward.
It's on right in the 2nd 2 pictures.

This has been my experience...I went with a flip because it did seem to degrade the brightness of my FOV.
