What if you put a smooth contour on the top center to aide viewing, it might also act like a rear gun sight?
As for the T-shot, you might have some type of indent to snap it into place. I didn't find the Male T-slot to see it.
This part would fit right in with Dan's store.
please check the video I made for the C4 mount and you'll see how it snaps in
