The Micro sight screws to a Micro-pattern base, and that base clamps the Picatinny rail. Choose the base height for the posture you want: cowitness with irons on a carbine, or 1.93 in for a heads-up hold.
On an airsoft replica the same mount fits a good 20 mm RIS or RIS II rail. On a cheap clone rail, check the mount seats square before locking it down.
