Masks and scope?

Question

I want to be safe and still be able to look thru my airsoft scope clearly. Can I look thru a scope while wearing a mask?

Answer 1

Depends on the mask, the scope, and the gun.  If the gun has a dropped stock (like an AK) then you should be able to sight down the barrel and therefore be able to look through a scope.

Most airsoft guns have straight stocks like this one: http://www.airsoftatlanta.com/images/ump... .  This is great for a real weapon, for many reasons (which I wont embellish here).  But it means that you must put a riser or an offset rail in order to use a scope.   A riser moves the scope up further allowing you to sight through it even with goggles on.  An offset rail moves the scope to the left or right of the gun for the same purpose.
