T1 mount question?

[bsmith_shoot]

I will soon be the owner of a new 2moa T1, and was wondering what benifit I would get by switching out the supplied factory mount for something like a LaRue or ADM? I want lower 1/3rd, and return to zero when taken off, so is the supplied mount up to par? Does it have a quality QD system? Please let me know something.
Thanks,
Brandon

Factory mount isn't high enough for lower 1/3 on a AR. People use te factory mount for Ak, shotgun, or pistols. Adm, Larue are GTG for quick detach. Daniel Defense & KAC are both options for Traditional screws. A lot of people aren't worrying about being able to QD, given the durability of the T1.

I need QD to be able to swap out the T1 with my 1-4X optic. I was under the impression that they had a lower 1/3 mount with QD?

I haven't used the stock mount nor have I used any Larue but I have and do use ADM mounts and I really like em.

I just bought an Aimpoint T-1 that came with a LRP quick detach base that does provide the lower 1/3 co-witness. Have not found much info about it, but it is my understanding it is a factory mount (came pre-assembled). Anyone have experience with the LRP mount?

I started with a DD lower 1/3 witness mount but switched to a LaRue 660 (1/3 also) when I assembled another upper. Just wanted to be able to swap back and forth, the LaRue locks up solid and is EZ on off. For the weight comparison junkies among us, the DD is 1.45oz, the 660 is 2.75oz. The difference is well worth it IMHO.

I have a T-1 with the newer lower 1/3 QD mount. I do NOT like it. It doesn't hold tight to the rail and it doesn't adjust down enough to lock onto the rail without making it next to impossible to release the lever. The ONLY positive about the mount is that it is super lightweight. my recommendation is to save the extra money and get an ADM or LaRue. They can be found on the EE, that's where I got mine.

Ok, sounds like I gotta get a mount. Thanks guys.

Just for my own clarity sake(I also have a t-1 w/ LRP mount en route, my dealer had a screaming deal on the pair) Is is the LRP mount that you were having issue with?
