So Im working on the new upper and Im going through some parts laying around and I remember that I have a Larue M107 .50 BMG scope mount and Im thinking about using it to hang my 5.5 x 22 x 56 Nightforce on the rig.
The only problem is that the mounting base goes across both the uppers rail and the front rail. Now being that its a Daniel Defense continuous rail, is that a problem? Isnt that what the continuous rail is for? I know, an SPR mount would be more betterer but I already have this one. Any problems anyone can think of mounting a scope across the two pieces?

Would not be my first choice to bridge the two rails like that.

As long as it is lined up. I thought that was the purpose of those rails. |

I have a rail that bridges the receiver and the HG on my .22LR. The optic is Chinese and I have over 1,000 rounds down range with no issues. Other than the obvious (.22LR and rail as opposed to direct mount), how is this different from the OP's set-up? http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c342/Candidus/Firearms/Spikes%20Tactical/Spikes_ST-22_3.jpg I think you answered your question already. |
