Think I've finally got it where I want it. The Elcan is sweet to look through, and I can't believe I've waited this long to get a 500 lumen weapon light. Now all I need is that Surefire SOCOM 7.62 mini can and I'm in business. (plus I could use it on my Ruger Gunsite Scout for hunting)

LaRue Tactical LT104 or LT158 ??? I have mine mounted in a LT139 and prefer it for proper eye relief with my desired stock adjustment. The CQBSS is a long scope and has generous eye relief, I think the 139 is the way to go, the 104 may work for you but as you can sees from my pic the 139 puts the eye piece right to the edge of the upper receiver, same positioning as the one below it 
another option would be the "clone correct" backwards Leopold mount.

Is that a LT139 (SPR-E, 3 inches) or LT104 (2 inches)? I blew up the first picture below, and it looks like it has SPR-E on the side. If you shoot NTCH, Leupold Mark 8 IMS Mounting System 110296 is the only mount I know that can get you the proper eye relief (3.7") without having the mount cross the rail and the upper receiver. It is also clone correct. Originally Posted By G_MAN: Originally Posted By Adel: Originally Posted By Great_Balls_of_Fire: ETA.

I do not shoot NTCH (unless I'm shooting Irons, which I no longer do) and don't see why, other than habit, you would shoot a CQBSS equipped AR NTCH, but that's a different discussion. |

I do not shoot NTCH (unless I'm shooting Irons, which I no longer do) and don't see why, other than habit, you would shoot a CQBSS equipped AR NTCH, but that's a different discussion. CQBSS has an exit pupil between 21mm (at 1.1x) to 3mm (at 8x). If you think Elcan at 1x (32mm) is difficult to work with, then CQBSS is even more so. NTCH give one more point of reference, in addition to just cheek weld. The Leupold Mark 8 IMS Mounting System 110296 was designed specifically for CQBSS, and is part of issue kit, I believe, and it has a very long extension for a reason. Shooting NTCH is NOT for everyone, of course. If one is over 6', then shooting NTCH would probably be pretty awkward, due to long LOP. If you have specific reasons why CQBSS should not be shot with NTCH, I would like to hear about them. According to a related thread, this guy took the first place that day. It was a M-TMR reticle.  This is a photo showing the Leupold MK8 IMS mount used with MK8 CQBSS. This was 2012 in AFG.  |

Either way, is there a reason you feel you need the 1.44" centerline as opposed to the 1.5"? I understand mounting an optic closer to the bore is preferable, but I'd imagine that small of a difference isn't going to be a big issue either way. Unless of course I'm missing something else, which is entirely possible.

My fde 553 su-231 peq marked Eo is in, thanks to gaston! looks great. I'm calling the Block II upper done w/ only a cdq for the rail and a good sling to find.
Still hunting down a m4a1 lower but, my Armalite lower will work for now under it. Hoping to get it out this weekend to get the buis dialed in and to see how it's going to run.

You would be surprised what airsofters buy. They will pony up and buy actual AOR1 kit and pay through the nose for it so they can be king of the airsoft nerds. |
