ACOG optic on M4 with a flattop Picatinny rail, I can see the front sight trough the optics

I have a ? for you AR guys. I currently have a M4 with a flattop Picatinny rail. I mounted am ACOG 4x32 Trijicon optic on the rail. I can see the front sight trough the optics. Is this normal? do I have to change the front sight to eliminate this problem or do you just deal with it.
thanks

The magnification of the ACOG scopes actually "zooms out" past the front sight. The sight will be visible as a light blur in the bottom of the scope. It will not affect the operation of the optic or the rifle in any way.
