twowheelhooligan Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 So, I have the RMR on an American Defense Mount. The rail is Mesa Tactical w/ saddle. It fits LOVELY, no marring of the AD Mount or the rail! So, yeah, NO possibility of co-witness as I asked earlier in the week, but I'll give this a whirl. Just got stuff today, so hopefully hit range Monday(too busy this weekend!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheelhooligan Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Close up to see rear sight/red-dot perspective. (i.e. NO co-witness) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheelhooligan Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 I know some of these are fuzzy, but wanted ya'll to see the difference of red-dot vs iron sights. You can still see the two white rear sight dots. I can't attest to how much you've had to drink prior to viewing though. hehehehe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheelhooligan Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 I liked it so much I also put it on my Lefty M4!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggiePhil Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Looks awesome! Now I'm not sure if it puts it low enough for iron cowitness, but I believe the Trijicon RM33 mount puts the optic in the lowest possible position and just might work. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/637822-REG/Trijicon_RM33_RMR_Low_Mount_for.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheelhooligan Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 The mount may allow co-witness, but the RMR itself will get in the way. I just had to look at A.D. since I wanted a quick mount. I like that they're a local company as well. I never thought, in a million years I'd EVER run an optic on a shotty. I'm just having so damn much fun accesorizing my M4, it's gotten to be an ailment! NEXT - the M14 underbarrel attachment! Wouldn't that be a stitch!

Hookster Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Hey 2WH, That looks sweet. I was thinking of getting the powered version. I'll be looking forward to your review of the fiber/tritium model in bright daylight conditions as well as your post-range trip thoughts. BTW...I love the AD locking system, I have it on a TangoDown VFG, rock solid! Later, Hookster Edited October 8, 2010 by Hookster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaning toward the FO/Tritium so interested in your review too. What size dot did you get? Leaning toward the 13 MOA reticle for a pistol and probably the best on a shotgun too. If any of you are thinking about the battery model, you might wish to hold-off.

Flascot007 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I have the same set up with a 9 MOA unit. It works perfect. I have mine on my Sidearmor rail and set a little forward, but it will work anywhere on the rails. Keeps it light since I have the sidearmor, need to not add anymore weight.

BigHat Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I use a Burris FFII on my M4 but after mounting the FO RMR on an FN FNP 45 Tactical I may upgrade. It's a REALLY nice optic. The battery powered units have smaller MOA dots which are probably better for an M4, especially for slug shots at range, but checkout both options.
