AFAIK, ADM And LT are the only options that aren't stock. I like the fact that I can run a zip tie through the LaRue lever without having to wrap the whole module in zip ties or p-cord.

Anything wrong with the latest factory mounts, though? They also have a hole for zip tying the lever shut.

Yes that's the way things usually work, when you disassemble something, you can remove parts.

For switching between daylight optics and my IR optic. I can only afford one $6k IR scope so I'm forced to switch it between platforms.

Clip On Thermal/NV is the only time I've ever actually used the QD function in any situation where it wouldn't be as practical to grab a multitasker on a mount, but then again most the units I've used sit in front of the primary optic so that was specifically QD on the unit itself.

Because they're a lower cost option to better products.
Want QD? Go LaRue.
Want bolt on? Go Geissele.

I have a larue, and 2 ADM's. The ADM's are better. It's a better design with more contact surface area to the rail, ADM cost less, and even look better to me. Mike needs updated his mounts the design is outdated compared to newer products.

I have 6. I'm not understanding how one randomly loses a spring?

I take my scopes and red dots on and off routinely.
Lever off.
Lever on.

The spring is held with the lever and nut.
The nut rests in a hex recess.

I bought an ADM MRO mount last year for $52. At that price, I couldn't pass it up. I've been happy with it so far.

I like all things Geissele as well.

Pressburg said in a podcast certain deployments he kept a magnifier or a different optic (don't remember which) in a pouch and added it when needed, but the discussion had more to do with NVG and IR and sighting systems.

There are obviously quite a few scenarios where QD is necessary(certainly the ones you mentioned), I just feel like a lot of peoples reasons are an answer searching for a question.

Then again I'm just some guy who takes pictures of shit and posts it on the internet, so I really don't have any legitimate qualifications to make that assessment, but the Geissele mounts are aesthetic as fuck though.

I've been offered no technical explanation that I'm satisfied with that steers me away from the opinion that ADM is the best QD mount available without spending $400+. So yes you can.

Do you enjoy the possibility of randomly losing a spring?

When you remove the receiver extension, the buffer retainer and spring, and takedown detent spring go flying into space.
Poor design.

My ADM 1/3 QD mount for my MRO works.

also, while I do enjoy SUPER PRECISION; I don't enjoy the rather large nut protruding on the side.

The only time I'm taking my optic off my rifle is if it fails.

If I'm in that kind of situation losing a spring is the least of my worries.

If something happens and it flies across the room into orbit to join countless detents/springs; ADM will make it right.

I did lose a ADM spring on a magnifier or pvs-14 mount (can't remember for sure which it was). It was an optic that spent almost all of its time in a pouch and somewhere along the line the spring fell out. Of course the spring won't fall out if the mount is on the rifle. ADM sent me a new spring.

95% of Optics never leave the rifle. It would only be taken off in the event the optic failed, the chance of which is approaching zero.

I do have a few LaRues and a Bobro mount but honestly they seem overpriced to me. I do think their mounting system is better than ADM but the ADM is going to be good enough unless you are taking the optic on and off alot, which is almost never the case. Geissele prices are ridiculous.

In most applications I'd agree with you. In the case of my Block 1 clone they aren't, if I somehow managed to break my ACOG I'd have to remove it to deploy the BUIS. I also use an ADM RMR mount on my Scorpion Evo and the optic doesn't cowitness with the irons so same scenario, different weapon. QD all the things makes no sense to me.
