It can go to top rail some guns .and ar have a riser on them it does fit on top flat rail but for me to see good through it .I had to raise the rail 1 inch but we'll worth it for the price and cool looking

Yes it mounts on standard picatinny rails. Battery life is listed at 1000 hours. I'm still on the original battery, despite leaving it on for 2 days in storage by accident. I keep a spare battery in my pistol grip just in case.

its not set up for a rail, I bolted it on with the front shoulder sling extended hardware and works great

These do work very well for a flat top. I wouldn't mount it directly on the gas block. It's designed to be mounted on a picatinny rail system.

If it has a rail otherwise remove the mount and see if you can mount it direct.

It screws directly into the rail. Kids had fun with it this year. Did have to screw the hoop back on- should have a no dunking rule.

It is made for a carry handle mount; however, you can mount a carry handle on your flat top and then mount the scope to the handle!

It mounts with straps that go around existing rails (factory roof rails). You will not need to buy or use any additional items for this product. It's also very stable and holds snug without wind flap. Other models I have seen/heard about have wind issues, not this one, it is very solid and heavy duty.

It might mount but the scope would not be high enough to properly align with your eye. On flat top AR's you need higher rings so that with a proper cheek weld on the straight AR stock your eye is behind the scope. Normal rifle stocks have some drop in the stock...AR's do not.

Sorry I dont know-the model I have has a straight handle that doesnt unfold

I would not suggest using on a rail that is not flat at the top. It may be unstable and tip.

It mounts on the center handle bar post. There is a bracket that mounts where the handle bar cap is in the center.

My AR has a carry handle so mine is mounted on that with a see through mount. I might suggest a set of see through rings. Hope this helps.

no it mounts to any standard rail system. if u want it to sit up higher for some reason u might get something but ive never seen anyone do that. should be good just to mount it right on.

It's made to fit on picatinny rails. I guess whether it would "clear fold down steel sites" would depend on what you are mounting this mount on. My AR15 does not have the top carry handle so it will not clear the sites. Hope this helps. BTW, be careful if you purchase this and take extra care in setting the tension on the lever. The threaded hole for the set screw was cross-threaded on the 1st unit I received. The replacement was okay but the screw is made of a harder material than the base of the mount. Other than that, for the price, it's a good buy.

I originally ordered the handle mounted rail, which had a picture of the item as well, a week later when I clicked to track my package and now it was a picture of a removable carry handle. When the item arrived it was the handle mounted rail for the top of the carry handle. I got the right product but they changed the photo to the wrong thing. Hope this helps you.

No, provided you have 1-inch Picatinny or Weaver rails it will mount directly to those rails.
