I am assuming you mean the thumb screw? If so I do not feel it is necessary. I may be wrong but I still have not figured out the need for the quick removal trend these days. I can see it for an ACOG where you have the scope sitting on top of the rear BUIS and the front sight/post cannot be seen under magnification, but when using an EOTECH or Aimpoint, once it is mounted and the BUIS can be used, leave it alone. 77Bronc |
If it's -20 degrees outside and you go into a warm building you'll have a majorly fogged up EOTECH. Having the ability to disconnect and then stow or throw the EOTECH is a necessity. I seriously considered the YHM screw, and I'm impressed with my YHM riser and BUIS, but for this job I chose a GG&G Accucam. |
You should invest in the LaRue mount. Not cheap but it will retun to zero when re-mounted. The GG&G mount will not return to the exact same zero. I have both and prefer the LaRue. Just my .02. Mike |
The LaRue mount adds about .25 inch. It places the BUIS in the lower 1/3 of the EoTech view. I like it very much. My second rifle has the EoTech w/ GG&G mount on the YHM .25 inch riser. The quality of the LaRus is top notch. Mike |
What did you do to that poor little screw? Look at tthe threads on the broken section. Is that thread deformation from over-torquing or is it from removal? |
Well an $80 Accucam and $30 riser gets us within $10 of the Larue mount. I considered the Larue mount, but I didn't care for the rail section at the very rear and I wondered if it would fit on the flat-top along with a back-up iron sight. It appears that it probably would though. I also don't care for their name being so conspicuous on the mount, but that's a very minor deal some spray paint would take care of. The GG&G accucam is advertised as being accurate to within 1/2 m.o.a. after detaching, reattacting. |
I had to use needle nose pliers to remove the screw from the EoTech Mike |
