[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Scope ring height on an AR with Swan sleeve

Posted: 3/4/2005 10:37:15 AM EST

I want to work up some loads for my AR and therefore want to to pop a scope on it.
I have a SWAN sleeve(mid length) with the pop up BUIS and the rear bell doesn't clear the sight with medium rings.
I didn't want medium, I asked for high but the local shop said with the sleeve that medium would be fine.
The height seems tolerable but the clearance is not.
So now I wonder if I should swap them for high or extra high?
Any folks out there have the same set up?
Thanks

WHAT IS THE OUTSIDE DIAMETER OF YOUR OCULAR LENS? IT MUST BE UNUSUALLY LARGE NOT TO WORK WITH ARMS MEDIUM RINGS, WHICH HAVE A RING CENTERLINE HEIGHT OF 1.15".

OR IS THE ARMS REAR SIGHT THE POINT OF INTERFERENCE? IT SITS UP 0.95" WHEN STOWED. IF SO, YOU MAY SIMPLY HAVE TO MOVE YOUR SCOPE FURTHER FORWARD AND, IF YOU HAVE A COLLAPSABLE STOCK, COLLAPSE THE STOCK A NOTCH. SEE BELOW:

My humble rifle

I was unclear in my inital post.
I was trying with Leupold mediums, the high mounts seem to do the trick
I'm mounting the scope to test handloads, usually it has a ReflexII.
