Yes and No depending on the model Blue Gun, Modular Optic Systems for red dot sights usually requires attachment to to the mounting plate on the slide. Optics can be fitted to the slide of the MOS cutout. Drilling and tapping is required since Blue Guns have no moving parts and the the screw holes for the optics mount are filled in during the manufacturing process. If you order a model to install a MOS optic be sure to order one with NTP (No top plate) if available as this exposes the cut out on the slide to mount the optic as in the real gun. If an MOS ready model is ordered the the top plate is not removable as it is solid cast into the slide. Of course all Blue Guns can be modified and the top plate area can be milled and drilled as necessary to accommodate most optics.
