Red dot and magnifier?

Red dot and magnifier?

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.
