Proper co-witness would place the 1MOA dot on top of the front sight post (like an Aimpoint) with the 65MOA circle touching each side of the sight tower "wings". Hope that's descriptive enough.
Do a search and you'll find some pics of EOTech reticles properly co-witnessed. |

Hope that's descriptive enough. Do a search and you'll find some pics of EOTech reticles properly co-witnessed. Right. I understand that and I've seen the pics showing this. My question is: What will mounting a 551 on an M4 RAS do in concert with the A2 carry handle sights? Will it give the proper co-witness or will it place the reticle higher in relation to the front sight post? I'm looking for the EOTech reticle to sit slightly "higher" in the window than a true co-witness would allow. |

The 1MOA dot should rest right on top of the front iron tip. the EOTech is design to sit perfectly with the upper receiver rail and the KAC hab=ndguard rail is on the same plain as the upper receiver rail.

OK. What spacer would let the 6 o'clock hash mark sit on top of the front sight post in lieu of the 1 MOA dot? I just don't like how crowded the sight picture gets when it's co-witnessed with the EOTech.

That is how the sight is designed, if you like a higher setup, youare probably better off getting the Aimpoint which has several different mounting solution which will position the iron in the lower third of the optic window.

Fair enough.
I swear I've seen some pics here of the front sight being below the 65 MOA circle. |

I just don't like how crowded the sight picture gets when it's co-witnessed with the EOTech. If you raised the EOTech sight higher than it's intended mounting position you wouldn't be able to look through your A2 iron sights and see your front sight. This is the same problem EOTech owners have when mounting their sights on top of a SIR with a BUIS (on the receiver portion of the rifle). Hope this helps. |

Another option for you chuckhammer is to get a PRI front flip up sight. You can fold it down and then it won't clutter your EOTech picture..
