MG2 with integral rail

Here are the photos of the MG2 with integral rail. It is has a dovetail rail machined onto the slide cover for mounting a red dot scope. For lack of a better term, this is also called slide cover with integral rail.

Is there going to be a version with cross-slots in the rail?

How does the red dot work when mounted backwards?

Don't know. Most likely not unless rear sight will not be used. The cross slot will make the rail thicker and may interfere with the iron sight sight alignment.

This is as far back as it will go.

I am not crazy about that design......  Matchguns should just "borrow" Pardini's design.

I like the position of the rail. I would prefer no irons at all and a picatinny rail.

Pardini does NOT have it figured out. You get to pick between a horribly thin rail in the middle of the pistol that doesn't hold up to .32 firing. Or you get a picatinny rail all the way up on the nose, who doesn't want their red dot all the way forward.

I think the sight is correct, it's the gun that is pointing the wrong way....    

I am with Outthere. Where are the crossslots? Looks like you can use an Aimoint Micro, but what if you want an Ultradot with rings? And with that design it does not appear you can put a picatinny rail on it. Am I missing something?

There are 2 very good rail options for the MG2 Evo with no integral rail.

OK, I am confused. I have been waiting to see the new bullseye version with the integral dot rail that was being developed. Is that what was posted? Or is the better option the MG2 Evo with the rail that is added to it? Sorry for my confusion but I am interest in the best set up for a dot, in a bullseye specific configuration.

Please see the above updated posts. This is the MG2 with integral rail for the BE version. 

It is hard to have one "best setup" for mounting red dot that satisfies every shooter. My preference is the basic version without the integral rial and mount a rail from Jon or Slava, or make your own custom rail.

Happy Easter.

I think the folks at the factory had too much wine when they took these photos. lol
