If this were on the dust cover with no sight attached could the Iron sights still be used? Also, how long is the actual rail?

Trent, Are you talking about having this scope on a Mosin? If so, you must remove the rear sight to install the rail the scope attaches to. That rail is 4 inches. So, you cannot use the iron sights with this scope installed on a Mosin. BTW, this scope has a very long eye relief which is perfect for the Mosin.TC

You have to take off the rear sight to put the rail in its place- so no you can't use the iron sights. I think the rail is about 6" long, but you can cut off any excess

there is no rail included you have to buy the rail separatenot sure what you mean by "if this were on the dust cover" You have to remove the rear sight to install the rail - so you won't have any iron sights

The type of rail you use will decide if the iron sights are usable. I have the Brass Stacker rail and yes, I can use the iron sights too.

Are you referring to an AK dust cover? You would not be able to use any iron sights through the scope lens, as it would be very very blurry (there is no 1x power at which all things are in focus). It sounds to me like you would need extra-tall see-through scope rings, or an elevated see-through mount. (Even though I use an elevated see-through mount, it's pretty much pointless to try to use the iron sights (there's just not enough view).

The scope mounts very close to the rifle with the rings that are included. Also the scope is too long with a short eye relief so you will not have room for any iron sights. I ended mounting some offset iron sights and they work surprisingly well.

hey jason, I ended up with this set after returning another. the key is the the rail at the scope mount is the right size. I put it on a low cost savage arms .22 rifle it did the trick and still allows me to utilize the iron sights if I want. The best thing to do is find out amazons distributor and give them a call and ask. Thats what I did when I ordered the second ones. Nice gun that henry golden boy. i almost bought one but decided to go a bit more economical

The rear is not tall enough to work with fixed A2 front sight. You'll have to mount it on a riser rail, prob 1/2" rise.

It is not a dust cover. Rail replaces and latches where rear sight is located, and bolts to frame via tang screw on stock. This will hold a somewhat decent sight. It looks like a Beryl rail but does not attach to rifle like the genuine item. I would suggest a russian made side rail if you have the mount for it. Better yet, a Cobra RDS which has it's own mount and made specificaly for the AK. I ditched this and went for the russian made side rail and a small RDS

With red dots, reflex sights etc the iron sights are co-witnessed. You will still be able to look down irons...make sure to use the correct riser, it comes with a low, mid, and high riser. The SPARC is a great sight, I've ran a few on ars and shotguns. Lemme know if you need anything, will be happy to help

I don't have a variety at hand to doublecheck for you, but I'd like to make it clear that you can't "cowitness" the SeeAll with irons in the conventional sense. You can't see the front sight through it. Combined with the fact that its nigh indestructible and unpowered, it's more of an iron-sight replacement, in the same way a high power scope replaces all iron sights on most precision rifles. That said, the Amazon image looks to be about the right height, and (eyeballing it) I'd say that's a half inch riser. I highly suggest placing it as you would an Aimpoint red dot, and ditching your iron sights. Another compromise would be removing your front sight and keeping a rear sight, using the triangle of the SeeAll as a front sight.

No, you cannot see the iron sights when installed, so must commit to optics.

There are two pins on the iron sights, you will need to pound those out and mount it on top the existing iron sights.

On mine it was, I took it off, but if you remount it at the same place it's OK. If you want iron sights again.

From the top of the P-rail to the top of the folded sight is right at one-half inch on the rear sight and nine-sixteenth a of an inch on the front sight. I tried mounting my scope directly to the rail but the sights were just a hair too tall and I had interference from the scope. I had to add a riser to give me clearance. But your scope may not cause problems. That's why I have you the height of the sights from the top of the rail. Overall you will not be disappointed, they are top quality sights and maintain perfect zero after countless deployments.

well also bought the mechanically fixed HiViz sights they work are are helpful. depending on if you have a rail or smooth barrel would decide the type but in either case the rail mount winds up being about 18" apart when targeted with a laser bore sighting tool. Its just slaps on but sighting is another store.

It sits about 1/4-3/8" above cover to top. The rail doesn't touch the cover. Go to www.gunsamerica.com and enter this item #986848365 in the search box and see one installed on a recent build of mine. Greg Gabrel

i installed it on a c-39 milled receiver ak. i had to dremmel the rail to make it fit flat on the dust cover. like the rear sight block was lower than the one they used to pattern it. but after that it works good. i put a 30mm red dot on it and it holds zero with the rail being removed many times at the range to test it.

I don''t have an M&M;, but I installed this on my Egyptian Maadi AK. It sits low enough for me to use the iron sights without having to remove it, but still high enough so I can also remove the bolt cover & bolt assembly without having to remove it. For me it is a perfect fit. Hope this helps.

The B Square mount itsself does not interfere with the ability to use the iron sights. You cannot use the sights when the scope is mounted. There is no see through. The scope mounting rings actually block the sights,but then I have the scope mounted!

The anwser is yes and no. NO if are willing to use your own dust cover and have a scope rail attached by having it drilled and tapped by a qualified gunsmith to fit the rail you provide. YES if you dont want to modify your dust cover. You can buy one of these modified dust covers with the scope rail already attached, BUT be aware that you may need to have a qualified gunsmith "fit" the new cover to your upper receiver. You can file it to fit yourself, but not a recommended procedure for novice. After all your life will depend on the results.
