I would like to mount a scope to the carry handle of my AR. The simple question is do I need high, medium, or low rings with a pro-mag base and scope with these dimensions? Tube Diameter: 1" Objective Diameter: 41mm Ocular Diameter: 44mm I don't think the end bells will be hitting anything with low rings, but they might obscure the iron sights. (Haven't decided if that is a concern with a scope mounted.) High rings might raise the scope too much for cheek weld. What are you guys using on carry handles? Thanks! |
| Interference is not the issue with a carry handle mount in your instance. If the handle is not detachable, I'd go with the lowest set-up possible. You may or may not be bothered by the front sight being visable through the scope. Alot of folks dont mind and can look past it. Me, it bothers, so I have mine mounted high enough to be clear. There are adjustable cheek pieces for the collapsible models, and replacement adjustable stock for the A1 and A2 models that will allow a somewhat comfortable "cheek weld". Admittadly, the factory fixed stock versions are not the best candidate for a scope if they arent a flat top model. |
