Default What is the correct height picatinny gas block?

I am going to remove my standard A2 sight to mimic the optics ready version of the AR15. I am going to use a sightmark reflex scope and my question is what height does the gasblock need to be in order be sure my sights all line up?

Choose "same plane" to match with a standard height rear sight.
"Same plane" means it's the same height as the rail on your receiver.

Yes. This is the one I would get: Front Flip Sight Tower, Standard w/o Bayonet Lug

If you want just the gas block, get this one: Railed Bull Barrel Gas Block
