I just watched a vid of Magpul's Steve Fisher where he explains his SCAR setup. At one point he says that he uses an Larue LT660-HK mount for his Aimpoint Micro. Will this combo provide a lower 3rd co-witness?
Also, what kind of co-witness does a EOTech w/o mount (like the XPS) provide on the SCAR?

The EOTech 553 FDE on my 17 is an absolute co-witness with the irons when flipped up. I assume the xps is a similar height.

Sorry i missed this one, no it will not i choose the hk mount because it brings me back to a better bore offset more like my m4,

I have since after running my charging handle on both sides of the gun ran it back to the left side of the receiver

Thanks for chiming in...you only missed it by 2 hours.:)
Does the mount give you co-witness when the sights are flipped up?
