As long as you have a mount for it, it should work fine. A larger MOA dot will make longer-range shots a bit funky (due to the sheer size of the dot), but I use a low-MOA red dot on my S&W M&P-15/22 as its standard sight and love it for 50 yards and less. 100 yards works okay, but the dot pretty much obscures much of a 6" target at that range. Friends who are not regular shooters love using the red dot on my M&P-15/22 over the magified optics on my MKII FV-SR. Perhaps your friend's son may be the same?
