Title: Can anyone ID this AR throw lever scope mount?
Post by: Biggerhammer on December 04, 2013, 10:36:17 PM: I've been trying to ID the manufacturer from just this photo. It's not a Larue or a Knights. I would like to put one on the Grendel.

Post by: WoodlandShooter on December 05, 2013, 09:02:01 AM: hmmm looks like a LaRue..but like you said, it's not.

it does look cool, but from a reliability standpoint and being able to hold zero on a working weapon, I would not trust it for a second...reminds me of a diving board...boing boing...one good smack, and you lost your zero.

looks more tacti-cool than usefull.

Get a solid one piece mount that bridges the upper and the forward rail.

Post by: Heredoggydoggy on December 05, 2013, 09:41:30 AM: Looks cool, but like a previous poster said, it's too fragile. I use Rock River one piece mounts on my AR builds. Being somewhat short of stature, a standard mount works for me. They also make a Cantilever mount in 1" or 30mm. My scopes got banged against rocks several times, and never lost zero.

Agree! Look kinda UTG

Post by: Biggerhammer on December 05, 2013, 10:00:33 AM: I don't think it's UTG, I looked. I can't see I custom builder assembling a AR like that and frosting it with crap.

Post by: WoodlandShooter on December 05, 2013, 10:09:40 AM: it depends on what the "market" wants for frosting.

"Tacti-cool" sells better than "usefull"!!!

True--and the sad thing is, sometimes the "junk" costs more than the good stuff!

No, it doesn't have the silver center pin/ hole? on the bottom of the ring. Hmmmmmmm.

Subtract the "Bingo" and back to zero. :tup:

Gee, how'd that happen? Could be worse, it could have been UTG'ish. Frosting a piece of crap Vortex. Haha. :o

You were right SnowPack, I was throw off by the light reflection and thought there was a 3rd pin or screw in the ring base.

The snowpack link shows a different mount. Same manufacturer, but definitely a different mount.

Post by: Biggerhammer on December 05, 2013, 08:59:31 PM: Your right Jay, same manufacturer. Different mount, there is no 3rd hole at the bottom of the rings and to think I almost gave a "Bingo" back... NOT... :tup:

I wonder if the center hole on the bottom is for an alignment pin?
