It may have to be raised slightly more to avoid your barrel blocking the sight picture.
I tried looking down my red dot with the flat top rail and even with an Apex on, I couldn't see it. I doubt sight obstruction would be an issue.

There is a little room for improvement but overall, it should be close to 4-5 cm. The trick to getting it to angle enough and evenly is with the height. If you use a stock, this would be great because it would also serve as a riser.

I've contacted Flatlinesup! already but he's sick right now. Waiting to hear from him.

You could put tick marks on the side of the rail for certain distances based on your setup. That way, based on how far away your target is, you can quickly set the dot with the thumb screw for that distance. Last thing you want is to have to take out an allen wrench and adjust before the target moves.
