Red dot and magnifier?

Red dot and magnifier?

It's a red dot co-witnessed with iron sights.

I like how they gussied her up with fake dirt. Does this bullshit actually sell guns?

If you want a real screw up, here's one by H&K: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/14-660x439.jpg

Some makeup. Some lip filler. Holding that stomach in because it's aged and isn't as elastic as it could be.

But overall still hot.

Unless you are a fag and looking at the gun.

It's really not appealing. Everything in this Pic is fake.

The rear most one is a back up. They usually co witness with a red dot. The idea being that you can use them without making any changes if the dot fails.

They don't appear to be inline enough to use them this way. Perhaps if the red-dot was on a hinge to flip out of the way...

The top one is on a riser that has a "tunnel" that you can see through when you look with the lower sight.

Iron sights on an AR-15 already sit about 1.5 inches above the bore/rail. A "tunnel" mount like on granddad's old lever gun would have to be even taller. You would end up with a chin weld more akin to an AK.

No. It's a riser to put it more ergonomically with the eye. The iron sights flip up on the back and you can use them to aim thru the red dot if your battery dies. Or it's a static mount sight that's set to always be visible with the dot as well.
