Looking for a Aimpoint H1 mount that will raise the sight about 1/4 of inch higher than the factory mount. I want a mount that will give a lower 1/3 co-witness. I tried using a 1/2 riser had and it gives upper 1/3 co-witness.

I have my H-1 mounted with an ADM low mount for the Aipoint Micro. I don't know about the co-witness since i don't use it with the sights. If my Aimpoint goes down on me I will use the quick release lever on the mount and remove it, and flip up the sights. The ADM SOCOM mount height might be a better for what you want to do.

Here is how it looks on my 556 SBR.

Buy a set of Auroras, and you'll have a decent co-witness set up with just the factory Aimpoint mount.

Went with the new Aimpoint Patrol in the low QRP mount, it gives a perfect lower 1/3 co-witness.

Which Larue? I've got a 660 and it's way too tall. The 660HK, 751 or the 661?

I've also tried a KAC micro mount, but even without the spacers it's too tall.

I've got a 552 with the B&T rail, not sure if that's a different height than a 556 with the factory rail because I don't have one to compare with.
