How does this work on an M4-177, Crosman pellet gun? Can the "iron sights" be used at the same time as this sight?

I am using these on .22 LR AR-15 uppers. They are set on the side of the quad rail so using the iron sights is easy for me.

I can't really tell you. I just bolted mine on to the picatinny rail and it worked. My Crosman has no open sights so a scope is mandatory.

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

I haven't had any issues with mine. I hit the four screws with thread locker during the initial install. I have the same rifle and have not had any issues. You will be able to see your front post and enough of your rear sight to still have functional iron sights as is claimed.

No, you will not be able to use the rail and still see the iron sights. A set of Leupold 57323 rings will attach directly to the receiver and allow you to see the iron sights.

No problem with iron sights. I modified to allow easier cleaning. (Then I replaced the whole thing with the Tapco which costs $10 more and couldn't be happier).

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

Yes you will be able to use your iron sights due to the Springfield mounts high clearance over them. The height of the scope may cause a problem with cheek weld to the stock. I changed out my M1A stock to a Archangel stock which has an adjustable cheek weld and length of pull for a more custom fit and I love it. You could also purchase strap on welds that will bring your eye level up to the scope while maintaining a weld on the stock.

My iron sights work with this on my takedown, however, there is multiple versions of the takedown now. If your rear sight sits up a good bit you should be good to go.

I have two sets of these sights. They are great. Answering your question, the rear sight can be turned around and used for left handed shooters. However, you will be looking at the back side of the aperture and will not get the shaded effect from the mild cone on the right side application. There is no way to make the sight work by undoing the base, as that will physically not work at all. The flat portion of the mount that holds the elevation wheel cannot be turned around to be of any advantage whatsoever. If you do not mind looking at the flat side of the sight, it will be fine. it will be about 3/8ths of an inch further forward, as the apertures are not centered between the ears of the rear sight. I hope this helps.

Yes, it is possible to fit optics on this gun. THIS GUN CAN NOT SUPPORT A RAIL which means you have to get a specialized red dot sight (or something along the lines) that fits right over the iron sight. I personally like the iron sights but a red dot should work fine

The sight you are looking at will only work on uppers with gas block. These are a tad taller since the gas block is slightly below the quad rail on a flat top m4. The front sight is also adjustable for elevation.

You would need see-through scope mounts. I have a red-hot on my 10-22 have I can't use the iron sights. No scope, no problem

The rail does not obscure the iron sights. They are still usable. This mount does not, however, allow you to co-witness an optic with the irons. An optic blocks the irons when mounted.

Yes it will work. I bought one but had to move the Scope Support rings to the opposite side of the mount, there are two screw mounts on each side of the thing and It scraped the skin off my hand the first time I tried the load and extraction of rounds into/from the weapon. You cannot use the fixed iron sights with this contraption even though its advertised as suchskin off my fingers ifirst time I tried it out.

I think he answered your question. The back piece (magnifier) flips over to the side allowing you to use your iron sights through the front eotech circle/dot. Just a pice of my .02cents I Love this combo! Though I have heard great things about the vortex magnifier and may give it a shot. It's over 200 less :/ good luck!
