    Thoughts on RMR on carbine

    Hey guys, looking for anyone who has personal experience with an RMR. I can get a pretty big discount on one from trijicon. I was looking to use this as a primary sight on my carbine.
    So, what mounts would work well with this set up? Would this set up even be worth it? I know the sight is pretty small. Any help/personal experience would be awesome. Also feel free to post any pics of your carbine with an RMR. I'd love to see how it looks.

    Give the site a search. Pat McNamara from TMACs runs one. During a TAPs class he mentioned the dot was crisper.

    I recall a thread or two on here about the RMR on a carbine.
    Realization/Goal for me, average civilian shooter: Spend at least 5 hours dry firing, drills, shooting, getting proper live instruction for every 1 hour spent surfing forums about equipment set up.

    Stickman has been posting a lot of carbines with an RMR lately.

    Pat McNamara turned me onto using an RMR as a primary carbine optic.


    While I have been well served by Aimpoints for many years, since my accident in 2009, the Aimpoint dots now appear as misshapen blobs to my damaged vision, especially when using a 4x magnifier. In contrast the 3.5 MOA RMR06 dot is crisp. At 100 yds, it perfectly fits into the center of an SR1 target. The RMR06 mated to an RM34 mount makes for a very low profile optic. Hopefully LaRue will eventually get around to making an RMR mount for the AR15.

    Doc, for some reason, that's not what I expected your AR to look like.

    I guess I expected a sopmod stock, centurion rail, colt (which is true), 16" barrel (again got that right!), an ir laser of some sort, a bcm gunfighter ch, and a different pistol grip.

    I don't know why I expected the above...


    On the picture of Stickman's rmr rifle, note that he's running the vltor casv rail that adds height to the receiver area. That, combined with the absolute cowitness adm rmr mount probably gives something like lower 1/4 cowitness, if not even lower.

    It's sad there isn't a quick disconnect lower 1/3 rmr mount on the market to my knowledge. Preferably one from adm or larue that maintains zero on removal.

    Many questions about the RMR.

    1) Does it use a common battery?

    2) Is there a on/off switch or does it have"Sleep" mode?

    3) How long is the Battery life?

    4) Is there some type of "cover" for the lens when not in use?

    5) Do you lose the "DOT" if you not completely behind the gun?
    The Aimpoints, because they are a tube pretty much make you find the dot. I worked with a C More on a handgun some years back and I kept losing the dot.

    Thanks for helping the confused.

    Good video on rmr/ar15. Not my video.

    I don't see a problem with it.

    Although I see it better suited on a Kriss.

    I dont know how comparable they are side by side, but a friend has a Leupold deltapoint. I always have the hardest time finding the dot.
