Can this rail be reverse mounted so that an optic can be mounted further back?

sorry, I cant help you. I never could get the mounting screws on one side of the rail loose to be able to mount the rail on the rifle. I ended up giving up and buying a Wiegnand and had no trouble mounting a P223 scope back far enough to be useful. It did take special mounts (Nikon mounting rings) in order to make that work.

I've never heard of this, but if the gun has some type of mounting railit is possible. Just look at the top of gun and it should tell you.

This mount is fairly low to the receiver. If you don't have a front sight you can flip down I would not recommend it.

do you need the piece that makes red dot scope go up and down in the back of the rail??

Yes. There are fasteners under the base that allow the base to be removed and the optic to then be mounted above the A2 charging handle. The sight line may be WAY too high with it mounted that way and EVERY one of these I have seen has a crooked reticle.

There is a rail for scope mounting but I don't know if it would be worth it. If you can find a decent scope (lightweight) used, somewhere; you'd probably do OK. The open sights are just fine.

I don't think so, I have a flip up rear back up sight on one of my AR 15's and still had to modify(grind down) my scope mount. the sight you have is a stand alone sight and even if you could get both on the rail it would interfere with your scope visually. maybe a set of canted back up sights or a flip up would work for you.

Yes. I had this same experience on an AR. The way the optic closes on the rail is somewhat awkward, however, what worked for me is:Make sure the bottom is FLUSH on the rail. Once it is sitting on the rail, pull the loose end of mount inward to the rail. With one hand, hold it down on the rail. With the other, screw the mount in. I could of swore it would never go on and it feels like it was solidly on at times but still rocked loose. Trust me, this is the worst part about the optic. Once you mount it successfully, you'll see what you were/are doing wrong and every time after that is easy. Yes. I had this same experience on an AR.

Two slots, you'd have to buy the optics mounting kit if you wanted a rail section that only takes up one slot.

They could be mounted on the left side, but would have to be backwards. Elevation adjustments would not change at the front sight, windage adjustments would be backwards as far as the dial is concerned.

It's a little tricky, but you can put a side saddle on this rail with the factory screws it comes with..... But use a little locktite to help from screws backing out when shooting over time.

I guess you couold. I'm pretty sure the make a lefty model. You wouldn't attach to the top rail. Maybe to the left rail so your not looking through the back of each site.

No it will not. I attempted this and the rear site was just a couple of mm too low, which caused a little bending in the rail. A gunsmith said it would probably crack after 100 to 200 rounds or so. Its a shame because it is such a high quality piece of equipment. I ended up putting a AIM sports scout scope on the built in front rails as the long eye relief made it a good fit.

It can be mounted to any picatinny rail set up use currently in use, it doesn't work like a lot of the lights where you have set screws it works using a small bar that lifts and then snaps its self into place once its found a rail crater.. It's an awesome little light and for the price i always say get it because even just as a back up its bright enough to clear a house or just find your keys lol

ifyou would mount it foward on a mount rail and had a rear sight that fits your rail it might work

No the mount is built into the laser sight. As long as you have a rail to mount the sight there shouldn't be a problem.

no you cannot! it requires some type of rail system to be able to mount it! at least the one i have
