| Did a search and didnt find anything on this so here it goes. Got micro t-1 o. The way. Looking at different mounts. For co witness. Any thoughts. Looks At the larue and the a.r.m.s. both pretty close in price. Any preferences. I see lot more on here about larue than anything. So I'm guessing most everyone on here is into larue. So I'm looking g at the larue lt751. And the arms#31. It's going on my 14.5" light weight. With my geissele mk4 rail. |

When I purchased mine there were only three options if I remember correctly. Larue, arms, and KAC. I went with Larue and have been super happy. I think the KAC mount is nice also. I don't buy arms stuff.
Now there is the Daniel defense, ADM, spikes, etc. Lots of good options. I can vouch that the Larue is gtg though. |

Quoted: If one or both of your "iron sights" are fixed, I recommend the lower 1/3 cowitness.Does anyone have an opinion on absolute or 1/3 co witness? If you have folding front and rear sights, the "absolute" or lower 1/3 cowitness will work well for you. People who are unfamiliar, confused, or misinformed about the meaning of "absolute" cowitness seem to think it is inherently more accurate or better because "absolute" is an adjective that indicates perfection. If you have a micro size red dot sight (or a full size aimpoint for that matter), fixed iron sights can really clutter up the sight picture. |

I honestly prefer the lower 1/3rd co-witness either way but the LT751 looks pretty cool. |

Does anyone have an opinion on absolute or 1/3 co witness? Yes. I have both set ups and prefer absolute co-witness with BUIS folded down. I get a better cheek weld with the sight a bit lower, better field of view compared to my AR with lower 1/3 + FSB and LMT BUIS, plus it's aligned slightly closer to the bore for less off-set. main reason is cheek weld, all faces are not the same, try both and see which lines up better for you. I know there is the "BUIS should always be up" camp and that's very valid thinking but I choose not to for various reasons, but this thread isn't about that. |

The LaRue LT 751 mount is the way I set it up. |
