Just curious as to how far forward the masses are mounting their Aimpoints and why? Please include which model Aimpoint, mount model, general rifle set-up.

I ran my ML3 in a LT129 flush with the front end up the upper on a middy with drop-in two piece quad rails for about 4 years. It has done very well like this for me. I pick up the dot faster than I can drive the rest of the gun this way. I now have different handguards(Apex 12.5") which mount to a stock/bare bbl nut, but it has no anti-rotation device. Maybe it would never be an issue, but I'm thinking about kicking the mount forward enough to engage the first lug to the HG top rail to lock it all up. It seems to me that it will be sturdy enough to hold(zero) considering the mount is still engaging 3/4 of rail that it had a grip on before.

So, should the LT129 be GTG hanging slightly off the front of the upper?

Thank You
