Hopefully someone can help me get a true co-witness with my Walther/Umarex MP5 A5 .22LR
Picked up the MP5 A5 as a plinker w/ a red-dot. Bought a micro dot Aimpoint style clone and a claw rail and cannot get a co-witness sight picture. When looking through the rear aperture and the red dot glass, all I get is the top half circle of the front sight assembly. No front post is visible and I can just barely pick up a red shadow where the red dot is sitting just out of view.
If I do not use the rear sight aperture (just look through the red dot), The dot sits nearly on the top of the front sight protective circle. I'm not prepared to cut the top half of the circle away so the dot is in the clear.
The sight needs to come down a bit get a 1/3 co-witness or even a bit more for a true co-witness.
I know guys here that have the HK MP5 are running the Aimpoint Micro dots w/ the B & T 10266 mount and get a true co-witness.

A few of these same people have the Walther Umarex as plinker w/ other less costly red dot and rails. Usually the Classic Army rail and a Primary Arms Red Dot and claim to get a true co-witness with the iron sights.
My question is..will the more expensive B & T 10266 rail fit on the Walther Umarex MP5 A5 22LR??
I'm hoping a member that owns both will do a test fitting so I'll know before I order the B&T 10266 that it will fit mine. I don't mind spending the money for a rail if I'm sure the red dot will co-witness.
Thanks to any who answer and especially to those who take the time to do a test fitting of the B & T mount on their Walther/Umarex MP5 A5 .22LR
Cheers
