Sight Mount?

[elchucko]

I have a Sightmark 13003 optical sight. I'm going to mount it to my Colt 22 M4 OPS. When I remove the rear iron sight and mount the 13003 sight can it be mounted high enough to clear the front sight? If so how?

Most guys use sights like that in conjunction with the front sight. There are risers you can get but not sure if there is any tall enough to completely get the front sight out of the picture.

OK, help me out here. My plan is to use a 1" riser to mount the reflex sight a couple of inches before the rear iron sight. The idea is to enable me to still use the iron sights and also use the reflex. I don't use the front sight in conjunction with the reflex do I?

Aren't there mounts to allow you to flip the reflex sight off to the side when not in use?

Here is a great post on the subject

Thanks for the info! My problem is when mounting a reflex sight on the rail which also has a rear iron sight such as the Colt, the iron sight gets in the way of the reflex. It looks like I have to raise the reflex so I see thru it and not be obstructed by the rear iron sight. If I mount it on the same rail as the rear iron sight, I have to remove the rear iron sight to make the reflex usable. I hope I make sense!

You might want to look into (pun) getting a flip-up rear sight. Colt/Umarex has one that folds down real low, and works real good. It's the same sight Colt uses on the SPR. CTD has it cheaper than dirt. Well. maybe not that cheap, but cheaper than Umarex!
