I WOULD ONLY CONSIDER TWO CHOICES:
AIMPOINT EOTECH ON LARUE TACTICAL MOUNT THE EOTECH IS TOO LOW WITHOUT THIS MOUNT. WES GRANT M.S.T.N. |

Thanks. Those two are what I have been looking at. I had a feeling the eotech was too low, but I wasn't sure there was enough room for the Larue mount in front of the LMT. |

The EOTech works just fine mounted directly on the receiver and a lot of people including myself do not find it too low. If you use it properly with both eyes open and focusing on the target you will never notice the FSB. You won't know until you've tried it. If by chance you find it's too low for you then you can add the LaRue mount but I wouldn't get the LaRue mount until you've tried using the EOTech without it first... |

The LaRue EOTech mount and LMT BUIS WILL NOT fit together. You will need to go with the LaRue BUIS or a TROY/ARMS flip up BUIS...

Dumb questions. Could YHM mini risers be used? How about a scout look by mounting on my YHM FF forend?

The YHM riser will put the EOTech to high... C4 |

If CAAAwarfighter went with the ML2 what type of mount would be needed to avoid interference with the FSB? Also, are the iron sights usable with these optics mounted? I'm in the exact same boat with CAAAwarfighter. Thanks for your help.

The LaRue Tactical CCO would be my choice for an Aimpoint mount. It put the irons in the lower 1/3 of the Aimpoint window... C4 www.gandrtactical.com |

Anybody know where the LMT BUIS would appear in an eotechs window. 1/2 1/3 ? Also anybody have the LaRue aimpoint mount in stock and is it a more matte black finish now? Thanks

The irons will be more centered in the EOTech window. I will have the LT Aimpoint mount in stock tomorrow... C4 |

WHO SAYS YOU HAVE TO MOUNT THE EOTHING ON THE RECEIVER?
TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF "COWITNESSING", ONE MUST FIRST HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW PARALLAX FREE SIGHTING SYSTEMS WORK. THE IRON SIGHTS ARE ON AN AXIS 1.4" ABOVE THE FLAT TOP UPPER. SO IS THE CENTER OF AN EOTECH SCREEN WHEN THE EOTECH IS MOUNTED TO THE RECEIVER. THIS IS WHY WITH A FIXED REAR SIGHT AND AN EOTECH MOUNTED TO THE RECEIVER, YOU ARE LOOKING RIGHT THROUGH THE REAR PEEP APERTURE WITH THE DOT CENTERED IN THE SCREEN. TO SOME, LIKE MYSELF, THIS IS CLUTTERED AND LIMITS YOUR FIELD OF VIEW. ALL PROPER AIMPOINT MOUNTS PUT THE CENTER OF THE AIMPOINT TUBE 1.55" - 1.7125" ABOVE THE FLAT TOP TO AVOID THIS. THE NEW LARUE TACTICAL EOTECH MOUNT RAISES THE EOTECH JUST ENOUGH TO DO THE SAME THING. M.S.T.N. HAS ALL LARUE TACTICAL MOUNTS, SIGHTS, RINGS, ETC., IN STOCK, WITH THE SINGLE EXCEPTION OF THE FULL-SIZE ACOG MOUNT, AND IN THE HIGHLY FASHIONABLE FLAT BLACK INSISTED UPON BY THE WELL-DRESSED AR15.COM CROWD. ;) I THINK I'LL START SELLING MY LARUE GEAR WITH BRONZE COLORED STAINLESS FITTINGS FOR A PREMIUM!

Now I am probably in the minority here, but I like the EOtech 551 without an extra mount. I use a KAC 300M BUIS that is usually out of the way, but I also like the fact of a true co-witness - i.e., the irons and dot line up perfectly. Some say it isn't as fast getting a cheek weld than if the sight was a smidge higher, but hey - I'm not that good to notice the diff. With the LMT BUIS, I find it a little to busy, and would probably agree with others where you would want the dot riding above the irons.

I am assuming that the highly fashionable flat black LaRue accessories will go well with the pearls I will probably have to get my wife if I buy much more gun gear.

I guess I don't see the point of having a parallax free, HUD sight like an EoTech if you have to look thru the peep sight anyway? |
