T1/T2 Mounts

[WS6]

I've used Bobro and Scalarworks. Both were good but the latter is much smaller and lighter so it is definitely my preferred. Neither of them lined up with my G33 though, which has the riser to work with my EXPS-3 on my other AR so lower 1/3 definitely isn't one standard. I knew that was the case with the Bobro but didn't realize it was true for the Scalarworks as well so I was bummed there when I learned it the hard way.

My Bobro and Scalarworks liked up great with the G33.

Without the spacer I assume?

My Bobro micro mount is lower 1/3rd and it lines up perfectly with the G33 w/o spacer like your Geissele 1/3 mount does, I am pretty sure the same is true with Scalarworks lower 1/3rd.
Do you shoot nose to charging handle? I don't (maybe I should) and I have issues with the eye relief of the G33, especially if it is in front of BUIS. I am hoping Aimpoints new military magnifiers are a little better in this regard, the 6x is long enough I don't think it would matter much, and the 3x is said to have about .5" longer eye relief. I wonder how the twist mounts will line up with the lower 1/3rd and 1.93" micro mounts?

You're a fan of the 1.93" mounts, esp. with NVG. I watched the RB1 Knight's video, Falla has a good pitch. In the video he mentioned his forthcoming mount with magnifier riser being 3-3.5" height over bore? His is much taller than the 1.93" Geissele, no? Is the 1.93" HOB or height above top rail?

I don't shoot NTCH, brother. I basically keep my cheek on the SOPMOD stock and I would guess that puts me around an inch or so back from the charging handle.

The 1.93" mounts are the height over rail to the center of the optic, yep.

I used the DD mounts for my T1's and have just purchased a T2 with the Scalarworks lower 1/3 mount. Looking forward to getting it in and running on my Noveske SBR.

Bobro.

I use Scalarworks and Larue and aside from mounting them to the rifle and weight, I can see no difference in performance.

The LT lever will eventually create a "pocket" in your receiver and work itself loose. The mount is also sliding back and fourth as you are shooting.

Everyone here says this, but I have yet to experience any pockets. I also don't see any indication that the mount is sliding back and forth.

Well as LT's FIRST dealer, let me assure you that it happens (eventually).

You need hi-speed video to see it.

It's a much bigger issue on 308 gas guns and SCARs.

We see it on 556 AR's. Ken Hackathorn came into my shop one day and while I was looking over his rifle, I grabbed the Aimpoint. It shifted back and fourth. I asked him if he had messed with it and he said he had not. Over a 1-2 year time table (with a lot of shooting), the mount worked itself loose.

My favorite game to play at carbine classes was to go around and grab LT mounts to see if I could move them. :-)
