There is no rear iron sight where this is mounted on a Marlin 336. I don't know about other models. On the 336 you take out four factory short screws and install this rail with the four screws provided. Not much else to say.

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.

I have the same exact gun. The answer is yes and no. You can leave the front one on and it will not appear in your scopes view, but the back sight needs to come off, but getting it off is a piece of cake.

Yes, you will be able to co-witness the factory sights. I have an M&P 40 and tried my sights on it. Just order the one with the mounting plates. Very easy to install.

Yes, you can use your Iron sights. No problem here. I love the mount, rock solid! "When you follow the instructions and it's mounted properly."

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

Yes. I keep one on top of my AR right in front on my rear sight and it does not obstruct my ability to use the iron sights. In fact, it makes it much better. I made a YouTube video review of this light with it on an AR. Search Hilight P5S review there. This is a great little light.

I would only reccommend it with pop up sights. My pop up sights align w the center of the optic where the dot would be if the battery fails. Then I can flip up the front sight and use it. If your iron sights are fixed, it may obstruct your vision of the red dot.

Yes you can still use iron sights. Not sure if it will fit. I had to use a drimel to shave a little off to fit. It almost fit when got it in was just taking forever with a hand file. I have a Chinese sks

Yes, the iron sights are perfectly usable with this rail as long as no scope is mounted (which is probably why you want this mount anyway). When a scope or red dot is mounted the iron sights are covered completely, meaning you would have to take the time to remove the scope if you needed your 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.

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

Not unless you want to use your iron sights in addition to this scope. Then you'll need 1" high see through scope rings.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question. My concern was that in bright daylight I would not be able to pick up the front sight once painted. I have a tritium insert so I have no problem under dark conditions or even at night.

You can if you have the rail adapter or the helmet adapter. I love the light and it is very versatile. The helmet adapter clips to the edge of the helmet not like the rail adapter which will adapt to a weapons system style rail.

Yes you can where the rear sights are, there is a rail. The rail is not a normal size rail so you may need some add aprs or different scope rings for it.

I've had no issue, I checked this against the iron sights before installing a different configuration and it seemed to be spot on.
