 What Mount to Co-Witness Aimpoint with Iron Sights on Shrike 5.56?

At first pass it looks like will not be able to co-witness the full size Aimpoint with the iron sights, with a rear (top cover) mount.
- Anyone have luck getting a micro to co witness on the top cover?
- Anyone find a setup to mount an Aimpoint (either full size or micro) or Eotec on the rail hand-guard, such that you can co-witnes with the iron sights?

Thanks and as always appreciate photos.

I've run a micro with the larue low(zero) mount. Worked wonderfully. On all three of the uppers I've used so far. I never tried a full size, as I've run the micro as long as they have been out.

Thanks, looks like the Shrike is going to cost more ... another sight and mount ;-).

I used a T1 as well on a AAR it works great. The AAR has the same sight plane as the AMG.
