I have a tactical mount on my RRA and have just ordered a new Comp M3. From what I understand, the mount was designed for this series of sights with a low wide ring to co-witness properly. My problem is that I cannot find a ring that I am looking for. A rep @ RRA told me that they use to carry the GP5220 rings for it, but they stopped over a year ago (doesn't make much sense if they are still selling a lot of Tactical "carry" handles).
I was also told that
THIS RING might work ... problem is that it is silver (would prefer black - guess if I need to I can paint it).
I know a lot of you are probably going to say "ditch the (non)tactical (non)handle and buy a good rear BUIS and a good mount for the CompM". Problem is that would run me over half of what the sight cost me and I am back on a tight budget after buying the sight. Unfortunately, for a while, $$ will be an issue ... unless someone wants to trade me a nice BUIS and Comp mount for the (non)tactical (non)handle

Thanks in advance for your help.
