Mount for Flattop AR

[maritimer]

I've got a Leupold Mark 4 MR/T optic that I want to put on my flattop Stag AR. Just wondering if anyone has a similar setup. I've got high Leupold rings for it. The height of the scope is ok and I can get a decent cheek weld but I can't get it forward enough for my liking. I think I need a one piece mount that has the front ring cantilevered out over the front of the receiver that will move the scope forward.

If anyone has any suggestions that would be great, a pic too would be awesome. I promise to post a pic when I get it set up

They're rare in Canada, but if you can get one, get a Larue mount.

(Ignore the Docter Optic mount on the side, but you get the idea).

We sell the American Defence Manufacturing AD-Recon 1" and 30".

(Remaining stock priced at $204CDN. These are $189US)

I have both Larue and ADM, both great choices. For an overview of your options:

Gotta say, I love the stuff manufactured by American Defence.

Do the AD mounts put the center of the scopes at the same height as the peeps usually are?

On the recon mounts, it's irrelevant - you'll never be co-witnessing through a 10x scope.

For the reflex sight mounts (compm4 etc), you pick. Absolute co-witness, lower-third, or nearly flush (for shotguns and the like).

I know that. But there are different heights nonetheless. Some are very low, and would be better on something like a SIG, and others are very high, and will clear BUIS.

The Larue 1.5 SPR will put the Center line of the scope at 1.5" above the butt stock (same height as the stock irons)
Not sure of the ADM.

Want to make a bet that if it's not completely identical to Larue's that it's pretty damn close?

Really, since when? You really need a better web page. Might have to give you a call very soon.

Thanks for all the responses. ADM AD-Recon mount is on it's way from Armseast.

What is the height of those??
Is it safe to say it is at least 1.5"? (like the Larue) or maybe more?
Would this be good for mounting a big scope for Long range (eg. 56mm obj.)

Wow! You got a response from them?
It must just be me....

Through the miracle of the internet, I have located your answer on ADM's website: http://www.americandefensemanufacturing.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=5&view=description

If you're running a flattop with a rail, you can now do the math and figure out how much clearance that 56mm objective will have, if any.

No, it's me too.

In the last 2 weeks, I've sent a PM, left a voice mail, and sent an e-mail.

Still waiting for a reply on all three.
