WTK type of Aimpoint mount

[Remo Williams]

Does anyone know what type of aimpoint Mount is used on this rifle? Saw this on AR15.com. Thanks.

It looks like either the GG&G or the LaRue. The LaRue comes in a throw-lever style that looks really nice.

That looks like the standard government issue mount. Check here: http://www.mountsplus.com/miva/merchant.mvc?page=MSP/PROD/AIMPOINT-MOUNTS/AIM-ROR-059

Yes thats the standard Army aimpoint mount. I have the exact same one.

Bought mine from SWFA IIRC.

Deanh,
How do you like it? Thanks.

I have the same mount (also purchased from SWFA). It's an excellent mount.

The one pictured above has the spacer installed for raising the optic when mounting directly to the flat top.

My only complaint is that the knob on the left-hand side sticks out a bit too far compared to sleeker throwlever mounts. It's probably a plus if you're wearing gloves though.

edited to add:

Here's a better pic to judge how far the knob sticks out. For comparison, the Aimpoint QRP is between an ARMS #22M68 and an LMT BUIS.

Even with the spacer, the Aimpoint QRP sits lower than an ARMS mount which means that it will still co-witness, but the irons will appear closer to the optic's center rather than the lower 1/2 or 1/3.
