Not mangled in the least 
It can be put back to standard in under a minute, without even losing zero. The rail bolts to the rearsight mount hole. I shoot 6 yds paper in the UBC internet comps using open sights, and pistol FT with the red dot on. Open sights are not ideal for shooting irregular shaped silhouettes, at unknown ranges, sometimes in dark woodland, from about 4-25 yds. I won the 09-10 NEFTA winter league pistol comp with this setup.
I do intend to join a local club and have a go at "proper" 10m though so don't worry it will get used as Steyr intended too.
