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!

The magnifier flips to the right allowing the use of iron sights thru the en tech in either on or off position.

I'm fairly new the AR platform and both of mine were optic ready w/ no sights. Sorry i couldn't help.

These type of mounts (flip to side or slide to side) always have some movement when deployed. They are meant for magnifiers where it doesn't make any difference. It would not hold zero at all with a scope in it. You would be lucky to keep your shots in an 8-10" circle at 50 yards using one of these. You need a solid mount for that or a set of rings that mount solidly to the rifle. You can also buy quick disconnect rings that will hold better zero when taken off and put back on if you buy good ones. Cheap ones just won't do the task.

My Aimpoint Comp C3 came with a low rise mount included. Worked perfectly for what I wanted which was to mount as low as possible, forward, on an Ultimak rail. If one was going to use it on an AR you'd need a higher mount or a spacer block mount to raise it up.

I mounted it with the "CCOP MNT-1516 High Profile AR-ArmourTac Rifle Scope Mount Rings for Picatinny Rail, 30mm" If you're talking about fixed front and back iron sites this might be an issue. I have flip up iron sites and when flipped up they do block the scope.

you might. i dont have one. you wouldnt normally see that behind an trijicon ACOG sight that this is potraying. the ACOG is a magnified optic. this is non magnified fake. its like having a fake leupold scope with no magnification. would you throw a magnifier behind that? it might work, just look stupid i think. hope this helps.

I am not familiar w/a AR15 myself but this is referred to as tactical & I mounted a red/green dot site that was advertised for a tactical rail. GDH***

Both are seprate pieces so if you just want the eotec holographic sight you don't have to have the magnifier. Or you can mount both the magnifier does flip out of the way. I have them both mounted on my ar15 and love it

It adjusts just like any other AR front post style sight. The is a point to push down on and then you rotate the post. A small screwdriver or tip of a 223 round both work well. My suggestion, return it and get something else.

It's for a rail mount. That's what I have, at least. I know your issue, though. Some are advertised as gas or rail and end up being the opposite. But this one is a rail mount as well as being a very sturdy one, too. With that said, it's still better to save your money and get something like Magpul Flip-ups. This one will work but Magpuls are very high quality and will last a long time. Get this item for a quick change out. If you get Magpuls, don't get the PTS stuff, just the strait up Magpuls that run about $80 to $100 for a set, it's money well spent :)

Your problem is not the scope, Air rifles have barrel droop, some are unnoticeable and some are, but don't worry it can be fixed with things you probably have lying around the house.You can use anything to create a wedge on the rear part of the scope, I personally folded a piece of aluminum foil into a square about 1/8in in thickness and put it under the rear sight and TADA!!! Problem solved I was shooting 3 inches high (before I was about 2 inches low)or.........you can blow $50-100 on droop compensation scope mounts.....whatever you want to do

MINE IS ROCK SOLID, i flipped my mounting bolts over to the left side, added a drop per bolt of red locktight and after getting it finger tight i ever so slightly tightened mine down a half turn or so past finger tight with a socket.. mines never budged. Even at finger tight mine was on pretty solid with no play or wiggle, is your rail aftermarket ? is it a el-cheapo or a quality rail ? is a factory rail on a AR ? im guessing the problem is not the optic.. however you never know. do other mounts fit you rail solid without issue ? contact Lucid.. they are flat out awesome to work with !

The base and the scope are two different pieces and the screws holding them together must come up from the bottom. I have mine mounted and sighted and therefore I don't want to take it off. I know that Cabbalas has these in their display case here in Grand Junction ( at a higher price ) Maybe you you could look at one and determine if what you want to do is possible. I hope that I have been of some help.

Most likely BACK to the top of the Pic-rail. These sights are INCREDIBLE! I have mine on my Olympic Arms OA-93. Top-of-the-line accessory for a top-of-the-line firearm! Enjoy yours!

Previous answer was primarily in reference to a AR-15 type platform, though as with others answers there are many options and directly depends on what weapon the site is intended to be mounted on.

I swear to you I was just thinking the same thing a couple days ago but I haven't gotten around to trying it on my AR yet....I don't see any reason it wouldn't work and it would be super small and light.

The mount goes over the iron sights but there is enough of a gap in between the rail and the sights that you probably could still use the iron sights as well. I've never actually tried it myself but looking at it, it looks pretty possible
