You can have it done QUICKLY, done INEXPENSIVELY, done CORRECTLY. Pick any two.

How many notches do you think? I just slapped it all togeather on my lunch break when the barrel came in, so i haven't toyed with it yet. How do you feel about a half inch riser as well? To drop the buis into the lower third of the field of vision.

I've got the offset mount on the way and a half inch riser. Brightflashlights in the industry forum is an accessory god. All the lighting equipment YHM and magpul gear is from him. saved me hundreds.

Here is a picture of mine, I wouldn't want it any further back than it is in this pic. I would mount mine more forward, but it is a duty weapon, and farther forward interferes with my vehicle mount lock assembly.

If you try it, I think you will find it aids in keeping both eyes open while shooting. There is less tendency to use it like a scope when it is further forward.
