The Millet DMS-1 is the 1x4, right? If so and if you go with a LaRue mount, you need the SPR-E, not the standard SPR. You'll want the extra length. I have the Burris XTR 1-4 and it's specs are very similar to the DMS.
With the scope set at 1x, the front sight will be easily visible but not in focus. It is not really problematic but I found it quite distracting. At 4x the front sight disappears.
You can replace the standard FSB with a low profile gas block with a folding front sight, or a Yankee Hill unit that is an integrating gas block and folding front sight (I really like mine).
