Hey, I'm set to buy some equipment for my colt ar15. I'm looking to add the aimpoint t2 micro but I have no idea where to buy the LaRue 1/3 witness mount. Anyone have a source? Thanks!!

Rampart International is the Canadian Distributor. Honestly the ADM mounts are way better IMHO. They don't damage the receiver.

I've been running my comp ML3 for over a year and a half with a larue mount and have zero damage to the receiver.
That being said though, you may be better off with the ADM ones as they tend to be a lot cheaper than larue products with the same level of quality.
 
The 'cam over' design of the Larue rail tensioners is inferior to the 'clamping' style that ADM uses.
Regardless of frequent or infrequent removal or changing of accessories, they do induce undue wear on the rails.
 
People damaged their rails because they adjusted the clamps unnecessarily tight.

I used both Larue and ADM. I must admit I bought ADM because it was hard to find Larue in the old days.

In general, the locking of Larue is better and simpler for QD. ADM is a Pita if there is a need to use the QD feature.
 
I bought a Bobro and found it superior to Larue and ADM. There's no adjusting a nut for ideal tightness, just close the clamp and you're good.

I own examples of all 3.
 
It's a friggin AR, not a museum piece!

Assuming all you own is an AR....
Damage or marring doesn't usually wear on the type III anodizing, but can strip away or mark other types of finishes. Cosmetic? Mostly, but then why pay more for an inferior product (especially since the owner of the company has previously given the finger to our market)?

Larue just copied ARMS engineering and ###ed it up a bit.
If you are in the field and need to switch an optic or other accessory from one firearm to another and need to adjust the pressure from one rail to. The next, the flat tip is easier and more likely to be found easily over a 3/8" wrench. Most times you can adjust it with a finger nail.
 
Optics need to be QD
out in the field not because they need to be put on different weapons, they need to be QD because there is a need to swap between day and night or thermal imaging optics. This means most likely this needs to be done when you are cold, tired and don't feel like fiddling with small little things using fine moto skill. Pressing on a tiny recessed release lever to the opposite direction while yanking the lever is a major PITA.
 
I've never needed to use a quick release mount for a red dot optic. Co-witness means you can see the BUIS through the optic. T1/T2 are small enough to mount NV or thermal or magnifier behind it or leave on your head where they belong.

I use a Geissele for my T2. Properly torqued so no chance of squeezing the rail. 1/2" is nut easy to tighten, hard to strip, and have a 1/2 " wrench on my MUT. https://geissele.com/super-precision-t1-series.html

Arms East should have them.

If the lever is an issue then you probably shouldn't be handling firearms.
 
I'm sure Greentips has experience to back his opinion on the matter... that and it's his forum so hey, he can say whatever he pleases. lol

Until the glass is shattered or otherwise obstructed then you need to remove the reddot to use the irons.
