[ARCHIVED THREAD] - All ACOG flat top mounts [pics]

Posted: 9/14/2005 7:20:29 PM EDT

Few weeks ago I picked up one of the new ARMS #19LD mounts. It was noticably lower than my older ARMS #19s and 1st gen LaRue ACOG mount. I did not have one of the newer LaRue ACOG mounts that are lower than the old one, and I neglected to put pics of the Trijicon TA51 mount. Kisara sent me a new LaRue ACOG mount to compare (thanks, its back to you in the mail tomorrow!). And I now have pics of the TA51 mount.

Here's the new #19LD next to the new LaRue. I dont have a micrometer or anything, but they look dang close to being equal height. Each are the lowest of all the mounts.

Heres the #19LD next to the TA51 ACOG mount. TA51 sits just "slightly" higher than the new LaRue and new ARMS.

#19LD next to the older #19S, which is noticably higher.

#19LD next to the older LaRue, which is also noticably higher.

the arms mounts looks like it has less support or wall at the base of the acog.

and in the first pic it looks like the larue is just a hair shorter similar to the ta51/19ld picture.
a price list would be a great addition to this thread

great comparison though and great pics

are all those rifles on the wall for sale or are they personal rifles, see some familar ones up there but the "price tag" is throwing it off.

I noticed that too; The Larue looks like it would be structurally more stable with all that meat surrounding the bottom of the Acog's channel. Cleaner, smoother, and less protruding.

Thanks for the review and photos NAG!

I'll third the motion... the Larue mount has more beef to it. When I saw it I figured it wouldnt be as low as the #19LD because of that. But side by side, you can see it is just as low with more support.

Do you like the NEW #19LD? Do you like it that Low or higher?

I am personally very flexible when it comes to things like that. So long as it isnt anything exxagerated, I can work with what's in front of me. However, considering I have a TA31 on top of a SIR, it sits higher than normal. So Im glad to have it a little lower with the #19LD.

i had the same problem when i had my acog ontop of the sir using the 19s, it was too high and it looks like the ld would be the answer

Is the LaRue in those pics still the same 4XDOS model (just the new ones are lower)? Or does it have a different model #?

Still the same name. If you're buying used, make sure you know what you're getting.

Great post and pics Neil. You are the Yoda of ACOGs and Donuts! Thanks for your help on my donut question. I was wondering if you ever looked at the GGG single lever ACOG mount. It seems a lot more stout (mmm Guinness anyone) than the ARMS 19's.

Only saw it briefly at the shot show. If their accu-cam on the ACOG mount is the same as the one on their EoTech, I dont think I will try one.

LT switched the height on their Standard ACOG mount at least a month ago.

Sorry, I missed that one!!! First response too. The rifles on the back wall are not for sale. They belong to me and new-argirl. BATF tells us they need to be marked "not for sale" when they do their bi-annual inspection. So they are all marked "DEMO". Here's a price list of all the mounts. All these prices are taken directly from the company web sites, so you may find them for less.

ARMS #19LD - $135
LaRue 4xDOS - $125
ARMS #19S - $109
Trijicon TA51 - $72

Question: How far can the arms# 19LD mount be set,?? I like mine further back on my reciever rail and wanted to see how far back it will let you mount it

Posted: 9/18/2005 9:04:45 AM EDT

[#15]

Well, that kind of depends on if or what back up sight you use. The mount that allows the scope to be mounted furthest back is the #19s. As you can see from the pic, it hangs back some what. This will allow you to mount it the furthest back without a BUIS, or, if you happen to use a #40, #40A2, #40L or Knights 300M BUIS. All the other mounts I am familiar wil are pretty equal in how far back they mount.

I will add, however, that if you feel you need to mount the scope further back, you should probably change your stance to get your eye closer to the scope as opposed to the scope closer to your eye. The only time I have seen people wanting the scope mounted further back is when their stock is too long, or, when they are leaning their head back on the stock instead of forward on the stock. YMMV...

Guess I should rephrase my question. I like my current TA51 mount back to where you can count 4 positions in the reciver rail in front of it. I wanted to know if the 19LD is spaced the same way, meaning how it fits into the joints, does it have a wider base? But I guess that you do bring up another good point. Is it positioned the same on the top as well. Basically what I am looking for is a mount that is closest to the TA51, but with the throw levers. thanks

Without having any of these mounts in front of me now, and without being able to actually check it on a gun, I would say the new LaRue 4xDOS or the new ARMS #19LD will allow you to mount in the same exact position as the TA51 mount you are using now. However, each of those mounts, as pictured above, are ever so slightly lower than the TA51. Not enough to have the height make a difference in my opinion.

Thank you very much new-arguy, I'll probally end up ordering the arms #19LD.

This is some good info but I would like to see the GG&G in the mix. I really like the GG&G but I’m not sure what one I like more.

Hi Mike,
I mounted my T11C with the GGG mount to my AR10 that I bought from you. Very solid mount. I like the one lever. My big sausage fingers fit in there perfect. Also, there is another thread on here somewhere about the LaRue mount leaving marks on the rail.
I will take some measurements and a pic and post it in this tread so people can compare to the other mounsts posted.

great thread

The Accucam is a nice design as well.

i dont like how the gg&g throwlever faces towards the front

imo it looks snag prone

If you have a RAS-II and an ARMS #40, will the ARMS #19S and #19D fit in the space that is left? Or will only the standard TA51 mount work? (As that is the only picture of an ACOG with a RAS-II that I have seen.)
