i have the armalite 1 inch scope mount, this one to be exact: http://www.armalite.com/ItemForm.aspx?item=EX0027&ReturnUrl=Categories2.aspx?Category=a14c8168-f1cf-4f11-8859-bafe17a66e1e
my qestion is have any of you guys ever used this mount with a scope that has a 50mm objective lens, it works great for the leopould vx2 3-9x40 but iam looking to upgrade to a scope with a 50mm objective lens, (my ar is currently set up with a thm light wieght free float rail btw) |
| Put the mount on your gun, then take a ruler, and place it across your gun, level with the center of the mount, then if there is more then 27mm clearance between the ruler and the rail you will be good. That will tell you if it will fit. If it doesnt you could always buy a riser. |

The Armalite has a 1.25" (31.75 mm) centerline height above the rail. If your handguard is the same height as the receiver rail, you should be able to mount a scope with an objective diameter of 63mm without hitting the rail.
The body will add a little to the diameter, but 50mm should clear, no problem, unless your handguard sits above the receiver rail. If it does, it'll depend on how much higher it is. |
