Quick Question.....

Seems odd that it would lock in place backwards.

Has anyone here ever tried that?

Can it really lock in?

Yes it can. It's on a standard Picatinny rail not a custom mount. Mine has a quick release and would be easy to put on backwards. The mistake would be obvious first time you tried to use it but if they don't store the sights on the rifles I could see it happening. Still, it's really sloppy. Hopefully that was training and not a real emergency.

I don't own an Eotech sight, but yeah, that's the first thing that crossed my mind. He was in a hurry and ended up placing the scope on backwards. ...And as recall seeing, Eotech sights have either thumbs screws to lock it down or they use a quick-detach lever like this one:
