    the simple answer is yes

    you may need an adaptor for the barrel to house the 11mm dovetail

    Possible but not easy.

    You should be able to find a rear sight that will fit on the scope rail, but the fore sight may need an adapter machined to fit the fore end of the barrel.

    I had a silencer adaptor modified to hold a HW front sight unit and used a Williams Sports peep sight on my Daystate FTR.

    Because we can.

    Theres not much tinkering and fettling you can do with a pcp and shooting a totally recoilless rifle with open sights is fun - and isn't that what airgunning is about.

    I've done it here..... Gamo diopter set, went straight on using a barrel adaptor. Nice to try something different
