I'm a left handed shooter. Can the sightmark 5x magnifier flip handle be mounted so the magnifier flips to the left side?

I am going to guess that you're mounting this on an AR 15 platform. The answer is yes you can . In fact it is suggested that it be mounted thisway so that ejected shells don't hit it when it is flipped to the side . I actually have mine mounted so that it flips to the left. Also be sure to mount it so the locking lever is on the right . If it is on the left it will interfere with your access to the charging handle

There is no handle to operate this flip to side magnifier mount -- you simply push the magnifier to the side and it flips down. If you need to flip to the left, you can remove the magnifier from the mount and "flip" it so that the movement is in the opposite direction.

Not sure, but maybe.There are cutouts in the receiver and stock for the bolt handle on the left side, but there is no way to tell how the bolt itself rotate/operate without dissasembly. The "manual" makes no mention of left-hand conversion. Good luck

Hi. As far as I know there is a version for left handed shooters. I can tell that at least for right handed it is ok if your hand is not to small. Regards.

I got one of these for a good friend who is a left handed shooter. He states that it works just fine for him, no complaints. I just had to position the rear butt strap that, I added, so that the straps buckle was on the other side.

works great! the magnifier shifts over to one side allowing you to have flip covers on sight & magnifier!

Possibly. But there is a large height difference between the scope mount and the forward picatinny rail. With the correct riser on the magnifier it might work. But I don't know how well it will work with sight and magnifier on 2 different rails. But I don't know if you can find a riser for the magnifier that will still allow you to use the iron sights. Which was important to me. Because expensive optics probably will not fail. But iron sights always work. And the m1a has phenomenal iron sights.

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.

Not unless you can use a left hand clip; you still might have a problem with the mounting bolt.

I'm pretty sure you could get this in a left handed model.. Great buy on these holster cowboy rigs, very well made.

Yes, I guess it ultimately depends on the sights and the model though really. I have a Ruger SR-556, with the stock flip up sights and the visibility actually works pretty well looking through this Eotech, approximately 2/5 of the way up the glass maybe? Not right in the middle, which would be perfect, but plenty usable without having to remove the system. I had to move the sights back and forth a little to make everything fit the way I wanted but it looks good.

Depends on your back up iron sights. Diffrent heights require different mounts. My flip up soghts needed the cantilever mount in order for the sight to be cowitness

The flip to side mount does come with the magnifier but it is really low quality and would suggest purchasing a better quality flip to side mount.

well if you get a shot gun that is left handed pretty much everything will be mirrored. But if you want to mount this on the right side of a standard shotgun it wont work. If you're a lefty just trying to use this in a standard set up it really shouldn't be in your way. I shoot mine lefty frequently and has never bothered me.

I mounted the handles, on the bottom of the doors, as per the instructions. I did measure the distance, from the top of the door to the hinge and from the bottom of the door to the hinge, and they are the same. If you wanted to flip the doors, and put the righthand door on the lefthand side, I see no reason why you couldn't. My cabinet fit together nicely, with no issues. Hope this helps.

Absolutely. There are two screws that attach the base of the magnifier body to the mount, simply reverse the tube. When mounted this way, you squeeze the button rearward with a finger and flick the magnifier to the right with your thumb. I actually find this method easier than the standard push-thumb claw grip over the top, and reset is even easier. It sounds weird to anyone who is used to the usual way, but it takes about thirty seconds to adapt. I like this much better.

Yes you could mount it in either direction if you had say a ruger scout rifle and mounted it on the forward rail in the opposite direction to get the eye relief you need while not optimal and would feel a little weird it is possible and would work

Ade Advanced Optics® Quick Flip to Side 90 Degree 30mm/1 Inch...Sold by: sportswarehouse This is by far the best mount for this magnifier. It's inexpensive but actually it's very good quality . I use this mount and magnifier with my eotech holographic sight and I love this set up.
