You generally want to mount your optic as far forward as you are comfortable with. With that being said, I would consider the ARMS #38 EX or S-EX and the ARMS #22M68. This will allow you to mount your optic a little more forward and will give you a great BUIS (ARMS #40) all in one. There are several different ways to do what you want, these are my personal preferences..

IMHO
ARMS #38EX (includes flipup) with #22M68 mounted all the way to the front over the D-ring. somebody has a pick of this I bet. You dont need a spacer for the #22M68 with this set up, very low profile (read as: doesnt snag easily) cp |

I have a #38 Standard and the stock Aimpoint mount, for now. I'm planning on getting a 22M68..
I have mine mounted at the end of the #38STD...I don't have a problem with the Aimpoint being a little closer, if fact I shot it yesterday and it worked out fine...... If you can, look through a couple of different setups and choose the best for you... |

Thanks! |

That is not my rifle......Just a pic i picked up somewhere....But i do have the same setup on my 9mm AR15..And like it alot....Adds a little heft to the middle/end of the rifle so depending on your balance now....Also the top pic shows how much material must be removed on the upper forearm to clear the 38ex when using M4 forearms.....Also if you use any arms SWAN rail on 9mm colt style rifles you must clearence the brass deflector a little........UNDERDOG

You don't need a whole SWAN Sleeve. That adds a lot of extra weight. All you need is the #22M68 and the cantilever spacer.

Well, you can use the BUIS of your choice with this setup. For this rifle, I wanted a fixed rear, but my top choice for a flip-up is an ARMS #40, yes.

Aimpoint QRP "Rail Grabber".
Holds zero very well after mounting dismounting. Built in torqing/tightening knob, and is the most widely issued rail in the U.S. military(SOPMOD package). Having said that, GGG, Knights, ARMS make top knotch mounts and I would'nt hesistate going with any of their Cantilever mounts. Edited to Add: Yeah, and an ARMS #40 will properly cowitness will all of the above. It's my favorite BUIS. |

Get the S.I.R. 50 and a 22M68. You will be ready to rock.
Add a # 40 BU too. |
