Hey Gang!

I was curious if anyone would know if a Holosun 510c and a HM3X Magnifier will fit on a Springfield Saint?
More specifically, the saint with the Mlok Polymer B5 Handguard, with Standard FSB and Backup Flip up Sight.

I'm curious if the HM3X Magnifier (The Longer One from 2019) will fit on top of the upper receiver and between a Holosun 510c and the Rear Backup sight on the Saint? I also, keep seeing the back up sight, one m1913 rail space forward, will the Saint not allow the back up sight in the most rearward m1913/picatinny slot?
I'd like to get my dad a magnifier for Father's Day, but can't find anywhere, mainly pictures of it all fitting on his rifle. His rifle has the Standard front sight post, so I can't ask him to take it off along with his rear back up sight to make space.
So, if anyone thinks this would be possible, probably a little tight, that would be great!

Thanks,
HeyBucket
 
For the record my upper is a Witch Doctor and having the red dot on the handguard hasn't caused any issues. Still holding zero after 500-600 rounds. The 510C is shorter than the Romeo which is what I have on this one. The magnifier may flip up and clear the folded down BUIS too. It's real hard to tell without having it in front of you and trying it out.

I doubt it. On one of mine with a smaller ( shorter) magnifier I had to straddle the upper and the handguard with the red dot. It wasn't a Saint, but...

See, that's what I'm afraid of. His handguard doesn't have any more rail sections on it. Only the upper receiver has the slots. Thanks for your input!

I had a Saint with a Romeo 5 and the HM3X mounted on the upper receiver and you could not flip up the rear irons with the HM3X up. If you folded the HM3X you could.

That's the way it looked to me too. You don't need the magnifier up at the same time the rear sight is up though. Because you ain't going to be able to see the front sight through the magnifier anyway. The magnifier is strictly for the dot. And the 510C is a shorter footprint than the R5.

So my man Simon has confirmed, it will fit and the body of the magnifier when flipped up will clear the FOLDED DOWN rear BUIS.

Bob's yer uncle. Welcome to the forum and Happy Father's Day to you and your dad.
