Do any lefties use 45 degree offset BUIS?
I am considering some KAC flip up offset iron sights.
My plan would be to mount them on the left rail of the gun, and be able to twist the gun 45 degrees to the right for lining them up.
Is this possible? Or will they not work this way?
One concern is if they will be too far on the side of the gun to be useable?
Second concern is that the front AND the rear would have to be mounted on the forearm quad rail. This puts the rear sight pretty far from my eye. Probably making around 10" of eye relief. Therefore I was thinking a 300m aperture would be best for such a long relief. I fear not being able to see well, and having a terrible field of view if a 600m aperature was 10" from my eye.
Another way would be to mount them "backwards" on the top rail. They would just flip up in a different direction from a righty shooter.
