Hello,
I am writing concerning a question about the "optimal" mounting of an RDS, Magnifier and back-up iron sight.
background info:
Option A (as shown in picture 2):
Option B (see picture 3):
I hope the explanation is easy to understand, despite the roughly chosen terms (I am not a native speaker).
Questions which I´ve been asking myself:
I am writing concerning a question about the "optimal" mounting of an RDS, Magnifier and back-up iron sight.
background info:
- The RDS has 3 "tabs", the 2 outer "tabs" are fixed. The middle "tab" is connected with a screw and the usual "clamp" (as shown in picture 1).
- I have 2 options with this setup, each with disadvantages:
Option A (as shown in picture 2):
- The front part of the "clamp" for fixing the RDS touches the front hand guard
- The front "tab" of the RDS touches the first "tab" of the Picatinny rail of the hand guard
Option B (see picture 3):
- The RDS contacts the Magnifier
- The "clamp" touches the front hand guard only slightly
- The "tabs" only slightly touch the Picatinny rail of the upper
I hope the explanation is easy to understand, despite the roughly chosen terms (I am not a native speaker).
Questions which I´ve been asking myself:
- Are zero shifts or damage/greater wear and tear to be expected here?
- Would you recommend one of the mounting options or do I have to get other components (Eotech instead of the existing sig-optics etc.) so that it fits
- Should I just move magnifier and RDS to the back and remove the back-up sights?
