Which scalar works t2 mount height with Attached File the UTG mount option? Attached File I'm leaning towards the 1.42" or 1.57" height- which one is the practical choice? I'm ordering 2 UTG MP5 optic rail mounts today. A tiny bit of front sight hood in the Aimpoint T2 objective is somewhat acceptable as long as I can still use the irons. So which one 1.42" or the 1.57"? Thanks |

Thanks. Also where can I get that lower grip housing you have there? Is that the AP5k MKE clone version? I have the older Zenith import MKE and would like that straighter grip without that thumb swell or whatever it is. |

What does the sight picture look like with the Scalarworks 1.42"? It looks as though it may still clear the MP5 front sight hood? I'm trying to decide between a 1.42" & 1.57" I already have a couple of the 1.57" on hand but not the UTG Pro picatinny claw mount. Thanks |

To clarify I'm needing to just clear the front sight hood with either a T2 or a Sig Romeo5 GEN2 Dot sight. I'm trying to decide on the lower 1.42" is OK if it's just a little of the top of front sight hood in the picture. |
