The rear cover is the obvious place to put a scope rail, and a short red dot scope wouldn't interfere with stripper clip use, but some covers are tighter than others. I have tapped holes in receiver sides to mount clamps to force the play to one side. If I had to do it again, I would spread the cover to fit the receiver. This would probably require annealing the cover, because there is a good chance it has been hardened. With a red dot you could leave the stock sights as backups.
Gehwer98,
I noticed you have a case deflector beneath your scope. If you grind away the receiver frame side 3/8" back, the cases will eject sideways. It saves the brass some abuse and protects the optics.
