i recently got a 512 AA model and im wondering how far forward above the delta ring can you mount one

if you have a full length rail, i've had my 552 mouned all the way forward on my ras..  
or do you mean just the reciever..

I have mine forward of the receiver and just about to touch (not bridged onto) the RAS.

Mine over hangs over the MOE handguard 1.5-2". Leaves me plenty of room to access controls free from my BUIS.

I would think as long as it's got a solid bite to mount onto the upper and clears the hand guard or rail you should be gtg.

Those that mount it forward the delta ring...

What do you see as the advantage to this? Not bashing your decision at all... I'm more or less curious as a fellow 512 owner.  I mount mine as far back as possible, close to the Rear Troy filp-up.

I tried the forward mount once, didn't like it due to weight balance issues.

You can mount it up to the last slot that it will hold it technically and it should be fine.  Do you run a rail or the factory plastic handguard? I like to run non magnified optics as close to the center of the rifle as possible....gives you good balance and a better view of you surroundings.

M5 RAS handguard, im wanting to get a magnifier behind the eotech which requires it to be pretty far forward
