new eotech .... which riser BCM flat top

[jachrist]

Hey all.

So I just picked up a NIB eotech 552 for $225 off craiglist. Got it home and LOVE it. Anyway it is going on a BCM middy flat top. I don't have a rear sight yet (thinking a DD fixed rear due to money, unless I can unload this damn glock laser).
I want to co witness in the lower 1/3 of the eotech.

Which riser do I need?

And yes. I am sure it's 100 % real. I even called eotech with the serial and markings.

A LaRue QD mount will give you lower 1/3 co witness, but it's sorta' pricey. I went that way for my Aimpoint & EOTech, because I switch them back & forth between 2 AR's.

I like the LaRue, but is there anything cheaper? I have been looking at the YHM raiser, but does anyone have experience with it???

I have the yankee hill riser , works well and co-witness is good with it. (also running a 552 )http://www.ar15.com/forums/forum.html?b=2&f=142 check out brightflashlights for good deals on yhm buis.. almost forgot they handle the risers too you have to call him very nice guy to deal with.

Thanks for the link

He does have a couple on there though... which one are you using that allows lower 1/3 co witness?

Maybe a better way to ask is how far (1/2" vs. .30" vs. ?) should it be raised to accomplish this co witness style?

Don't remember exactly i bought it two or three years ago. If you call kevin at brightflaslights he will steer you in the right direction. I think he's open til 8pm.

The Larue, ADM, and YHM are all between .25" and .30" in height. All give you the "lower third" co-witness. .5" won't work.

The YHM should be fine, but you have no QD capability. For a range gun, I'd go for the YHM without hesitation. For a defensive carbine, I'd spend the few extra bucks.

FYI, G&R has the Lt-110 for less than $86, currently.

At that price, I think it's the way to go.
