If you have a Ruger AR556 with an A2 Front Sight Gas Block it will need to be removed and replaced with a low profile gas block in order for you to use a magnified optic like the Vortex Diamondback. The Monstrum Slim Profile Series Offset Picatinny Scope Mount, will work with a Vortex Diamondback scope if it has a 30mm tube.
