Will this red dot work with a flip-to-side magnifier?

Absolutely! I have an Ncstar 3x magnifier mounted on an Ade Advanced Optics flip to side mount. It lines up perfectly height wise.

Lucid makes their own flip to side magnifier, I bought the screw in 2x made for the red dot itself to throw in my pocket. But I don't see why other brand magnifiers won't work with it.

Lucid has its own magnifier, you can attach/screw it on the back site(you might know this already).Magnifier should work on any optics flip-to-side or not, the biggest concern is...if it's going to be on the same level as optics (this, I do not know).I'm sorry, not much of the help, just a thought. If you get Lucid optics make sure you tight up your cover for battery compartment.

I purchased my Lucid HD7 with a 2x magnifier, so, depending upon the strength of your flip-to-side magnifier it should work. Then again, if its to strong it may over compensate and blur the variable reticle.
1773281
Yes as long as the ring for the magnifier is the same size as the riser attached to the Lucid.

In not using one, but don't see why it wouldn't? It's a standard red dot that is just more stable and brighter than most. But yes I didn't see why it wouldn't!

It's sight line is a little too low on mine, hard to see the dot with my aimpoint 5x magnifier. If that makes sense

Possibly. But there is a large height difference between the scope mount and the forward picatinny rail. With the correct riser on the magnifier it might work. But I don't know how well it will work with sight and magnifier on 2 different rails. But I don't know if you can find a riser for the magnifier that will still allow you to use the iron sights. Which was important to me. Because expensive optics probably will not fail. But iron sights always work. And the m1a has phenomenal iron sights.

yeah you can adjust it to co witness with any sight. I have the magpul flip ups and they work great together

Yes, the magnifier can be mounted to the base backwards. Although, this will position the flip release button forward and on the right side of the gun.

I mounted standard flip up iron sights in my AR. You can see the sights great right through the multi dot. Don't know why the reticle on top or a later on the side wouldn't work also. Very versital!

Sorry man. I don't know the answer I your question. I have it mounted on an ar15 rail behind an EOtech holo sight and both the magnifier and sight line up perfectly.

It will clear the sight in the down position, at least it did on mine. You won't be able to flip thesight up with a scope attached. Unless you have a very short scope and position it far forward. But, then it would be too far from your eye to use peoperly.

Without personal experience I can't say for certain, but I did check UTG 4.0" ITA Red/Green Dot Sight's amazon page and there is a picture of the sight being used with the magnifier. Soooooo I would assume the answer is yes.

I have mine on an AR-15 with a Vortex red dot scope with a 3X flip magnifier. If sighted in properly the red dot will align with the front and rear sights. Mine is set for 100 yds

The one i got did not come with a mount. However it will work with flip up sights. You just need to order either absolute or lower 1/3rd co-witness mounts

I would only reccommend it with pop up sights. My pop up sights align w the center of the optic where the dot would be if the battery fails. Then I can flip up the front sight and use it. If your iron sights are fixed, it may obstruct your vision of the red dot.

I wouldn't cound on it working. First the red dot sits low, second if you change the mount on the magnifier the projector for the red dot blocks part of the view. I never got a clear view it was always blury. That was with my 7x that looks similar to the 3x.

Yes. It is not magnified so you can look straight through the optic and use iron sights in the even of battery failure. Flip up sights are recommended so they do not obstruct normal use of the Micro Sight.

Yes it sure could. I have one eye that had a retina bleed and went almost blind and I can see to string beads on the elastic. It has two sides so I'm sure if one side isn't enough turn the magnifier over and that side will be stronger.

Yes, if you unscrewed the magnifier mounting post from the right side and repositioned it on the left. This should be quite easy to do.

No, but you can get a nice flip mount for 26 bucks. http://www.amazon.com/Ade-Advanced-Optics%C2%AE-Tactical-Magnifier/dp/B00E3FU8NW/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1386200833&sr=8-11&keywords=magnifier+flip+mount

There is no handle to operate this flip to side magnifier mount -- you simply push the magnifier to the side and it flips down. If you need to flip to the left, you can remove the magnifier from the mount and "flip" it so that the movement is in the opposite direction.
