[QUOTE="aestus, post: 1684663, member: 2989"] Meh... I just knocked the rear sight off and used 11mm (3/8") scope rings to hold a long eye relief pistol scope on to the rail that the original rear sight assembly sits on. I used a drill to add a notch to the bottom of the scope ring clamps so that it aligned with the pinholes under the rail that held the original rear sight assembly in place. I reinserted the pins, aligning the notched ring clamps to the pinholes and it's enough to prevent the scope rings from creeping foward from the recoil. A second option is to use a 11mm (3/8") to picatinny rail adapter and use weaver/picatinny rings or mounts to attach your scope or red dot. If using the rails adapter, I recommend doing the same thing and notching the bottom of the clamps with the pinholes or using some rubber / locktite / ect to roughen the rails so the whole mount doesn't creep forward under recoil.
