    Why did you get rid of the ADM mounts?

    Both mounts work as advertised, but the ADM has a little spring that can get lost if you are not careful when reversing directions with the lever if you are worried about that. I wouldn't feel bad with either.

    Beyond that everything else is a crap shoot.

    There is more to mounts than locking mechanisms - footprint, profile, height options, ease of adjustment without tools, reversibility etc.

    I understand theoretical concerns with LaRue clamp, but I've not had practical problems other than finish removal. LaRue mount for M4s has slimmest profile giving less interference with SCAR charging handle on my 16s, and hence is my choice for that use. On the other hand, LaRue SPR mount is really a poor choice in that regard, and I use Bobro with Nightforce with my 17s (Bobro could also work for M4s but LaRue was there first). ADM Eotech riser is the lowest height riser and it works the best with Centurion sights on my BCM, so I use it. I am not huge fan of adjustment mechanism with ADM, but this could be subjective.
    Anyway, I tried to show above that reasons other than clamp design may and should play a role here.
