    how come the larue base doesnt cowitness the T1 with the FSB?

    Because most LaRue customers want the iron sights in the bottom of the optics field of view. Myself included. It clears up the sight picture.

    Which is better Co-witness or lower 1/3rd?

    In regards to dot sights, eotechs, acogs...which is better? Do you want your dot sight to cowitness with the front BUIS or do you want the rear and front BUIS to be in the lower 1/3rd of the sight picture?

    There is no "better".

    Lower 1/3 or so-called "SOCOM" co-witness gives a bit better field of view, some might say is less "cluttered."

    But many run absolute co-witness just fine, and some prefer it because it shoulders the same/uses same cheekweld as irons.

    This is one of those preference areas.

    I don't mind a Co-witness when I have a flip up rear BUIS in the down position. When I use a LaRue BUIS, Aimpoint, Fixed FSB, I prefer the SOCOM (Lower 1/3)- for me I can pick up my dot/target faster with less clutter.

    I prefer lower 1/3 - easy to transition to irons, yet less clutter when using optics. As with everything, you'll be best with what you train with.

    I use this: (Larue LT-129 Cantilever mount)

    It allows for a 1/3 co-witness. Good luck!!
