I use the thumbscrew so I can get a cowitness. I like knowing that everything is lined up.

I always mounted right on the receiver. It works for me and keeps me from having to spend extra money.

Mine are directly mounted to the upper. I think it's a matter of personal preference and unlike a post elsewhere, I appreciate everyone sharing their opinion without getting their undies a bundle over differing views.

You guys use Locktite on the Eotech?

Larue mount, as some others I don't like to have the dot on my front sight post.
A little of blue Loctite on the threads of the Eothech.

+1 I prefer the lower 1/3 co-witness. For me personally, I find it very fast with my EOTech. I've tried the absolute co-witness and it's not for me. My LT-110 is solid on my ArmaLite M15 upper without LocTite. Haven't needed LocTite on my EOTech either.Originally Posted by C4IGrant

I bought my first AR-15A2 in 1990, but I'm kinda new to the sight game. If you mount an Eotech directly to the flat top (like my Colt 6920) , does the front sight get in the way (of your sight picture)?

I use blue Loctite on my EOTech.

Yes, it does. However, that's not to say it becomes overly distracting. It's certainly possible to use one mounted directly to the fail with a fixed FSB. It's there, but after a while, and due to your eyes both being open and focusing on the target, the FSB isn't that noticable anymore. If you were going to run a fixed front site forever though, I'd certainly recommend a LaRue mount for it.
