I threw out my old sight after replacing it. However the new sight adjustment plat looks and operates just like the old one. I would bet that you could..

No, it does not. I ordered this sight, with the same idea in mind. The new elevation plate is almost twice as wide as the old white diamond plate. Once I saw that this wouldn't work, I thought I could knock the pivot pin out (that the site flips up and down on) and just install the top half this way. Well, this doesn't work either because the new dovetail base plate is narrower than the existing one. Even after some filing, I decided that this really doesn't work. Wishing I had spent the extra dinero for some nice peep sights. Be prepared to really wrestle to get your sights out. I don't have a vise or a bench, and I couldn't get either the front of rear sight to budge. Hope this helps! No, it does not. I ordered this sight, with the same idea in mind.

my ar is a flattop but i do not think the sightmark will clear your fixed front sight without a modified mount. it is my understanding that most people co-witness the red dot with the front sight.

Yes. This is not the x-long mount and doesn't require the removal of the rear sight. Only problem you may run into is that one of the screws may have to be filed down slightly IF the bottom of the screw happens to rub slightly on the top of the bolt. If it does rub, you will feel it. Chances are, there will be no problems. Just a heads up though.

The front and rear sight mounting hole patterns are not the same on the ruger barrel by design. Sounds like you got two of the same hole patterns on your kit, just like I did on my silver version.

If you modify?? I think it would cost more for the modification than the gun is worth and it would look ugly as sin. Get a red dot or real ruger target sights.

It can be disassembled (not really "field stripped") and the rear sight can be removed or reversed but you cannot adjust for windage or elevation. I posted some pics of mine "beyond" field stripped. They should still be up. You will need a small phillips and flat head to disassemble. By the way, I reversed my rear sight and painted it with white nail polish. Works better.

Once you remove the sight completely ,there is a dove tail mount available. you will need a long eye releif scope, this mount will place the scope about 6" further up the barrell than a regular scope. Unless you change the bolt this is your only option, even after you change the bolt, and locate the scope in @ it's usual position, you have to give up the clip aqction and the rifle become a single shot, as now the scope is in the way.... nothing is ever easy????? here is what I did for whatever it is worth , bought the ZSUN optics specialty mount@ 8" long, turned it around and mounted a 2X red dot.... I am very happy with this configuration and would recommend giving it a try.

Yes your rear sights are left installed. However you can no longer easily look/use them.

I have a standard front sight but I replaced the post with a tritium filled one from meprolight. Just make sure whichever one you pick that it is adjustable for elevation as this rear sight only adjusts for windage and distance.

Yes the rear sight will fit for sure, the front sight will fit if you have an inserted red ramp front sight from the factory to start with.

You need a vise and a nylon or brass punch and hammer to drive the rear sight from the dovetail. After removing the rear sight, minor fitting might be required to install the base in the dovetail. After that, everything is pretty straight forward. If you are not comfortable taking a punch and a hammer to your gun, or do not have a suitable vise you can hold it with without marring the finish, I would recomend taking it to a gunsmith.

Yes you do, the rear base has to be drilled and tapped and aligned properly. The original bead sight that is elevated by a small platform, (on a standard Remington barrel) the bead will be removed then the trijicon will be dropped into place with epoxy and a pin. The pin just adds additional reliability so your front sight isn't just relying on epoxy to hold it.

Yes and no. The rear sight fits, the front sight does not. I see that some have indicated that it will attach to the front of the slide, but with an improper fit. They are designed for the full size Px4. Unless we are talking about a different product, I installed them on my full-size Px4 without issue - beautiful fit. However, before installing I did a visual comparison with the sights on my Px4Sub. The front sight on the Px4Sub appeared to be almost a full 1mm narrower than the night sight. I would have to shave the night sight down in order to get a fit. If you should get them, please reply back and let us know how they fit. Yes and no. The rear sight fits, the front sight does not.

yes, you bolt these straight to the dovetail on your barrel. You do need to remove the rear sight. have questions shoot me a email, I've done this to several mosins.

This sight has a mil standard post just like on any other AR/m16 adjustable for elevation. Any standard mil spec post should fit just fine. You don't necessarily need a tool to adjust it. I used a small nail to depress the plunger and it worked fine, though I now have the tool. Also, choose your rear sight carefully. Some fronts and backs don't work well together This one works fine with the flip up UTG rear (which does not have elevation adjustment), but won't work with some other varieties due to their lack of elevation adjustment, or not enough adjustment to get them aligned properly.

I believe that the rear sight is more of a straight up "block" sight instead of the sloped back "novak"...... should really be similar though. Hope this helps.

After a little research it is to my best knowledge the rear flip up sight should be compatible with the fixed front sight. However prior to buying a set you may want to take your rifle to a gun dealet and get their advice. Good luck, lets us know how it works out
