Quoted: I just purchased a new flat top AR15 (my first one since my Army days) . From your Army days-"nose to charging handle".This will position the buttpad high on your shoulder, with only the bottom "in the socket". Check out the war pictures, and see how the GI/JH's are using them. |

Yea, after I put on the sites it all came back to me. Just seemed weird without any sights on it. Ended up putting a BUSHNELL HOLO sight on it (Iron sights for backup up). Love it. Thanks

Nice... I did some photography in HS for the yearbook and newspaper, and then some camera work when I was with AFRTS for two years. The only "glamour" photos I ever took were for a friend whose wife had an "interesting" website business. I was just helping her out, of course. I hope you understand that I can't post those pictures here... [;)]

Armalite makes a one piece scope mount that raises the scope to the correct hieght.

Depends on the optics...a riser or high rings will work on a flattop...or any number of different ARMS mounts, carry handle mounts, etc. I guess it boils down to how "authentic" you want it to look. Here's a couple of photos...you won't see this setup in Iraq, but it seems to poke little holes in paper just fine [:D]

Because you used URL tags instead of IMG tags.

I've got an Armalite and am about to put an ARMS #22 on it with a Leupold VX-III 3.5-10x50. I'm also putting an ARMS flip up rear and Knight's flip up front sights on it. I've also got an Aimpoint ML2 I can attach if I choose to. Both optic and red dot are in mounts that rezero if removed and reattached so if I do go to iron sights I can go immediately back to dot or glass.

Do a search on the ARMS #22 mounts. Have heard from someone on this board that they don't hold zero very well.

I can't imagine ARMS #22s losing zero, BUT they don't let you mount the scope forward enough. That's the primary reason that the Armalite mount is as popular as it is. That and it rezeros very well.

They look rock solid on there but I guess they could have a problem just like anything could. It mounts the VX-3 at just the right distance but that may be just that particular scope and my hold. I'll know after I finally get to take it to the range and play with it. That and the ARMS flip up sights I need to zero also.

Der "Squid" and "Troy" have got it right - as usual ! A lot of thought went into designing that ArmaLite mount and it is an often overlooked solution. IMHO |
