Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles SWFA 1-4x24 on an AR?

Makes sense. Thanks

I might have to try one on an ARC I’m building. 👍

Dang... y'all sure do seem busy as hell...

Are those tumbleweeds in the parking lot?

Hard to tell at this resolution...

Truth is John... I do wish you well... real and genuine success.

Something went wrong along the way I reckon... booze maybe? Don't know.

I hope ya get your chit together before whatever it is kills you...

Be thankful. This saved you from a dumb idea.

If you want a rail like that, get one from White Oak, mount it on the receiver like you're supposed to and put some forward-offset rings on it to get eye relief.

Personally, I'd check the spacing & height specs on some +2" or +3" cantilever mounts and find one that fits your scope.

Depending on the scope... a PEPR is a pretty good solution IMHO...

Yes, it's plenty bold enough for quick shooting.............in fact, that's it's forte, IMO.

It's not a great scope for 600 yard shooting with a fine reticle & at the ranges & for it's intended use, SFP is more than fine.

Eye relief is adequate, not great............not a really great eyebox, but fine & useable for most normal folks; mine is mounted about even with the rear of the charging handle & works just fine.

Burns, up until that post I gave you the benefit of doubt thinking you couldn't be that big of a douche, well, I was wrong, Aero Precision builds, M4E1 and M5E1 uppers with either the enhanced handguards or R-One/S-One handguard, didn't fit a one.

Honestly, I was warned before I bought it that I would be disappointed, I guess the ARF crowd was right about it and you.

So, before you trash my builds, how about you actually handle one, unlike you, I actually have your [bleep] product in my possession, taking up space in my toolbox. There's hope though, it looks like it would make a great doorstop on the shop.

I use Aero or Warne Cantilever mounts, just thought I'd try to share a Nightforce between a bolt and an AR, dumb idea.

I will put it in the mail, no airsoft here, good to know Aero isn't spec

Edit: If anyone here was seriously considering one of these or actually wanted to see one up close and personal, I'd be happy to send it to you. Just drop me a PM with your address.

I damn sure don't need his money and I have pissed away more on more ridiculous chit with wild ass claims.

LOL.

I have handled many Aero handguards and they are out of spec with the upper spacing.

Put the riser on just the rail and you will see the spacing is right on the riser.

It won't bridge because Aero didn't correctly continue spacing from the upper to the handguards.

If you come here to bash my products don't be suprised when you get your nose rubbed in your pooh.

So now tell the class the truth that the riser fits on either the upper or the handguard but won't bridge because of Aero out of spec spacing.

Is there actually a published spec for rail spacing? Who would be the authority on that spec?

Yes.

Pic rail specs

The issues is dummies like above buy rails that don't continue the slot spacing from the upper.

In other words the slot spacing on the rail by itself is fine but is not in time with the slot spacing of the upper.

Aero does this for some unexplained reason while the vast majority of quality manufacturers follow the Mil Spec and time slot spacing to the upper.

The dummy above never took the time to see that my riser is in spec but instead bitched because his setup was out of spec.

Weaver makes a 20 moa cantilevered riser that seems pretty nice. Only has two fasteners though. May not be as stout as other options. I used one on a 6 arc range toy and like it fine for that purpose. So far it hasn't given me any trouble, anyway.

Where did Darryle the dipschiet go of to?

Is he counting pic rail slots?

This is your idea of getting smashed?

Wow, your definition of smashed needs an update.

You could get a PRI single-throw lever riser and swap out the entire scope/rings/base assembly for the same price as John's POS.
And it's cantilevered too, so you get more flexibility in mounting without that bad idea of spanning the float tube.

Puddin, any links to top tier operators posting on the web about hanging out with you?

There are a whole lotta options for risers, most much cheaper than Johnny MIC'Gutshot's contraption.

Yet the optics riser is in spec and your AR is out of spec but you were to dumb to figure it out.

Good Smash.

In spec riser on in spec upper/handguard.

Are we no longer talking about the whopping 2.3 inches of eye relief at 4X on the SWFA 1-4?
