I understand you want a scope mounted on the upper receiver only unless the upper receiver is monolithic. That makes perfect sense with scope rings. To get the top rail from the upper receiver and rail to line up perfectly I typically mount a 1 piece scope mount like the ADM and then tighten everything down. However.. if one were using an overbuilt Vltor MUR upper and a Geissele MK4 rail with anti rotation tabs AND an ADM Delta mount.. which will be used with a LPVO… would that be acceptable? I’m struggling to find a reason why it would lead to irregularities. And it sure would be nice to save $300 and use a mount I have.
Specific question on 1 piece scope mount location
- Thread starter thedude824
- Start date
I actually have a number of rifles that violate the protocol of not crossing the upper/ hand guard line. They all do well, so far. I have used Spuhr and now ZCO one piece mounts. These are not high volume per trip rifles but they get used frequently. To date I have not seen an issue. Is this evidence, no, am I temping fate, most likely.
All the beefiest uppers and HG's still show some deflection in POI when loaded. Is that really what you want your scope interfacing with?
Will it matter with an LPVO?
Will it matter if you load the HG the same every time?
Probably not, but why introduce a potential variable, however tiny, if you can help it.
Also, there are plenty of good cantilever mounts that don't cost $300.
