Hi Fuzzy.

I wonder if this would work for your application

Or if this would work for the rear

Well the ramp + sight was way too high!      In fact, the ramp by itself was a little too high.  While I know what to get now, took the file to the ramp to make a sight out of it.   Also, because it is mounted to shroud, I can't epoxy like RS did.  ie need to rotate shroud to get it off.   His shroud extended past the end of the airtube.  Need to drill and tap two screw holes into shroud, but need to be careful to exactly where they go. 

Ray,
I think that long fiber optic would need to be 1/4" - 3/8" above the shroud.  The sights have to be a little higher than normal to clear the mag.  The WGRS-54 comes with a peep sight, but I changed to blade, but can easily switched back.  It took a bit of filing, but the WGRS-54 fits now.  When I'm done, will post some more pics.

I had to wait and get a #6-48 tap for the front sight screws.   While I couldn't come up with a both sights in focus photo, it does clear the mag.  Range tested it to 35yds today.  Fresh snow helps in that matter.

I use this setup now.  Its a utg commando quad rail combined with a dovetail to weaver converter and 2 low profile risers (no modifications or holes drilled in prod).  The ar15 sights can sit on as is with a low profile front.  After I verified the accuracy out to 35 yards (have not tested farther), I mounted the scope on med risers and put the iron sights on 45 degree adapters.  I also use a red dot sight to co witness on a 45 degree adapter.  The red dot sits on the front post.  This helps a lot with dark targets as the sights are not truglow and I have trouble making out where the sights are on the target.    I had another version without the quad rail that was based only on risers.  It worked great but did not look as nice.  The angled grip makes for a very stable platform and makes off hand shots much easier.  Right now its set for single shot but I will eventually notch it for the magazine.

I have this:



but it doesn't fit a holster very well.
