Picked a used SPARC off calguns and I LOVE it. Great red dot.

A couple questions though....

Any chance on vortex making or another vendor already making flip up covers for the unit??

Second question, I have the unit mounted on the included high mount plus the thin spacer and it's still not quite lining up with my magnifier in a larue style mount. Any quick fixes or should I just get the Larue T1 mount??

Thanks again!

We don't have any flip up covers for it, but Butler Creeks should fit it. I believe that PreachermanMatt got some that worked for it in this review: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=2&f=277&t=187104

As far as the mount goes, how much lower is the SPARC than the Larue flip mount? Are you able to measure it? The only thing that I can think of that might work, other than getting the LT T-1 mount, would be to use another spacer, but you'd need longer mount screws to make that work. That would also assume it wouldn't put it too high.

Let me know what you think. If you think another spacer might work I could see if I can send you one to test it out. Although you'd have to find longer screws.
