NEA handguard & buttstock question ref cowitness

[Claven2]

If I use BUIS on my stock adaptor rail and gas block rail and mount an Aimpoint Comp C3 on my NEA handguard rail, Would I need a standard or tall sight, given the in-line stock to achieve a good cheek weld and still keep BUIS cowitness?

I'm trying to decide between an AMD 68 mount or a Larue mount. Both come in standard and tall.

I know standard will give bang-on co-witness and tall will give a lower 1/3 cowitness.

Wht I wnt to know is how these setups actually feel with the NEA in-line stock adaptor. Is the standard mount too low?

Regular BUIS work just fine wrt to cheek weld on that setup. A regular height Aimpoint mount has the same plane.

I like a bottom 1/3 co-witness so my head is up higher and the irons are blocking less of the sight picture when they're up.

Thanks Steve. Answers it perfectly.

I want to keep the Aimpoint as low as I can without messing up cheek weld. I'm not too worried about he BUIS since they will remain closed unless I get a dead battery or something in the middle of a shoot

I have an AMD clone mount with spacers I can experiment with for now, then I'll mount my Aimpoint in something nicer when iget it figured out

This is what I have been looking for but not Airsoft junk;

You think NEA or some one else could make something like this?

 

[Claven2]

Have you seen one in person yet? It might not be that bad, even if it is airsoft. Obviously, you'd want to replace those phillips heads with allens though.

I can see the attraction, you'd get BUIS and still be able to use the NEA cantilever mount.

Actually, it kind of reminds me of the USGI Matech BUIS - sorta.
