Love my Spuhr rings and was very excited to mount them on my new AE but was disappointed to find that it's a no go. The factory AI rail isn't true mil spec and the filled gaps in the rail won't allow the finest rings on the planet to mate. The answer is always more money.
Spuhr and AI

I have the separate rings from Spuhr. No worky. "More money" means I need to buy the Spuhr unitized mount that is meant for AI. $400+ more clams.
Keep your rings and buy a new rail. Read the thread linked below.

Try this before spending anymore money.... I asked the question about using a Spuhr mount on a AE while at Mile High last week. They pointed out that the AI rail can be flipped around and remounted the other way giving you just the right adjustment to allow proper eye relief.
Might be worth a try since it won't cost you anything other than 15 minutes of your time...

Yep... Its a 0 moa rail... you can flip it around backwards and also there are extra holes in the receiver to move the rail up more if needed. Tighten to 20 inch pounds. The 1.125 Badgers were the right height worked just fine for me for eye relief.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm using the Spuhr stand alone rings and they require 3 slots in a row to accommodate 2 screws and a recoil lug each. I'm going to remove the recoil lug between the screws on the rings as the AE base has locations at either end that has 2 slots with a solid spot between. It will work perfectly. I'll have 2 screws per ring remaining as recoil abutments.
Have had the Spuhrs for a while. They're superior. They've already been slightly modified to work with an out of spec SSG rail.
