For my next rifle i'm planning on utilizing the Vltor CASV-M handguard. I think ultimately i'll probably try a couple different optics on this to figure out which one i'd like most, but I know what I'd really like to try is a miniaturized red dot on top of that rail. What I can't figure out is what height mount is going to work to produce either an absolute co-witness, or a lower 1/3 co-witness.
To get specific about the optic, i'd like to try either the Trijicon RMR with dual illumination, or a pride fowler in a Larue low mount.

Does anyone have any pictures of mini red dots mounted up on Vltor CASV handguards?

Thanks in advance

There is one example of an Insight MRDS on a CASV-M by MilitaryMorons (http://militarymorons.com/weapons/ar.optics2.html#mrds).

that's a good find. I wish he had taken a picture looking through the irons on the CASV setup.

that's a good fine. I wish he had taken a picture looking through the irons on the CASV setup.
there wasn't any point taking a pic as they didn't co-witness (i mentioned it in the writeup right above that pic). the insight mount was too high to see the irons through the MRDS.

a burris fastfire will co-witness with the CASV, however it's more like an 'upper third' co-witness, with the iron being very high - near the top of the window.

thanks very much for the reply MM. Apparently reading comprehension owns me.
If i end up getting an RMR on a CASV i'll be sure to post some pictures of how it worked out.

Saw this pic on another thread. Looks like the type of mount i'd prefer to run, just not sure how the height of this compares to that of other mounts. Specifically ADM's Micro mount for the CASV.

From this thread

I'll send an email to ask about height.

Sounds like the ADM mount for the RMR, on top of a Vltor CASV or ARMS SIR handgaurd should provide lower 1/3 co-witness.
