wesleyowen 0 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'm setting my gun up for optics. I am installing an Ultimak gas tube optic mount. I want to be able to use optics and down the road be able to also use HK sights without having the optics interfere with the sights. I've met someone a while back who did this on their gun and I can't remember how they did it. They had an Ultimak gas tube optic mount and some other thing so that the optic didn't interfere with the sights. Anyone have any recommendations? Or is setting it up for both optics and sights a bad idea? Opinions with supporting rational is welcome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a similar open thread on the "308 conversion" entry asking for some input or suggestions. My front Iron sight is in the Scope's field of view... bummer....

RPK 3 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) Do you have a rifle or a shotgun? An Ultimak on a rifle wouldn't interfere with the stock irons. Edited January 12, 2009 by RPK Quote Link to post Share on other sites

corbin 621 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Does Ultimak even make anything that will fit the S12 gas tube? I didn't think they did, but if they do, I want one. I'm not sure about using stock iron sights, but if the rail obstructs them, you could always go with a similar setup like they sometimes use on flattop ARs, with the fold down sights.

Corbin My gunsmith says he has an Ultimak rail that somehow works with the S-12 gas tube. That's all I know about that at the momment. Once it gets done and have it in my possession I'll know a bit more. I decided I'm going to use flip up front and rear sights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
