work good for me just took a few rounds to get used to shooting the m14 "heads up". the sight with-stands the m14 ammo superbly
I can't help you with the traditional mount spot, but I have one on a scout mount and it kicks more ass than most people would be willing to behold for fear of getting their own asses kicked by the sheer amount of ass it kicks.

i have not noticed this problem, but i do also know of this happening to others

I have my M-14 setup like that. Just waiting for some warmer weather to give it a test run. Had to put a cheekpiece on to get a good cheek weld. We'll see if it jams or not.
I believe Fabsports has the UTG version of that upper guard with a rail built in. I have never tried it but I think a number of guys here have and they could give you the lowdown on that.
I couldn't tell you where to get a scout mount at the moment (although Brownell's seems likely) as I got mine a while ago but it does bolt to the barrel...you can think of it like a super beefy, upside down scope ring almost, only with a short section of rail where the clamp would ordinarily go.

I've got an ARMS 18 mount on my shorty Norc 14, with the folding stock. I've also got an Eotech 555 [ AA batteries with ARMS dual throw levers ]. For reasons known only to ARMS, the two throw levers on the Eotech 555 will NOT line up with the slots in the ARMS mount rail ... the rail is just !@#$%^& too short.
I got the EO 555 SPECIFICALLY to mount on the 14 ....
any body got a different EO [ PREFERABLY the SHORTER 557 ] they want to swap?
Or maybe an EO WITHOUT the built in ARMS levers??
I would really like an EO on my 14, but so far I'm hooped.
Oh well, I've got a decent, inexpensive BARSKA ACOG clone red dot.
Maybe that would work well on the 14 ....

why is there a question? AR18 mount works well and Eotech works well too. Although for red dots I prefer mounting options that keep them awayay from pupil as far as practical to reduce parallax error. FFor that reason trirail systems that replace upper handguard are proly better solution.
Mind you the best mounting option for red dot (or holo) remain to be Troy chassis or Sage.

Yes, I've considered the YHM 1/2" riser .... and with the folding stock, the extra height is not too bad,
BUT,
I am pi$$ed off at ARMS because the ARMS 18 rail and the ARMS levers on my Eotech don't match up. Why would they do this to me??

I have a eotech 512A65 and will be going with the UTG tri rail option. MUCH cheaper than the ultimak, troy, and sage hehehe
I had to take the rifle in the pic below out to test fire and test fit on a customers M14S-CQB stock prior to shipping it off..... I try to do this with all my custom stocks to ensure fit and function.
Not having the ideal mount for the rifle pictured..... i installed a springfield armory mount and started wasting targets..... On the set up pictured, the rig was actuallly quite comfortable to shoot and the eotech, despite how high up it is sitting and how goofy it looks
worked out pretty sweet.
I have installed several of the UTG tri rails for fellow CGN'ers now and the feedback and comments on this mounting set up are very favorable. For the 100 n change they cost..... they are probably the best solution availlable to canadians for forward mounting of an eotech on the m14
