I have an aimpoint pro on top of my ar15 with a QD mount and a spacer/riser in between the optic and the QD mount. I have found that with my rifle and butt stock it would be more comfortable and easier for me to have my eye line slightly lower so I took out the riser. I found the screws were too long to be used to secure my red dot back together without including the riser. I looked on the aimpoint website and did not find any shorter screws and I left a voice mail on their help line to get 2 shorter screws that would work with my mount but they do not open back until monday + whatever time it takes them to get to my voice mail and call me back. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get shorter screws to match my mount or if this was a good/bad idea to begin with?
Thanks, Matt |

Thanks, Matt The aimpoint should have came with both long and short screws, mine did. I ended up preferring it with the spacer, take it to the range, then make your decision. |

The screws are 10/32 x 1/4 low socket cap screws.
10/32 thread pitch x 1/4" long and the head design is low socket If you have a large, well stocked hardware store in the area you might find them. If not and Aimpoint doesn't get back to you in a timely manner shoot me an IM with your mailing address and I'll send you a couple. |
