Bad reddot setups?

CaptplaidCaptplaid Member Posts: 20,296 ✭✭✭

Follow me for more great reddot setups.


A shop actually sold the magnifier and set it up after the reddot on the first picture for a friend. It actually works this way and I'd say the eye relief is better this way. So the magnifier is actually on the barrel rail....


Yes, I kinda like the reddot way up there on the AK though the weight balance is a bit heavy up there.


ATF says people don't run magnifiers on pistols without shouldering the gun. ATF bois are wrong again. From a bench this can hit a 6 inch target at 100 yards.

    The bigger issue is the instability of the part that the dot is mounted on. Wiggly-wobbly handguards or gas block/tube are not good for sight mounting.

    First one is not quite a suicide special. If the magnifier was reversed then yes, suicide special.

    Second one is mounted backwards, too? As for the mount if it's the Midwest Industries I think their rail is built into the handguard floated above the gas tube. Better than mounting it on the dust cover like they did on the Draco.

    When I saw two mounted at first , I admit to thinking maybe it was a pair of junk holosuns so you have a spare for the inevitable breakdown.
