The TA31 is more forgiving than I thought. It should work for this project.
Son of Commander Paisley came by this weekend and we fooled around a bit with the standard mounts. With a BUIS rear mount installed, it is still a NTCH-shooting setup, which he could live with but I found annoying. I am going to change that with a AD-B3-C-Ti mount.
Be aware that these so-called "reverse cantilever" mounts (which I don't think have been around very long) come in regular and tall sizes. The tall will accommodate under it a MBUS polymer rear sight, while the regular version will only fit a Magpul Pro rear sight. Just a warning. I am using both in this project, so, for anyone watching, there is a difference.

Good to hear that it will work. I’ve always used the mounts that came with the ACOGs. I have a led acog with the TA51 mount that I could probably shave a few once’s if I changed it. It’s on an A4 upper without irons and mounted back further that keeps my nose off the charging handle. I might have to check out a reverse cantilever mount.

Unless you have a really long, thin face, get the regular mount. The high mount did not work for me with the TA31. Also, take the warning that the regular mount will only accept a Magpul Pro mount under it seriously. It was the only one in my inventory that I could get to fit. The AD high reverse cantilever will accept a Magpul MBUS (plastic) under it, so I expect it will accommodate most rear sights, possibly excepting the GG&G or the Brownells HK-style drum sight.

I have both. I don't care what the specifications say on Trijicon's website. The TA50 absolutely has more eye relief than the TA31. Mrgunsngear addresses this in his video on the TA50.

That said, I've found that eye relief isn't a big deal when using these scopes if you're just consistent with how you hold your head. A good cheek riser goes a long way towards getting you in the right spot up/down, left/right and also helps with how far forward your head goes relative to your shoulder.
