Can you show a picture of the whole thing?
Do you have a quad rail handguard? If so, get out the hacksaw and put troy BUIS on her...or put a riser block on the rail...or better yet, replace that optic with an aimpoint T1 in larue mount. Done deal.
You need to get a bit of elevation off of the rail with the red dot sight mount (riser mount, rail spacer etc). Keep both eyes open. Get yourself some rear sights.
You need a riser.
Acta Non Verba
^^That. From what the picture shows, your optic is right on the rail. It needs more altitude, therefore a riser if the rail interface is integral to the optic. Otherwise, a 1/3 or absolute co-witness mount for the optic if the current mount isn't integral.
What the hell is that thing, anyway?
Contractor scum, AAV
You need a riser. But I wouldn't bother since your Tapco sight will break very quickly. If you wan't a budget optic go to Primary Arms.
