I know its purpose is to have the optic sit further back on the rail, but this requires me to remove my rear site. Can the flip site still be functional in front of the acog?

Re: Larue Acog RCO Mount
Are you saying this could be use because it has a larger MOA than the factory flips??

Re: Larue Acog RCO Mount
Buy a quick release mount and leave the BUIS where it sits. Scope turns to shit pull the scope and use the BUIS. Thats why they call flip of sights Back Up Iron Sights, they are for back up when the scope fails to work. Acogs will not have many problems so you should be fine unless it takes a bullet then rip it off and use the flip up.

Re: Larue Acog RCO Mount
I have an ACOG TA01 with ARMS 40L flip-up rear sight and standard front post. I really like this setup... scope pops off in about two seconds, but is otherwise mounted very securely. The ARMS 40L's hardware is captive on little cables so it's "impossible" to lose a screw should it work loose.
BTW I'm using a GG&G quick-release mount.

I understand that thats how it works. My question is with that mount your really not suppost to have the rear irons on since the purpose of the mount it to sit further back for proper eye relief. I'm going to try both mounts the other being the ( LT-100 I believe) and just see which ever works best for me. I will report when it all comes in.

I am not sure what rear flip you have so I can't say. Some of my rear flips are too big for some optics. The ARMS 40-L seems to fit under everything, and definitely does not get in the way of an ACOG.
Also, get a Larue mount.

Re: Larue Acog RCO Mount
I have never had issues with my ACOGS and eye relief.
Trial and error for the newbie! Hope it works out ok.
