there are dealers here that sell them in the equipment exchange for less than what arms sells them for.

there are also people selling them used there also for much less

A fellow shooter at Pat Rogers AAR class had this setup. I could push the mount back and forth with minimal effort.

Every ARMS mount I find on an AR I am pushing and pulling on it to find if it is holding zero. Isn't looking to good so far...

They slide back and forth but hold zero whether to the front or rear of the rail slot in my experience. I dont like ARMS throw levers AT ALL but I do find they hold zero. I also notice Pat saw them hold zero as well but attributed this to "close range" but even in that case they held zero. ARMS throw levers also have that annoying flap which is always in the way when trying to install the throw lever and they range from flip with your pinky to must hit with a hammer to close on the same rail with different throw levers even when those throw levers are on the same mount! I hate them but they held zero none the less.

Sliding back and forth on the rail while you are shooting is not a good thing. While it MIGHT not affect your zero at close range, it will at longer distances.

I have never had a problem keeping Sub MOA groups with ARMS throw levers on Leupolds and various ACOGs whether they were loose or tight. I still wont buy another. I hate them.

Yep, that's the ARMS mount.

Save yourself some time and money. Click Here

Get a LaRue mount which will not shift, slop, shake, or shimmy loose. You also won't have to mess with a little "pad" of metal that does always seem to get in the way when you need to close the lever. Also with LaRue you'll get a throwlever made from a solid chunk of steel, not MIM.

I don't care how close you are to the target, a moving optic is UNACCEPTABLE.

Well i'll be damned! i was one of those with the idea ARMS mounts were top notch. Like the best there was out there!!

That is actually the LaRue mount I am using on my main carbine. It puts the Aimpoint out there a bit farther than LaRue standard mount does. This would allow you to put the Aimpoint out over your handguard nut/delta ring. And it makes for a great set-up to run an Aimpoinjt 3x maginifier behind it in a LaRue standard Aimpoint mount.

Here's a pic of what I am using:

The LaRue standard Aimpoint mount shown here is an original design unit. Even has the bronze colored throw-lever on it. I am saving it for a conversation/collection piece.
