Question about upgraded irons

[Ridge]

Anybody know if the Nodak Spud NDS-26 10/22 rear sight lines up with the Tech Sights front sight? I have the latter, but want to put a rail on my gun so I can quickly swap a scope off/on, but the Nodak front sight doesn't work on the Takedown barrel.

The NDS-13 looks almost identical to the Tech Sights TSR-100

I would highly suggest you inquire with both companies about height over bore or height over reciever from center of aperture to see if they match.
...However...
The tech sight is supposed to work with the factory front sight of the anniversary edition rifle.
Though this sight is taller than the standard front sight by a good bit, visually it does not look as tall as the Nodak spud.
So, were i to guess, the answer would be "No", but you wont know for sure till you get a comparable measurement from the two companies.

Finally, i would suggest that using the MagPul barrel lug rail mount and a long eye relief/pistol scope or a red dot there mounted would both solve this dilemma and net a more repeatable result, with optic staying true to barrel rather than reciever

Thank you, Rob. Yeah, I'll reach out to them, I was just hoping someone else on here had the same stupid idea as me and would know off hand of that.

I'll have to look into that Magpul rail mount. I had considered getting a bull barrel with integral rail, as well.
