Could the base of this be mounted to a milspec railed gas block or is it too big? If not, is there any rail I could mount to extend from the gas block

You could but it would over hang by a lot, this is about 5 inches long total(if memory servers me right), and the clamping area is maybe 3 and a half inches of that. Again not sure why you would mount a 20MOA rail to a gas block, but that is your call.

I wouldn't mount this to the gas block. The screws are probably too wide apart. This rail is typically used to tilt the scope down to increase the elevation adjustment. I don't know of any rails specifically designed to extend from a gas block.

The gas block is way to short to attach this to.The riser rail is approximately 6 inches long where it attaches to the rifle.

This riser has a slight rise "20 moa." It's a little long to extend from your gas block. I would go with a 2 or 3" long flat riser depending on what your needing it for. Weaver and YHM Yankee Hill Machine shop make them. Hope this helps.

this rail is to long to mount on a gas block. check out midwayusa they have more choices.

Hi Berton, the underside of the rail is flat however only a few cm across so it may fit a barrell? How do you plan on mounting it though I'm curious.

The only CQC's that I have seen have all have had top mount rails. If yours does, it will work. Rails = Mountable

It is meant for a lower gas block. As I said in my review, this is a real piece of junk and I would never put them on any weapon of mine. I strongly urge you to save your money and get something better.

You need to install a shorter/tactical forend. Like a magpul or the like. Otherwise you won't be able to rack it.

as log as the gas block rail ad the upper rail are in the same plane it should work

You're right. It's designed for a low profile gas block sight. I mounted mine on a UTG quad rail gas block and it's perfect height.

There is an option on napoleons web site for a mounting base...I installed my grill in a custom built enclosure, with a 1 inch combustable air gap. And lined the frame work with cement board.

I mounted mine on my flat top, and to the handguard mount, not the gas block. I have not had any issues with sighting in or holding a zero.

If you have a Gas block on the same plane as your receiver rail, this sight will not work. Its for a gas block that sits lower than your receiver rail.

These do work very well for a flat top. I wouldn't mount it directly on the gas block. It's designed to be mounted on a picatinny rail system.

Mine is 3/4" from top of rail mounted. This is the base with the rear site down

Absolutely not! I bought a pair and my gas block is approximately 3/16" lower than than the receiver rail and, after trying all adjustments possible, I could not even come close to getting any type of accuracy alignment I then tried user a 1/2" riser on the gas block and the same problem arose due to the front now being higher! The gas block and receiver rail MUST be virtually 100% identical in height!

You should be able to keep and use the front sight. The Samson rail tucks in under the lip of the gas block.

I see no reason why that wouldn't work. As long as the rail sections are long enough for the bases to clamp on.

It depends on the length of the gun but their the same specs. Most gas blocks are different in the way they are mounted some are "welded" some have set screws. But all can be changed for an A2 style or a low profile gas block. I hope this helps.

definitely a slightly lower gas block.if your gas block rail is as high as the receiver rail ,it would shoot too low. this is a taller tower.
