SKYKING44 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I am planning on replacing the OEM top rail, to mount my LarRue short mount with an Aim Point T1, and have three options. Side Armour Mod 2 long rail version. Side Armour new Mod 2 short rail version. Kips's top rail should be here very shortly. Would appreciate input on how far forward, from the rear sight, the T1 needs to be placed to get a correct sight picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalope33B Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I still have the factory rail on my M4. I did purchase a Eotech XPS, and after 10min I put it on ebay. Why? Well, it was almost impossible to get a proper cheek weld with a optic. I know that the Aim Point will sit alot higher than the Eotech. So it may be an issue for you, or not. But I am curious to know, so keep us updated. You may want to look at Trijicons RMR, they sit alot lower, and may work. I think Im going to get tritium night sites and keep it at that.

AggiePhil Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Are you asking about what eye relief you need? With the T-1, it doesn't matter how far it is from your eye. Just put it wherever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Fab Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I just ordered the Side Armor Mod 2 short rail with the 6 shell holder. I have a Leupold Prismatic on a Larue mount and was tired of waiting for the the CC rail. Pics and thoughts when I get it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
