[ARCHIVED THREAD] - running an LMT BUIS w/ Eotech?

Posted: 2/25/2006 1:00:50 PM EDT

Does anyone have this setup? It seems like the LMT would be too high and block a view through the Eotech. Or is this not true? Just to be clear, I'm assuming that the Eotech would be directly on the rec'r and not utilizing a riser such as the Larue.

I think I remember seeing one of Stickman's rigs with a chopped carry handle (basically an LMT sight) with an Eotech.

I'll see if I can find a link.

ETA: Found it!. From the pics it looks like you could co-witness really well, and it wouldnt block anything.

Looks good QUIB. Do you get a lower 1/3 co witness or is it pretty much straight on?

Works just fine. With that said, I find the LMT BUIS is heavy and kind of a waste. Why do you need elevation on a BACK UP sight???

For the record, I am also not a fan of fixed rear sights. If I had to get one though, I would go with the LT. It is lighter, cheaper and simpler.

Mine is not on any riser and it works perfect. If your looking through the irons the dot will be right on the front sight post and if you look over the rear sight it appears just over the front sight post. Either way it's dead on! I preferr this over my setup with the ARMS 40L. Once you get used to it you won't even see the rear sight.

Thanks

You get an absolute co-witness...just like 03USMC11 stated.
