I installed the rail on my MK-III 22/45 Lite and have an inexpensive BARSKA red-dot sight. I only use the red dot occasionally since my ready-holster doesn't accommodate it. The problem came when I installed firesights instead of the factory sights. The tail of the front sight extended back 1/8 inch past the front of the rail. I had to either cut the tail off the front sight, or cut the front off the rail. I chose the rail since I mount the red-dot toward the rear of the rail. A little black paint on the cut front of the rail and I am in business

By the way, I _REALLY_ like the firesights. My accuracy has greatly improved.
