Does PA make a straight riser to get to 1.7?  If not - could you please consider it.

If anyone knows any options to get these to 1.7 I'd appreciate it.

I think the PA axis is lower to the mount than an Acog so the heights may be off.
PA has several options above and below 1.7, but their spacers are the weak link IMO.

I'll give them a call. I am wondering if the Midwest industry mini ACOG mount will do it.

I have the Midwest and American Defense straight mounts. I try and get you some heights in a little bit.

With the straight ADM on the SLx 1x I get real close to 1.7". The mount is about .74" high. I also like that it allows all three screw to be used to hold the optic on.

The Midwest mount is only .5" high and only allows two screws to hold the optic on.

Thanks Joe. Are you using the MI high mount (pictured below)?

@-OdieGreen- I think you've been down this road. Any guidance?

I think I've mathed it and I need a mount where this distance in red to be 1.26 inches to use with standard spacer to get to 1.7

Yes that is the MI mount I have and measured that distance you marked with a set of calipers. I also measured that same spot on the straight ADM. Not sure if the height of the GLx and the SLx are the same to the center.

I get a 1.7" height with the ADM mount. You are adding too much looking for a mount with 1.2" of height.

I measured top of gun rail to center of optic and got real close to 1.7"

I have the ADM 1.5” cantilever, and two older ADM flat/low mounts with the PA riser at 1.5” I think. I’ll try and grab a measurement later but confident they’re not 1.7”.

Thanks. Can you shoot me a link to the ADM mount you have?

I have the AD-B5 mount. Bottom of the drop down box has the option for the B5.
