I would try it myself, but I'm at work.

No. Even a 1X optic won't allow for a co-witness with irons.

Forget co-whitnessing, I'm just taking about flipping up the Irons and using them independent from the optic.

Like if I want to go from 100m with 1.5X, to 500m with Irons. I don't want to have to rip off the sight, and re-zero. That's stupid.

Would it work?

Now I just don't have a means to re-zero the gun if I rip off the sight.

1. Get a Larue mount as has been said.
2. get off set irons so you don't have to remove the optic.

won't work with a 1.5x - the front sight is not in focus.
