I am trying to run a TA11J / Offset T1 setup.
I just received my LT100 and started to mount it up when I noticed a few things: - The mount I received is different to the one in all of the pictures on the Larue website showing the ACOG / T1 combo. The levers on the website are shown on the ejection port side facing the shooter. The one I received have them facing the muzzle. - When mounted with levers on ejection port side, the ACOG body conflicts with the rear Troy BUIS body as shown below. http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc218/mluning/LaRuePredatar556/Picture006.jpg http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc218/mluning/LaRuePredatar556/Picture007.jpg http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc218/mluning/LaRuePredatar556/Picture004.jpg - When the levers are mounted on the other side, the TA11 sits forward. I do not own the Aimpoint T1 or LT724 yet, but I would imagine that this would not allow room for the offset mount and the lever would not latch because of the other lever from the LT100. http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc218/mluning/LaRuePredatar556/Picture008.jpg http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc218/mluning/LaRuePredatar556/Picture009.jpg What gives? Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I have seen other peoples' setups on here with the levers facing forward, but their TA11s do not conflict with the rear Troy sight. Why the variation in LT100 mounts with the levers in different directions? Thanks for any help, Mike

| The LT-100 with levers on the right is the LT-622. That's what you are seeing in the pictures coupled with the LT-724. I believe the LT-622 was made for a military contract. When I've called to order one in the past they said they weren't available. Occasionally I have seen them show up on the commercial market though. |

So why do they advertise this TA11 with a 'LT100' with the levers on the right facing the shooter? http://www.laruetactical.com/scopetrijicon-acog-35x35-illuminated-scope-green-crosshair-308-ballistic-reticle-and-lt100-acog-moun That picture is wrong, that's not the LT-100, it's the LT-622 |

Look at the LT100's webpage and it's the mount you have. http://www.laruetactical.com/larue-tactical-acog-mount-qd-lt-100  |

Well it's good to know that now after the fact that I have the goods and nothing is made clear anywhere on the website which have some misleading pictures and lack of information.
I hope I'm the last person that encounters this problem. I'll keep the rear sight, mount, and TA11 and make it work by removing some of the ACOG body because I feel that this is a far more superior setup than anything out on the market right now. No big deal. I appreciate y'alls help. |

Quoted: Before you start modifying anything, try the offset T1 on the rail right in front of the action. That's one of the purposes of the continuous rail system, that you can bridge the action and the rail, if needed. As for the pictures, I tend to look at both the combo page and the mount itself page, and I think I'd have noticed the pictures were different and asked about it.Well it's good to know that now after the fact that I have the goods and nothing is made clear anywhere on the website which have some misleading pictures and lack of information.

No big deal. I appreciate y'alls help. Another option is take that rear sight off and get a LT103. Mount the LT 103 under the front rail and use it it like a hand stop. If you have to take the scope off, put the LT103 in it's place. That's one more step, but what's the odds of both the scope and the RDS going down and not having time to swap them. I've seen a few pics from the sandbox of our troops doing this. |

Even if the T1 mount is slightly on the handguard, I can't see that being an issue on your predatAR as the handguard is bolted to the receiver making it rock solid. |
