I agree with you guys about the laser sights. You all make a good point about red dots, too. But I have found one red dot that might be what you are looking for. It is made by C-more (I think), and they make a mount that attaches to the carry handle. The sight actually sits in front of the carry handle, and when set up properly, you sight through the rear sight as you would normally, and the red dot looks like it is sitting on top of the front sight. Great for low light, where the front sight might disappear on a dark backround. It adds virtually no height to the rifle, and very little weight. And if it ever fails (dead batteries, etc), you can still use the iron sights, no problem. Hope this helps.
