I was wondering the same thing. I've read that the LaRue mount puts the dot right on top of the front sight. Does the ARMS mount do the same? I've heard good things about the LaRue mount but I still like the looks of the ARMS setup better.

It will co-witness nicely. Its a solid set up, but IMHO the 38 sleeves add more weight than is necessary to achieve the goal. I ran this set up with a full length 38 rail variation for a while. If you are sold on ARMS, get a 40 BUIS, and a 22M68 with either a full or cantilever spacer and you'll be happier in the long run. Better yet, go with your name, and get a LaRue.

It's the ARMS #22M68 with Cantilever extension.
I have one, too.

Those who have the ARMS mount: When you throw the lever to tighten the mount, does it get pretty solid? Does it feel loose or anything like that? I thought I read somewhere that the ARMS mounts aren't as sturdy on non ARMS rails (like there own forerams/rails or bigger or something and there mounts where ment for those).

All of my ARMS products lock up SOLID. But, all of my railed products are purchased from companies that are known for making their rails exactly in-spec. The problem occurs when a rail isn't in-spec (this happens more than you'd imagine), as then any fixed throw-lever will be too tight or too loose. ARMS can modify your mount to accomidate either, but then you're making your mount non-standard too, so it won't be easily moved from one gun to another. (This is the part where the LaRue folks talk about the LaRue's adjustable throwlevers...) -Troy |

Troy is correct. There are a lot of rails out there that are not to the Picatinny spec. I have ARMS throw levers mounted on my LaRue Tactical 7.0 and I cannot get them open withou using a tool of some kind (to pry the lever open). My personal opinion is that ARMS throw levers work best on ARMS rails..... C4 |

My ARMS mount works flawlessly on my Bushy M4A3 upper.
It's not loose, yet not so tight I have to use a breaking device to get it off. |

That gooseneck mount doesn't get the scope up too high to get a good cheek weld, does it?

Thanks for that info. Anyone know what the width of the rail should be? I have a mic and could measure mine to see how close to spec it is. My 2nd question is regarding the cowitnessing of the ARMS mount with an Aimpoint. I believe the LaRue mount is 1.60" high (which is suppost to put the dot directly above the front sight). How does the ARMS #22M68 plus #38 sleeve compare? |

All of the mounts shown in this thread are designed to cowitness the optic with the iron sights. What that means is that the optic is mounted at about the same height as the irons so that if the optic fails in any way you can look through the optic while using the irons. |

If you insist on using the shame-point, LaRue mounts are the best. Actually, that goes for most other optics as well.

Does anyone have a picture of an Aimpoint/22M68 on an #39 carry-handle rail co-witnessed? Will it co-witness OK without a spacer? I've looked thru the optics forum and elsewhere and can't find one.

I have the GGG Cantilever Aimpoint mount and it is one of the better mounts out there in my opinion- sturdy as all hell, holds a spare battery, and places the aimpoint in perfect position. I also think its the best looking cantilever mount out there right now. A bit pricey though, get one used if you can. |

What type of BUIS is that. This is my first aimpoint and believe it or not I had never heard of LaRue mounts. Might be cool to have my name on my gun though.. |

The BUIS is a LMT. LaRue makes a BUIS as well (name on the side).

I have been wanting to add optics to my M4gery and have been reading as much as I can on the subject. My original plan was to use a #38 sleeve with a 22M68. Then I read a post by Pat Rogers on Tatical Forums and he suggested that a mount on a mount is not the best solution. I am starting to like the cantilever more and more. What do you guys think that jave each setup?
Thanks |

There is nothing at all wrong with the original
Aimpoint QRP mount that came with my M2. I like it.
