Scope location in M1D mount

[Bob Seijas]

Then move the scope forward or cut the rubber.

Do you have your scope moved forward where it doesn't interfere with the rear sight or did you cut the eye piece? Do you have a photo that you could share? Seems like the scope would have to be moved too far forward for comfortable eye relief to eliminate the interference issue.

Well, most of the time you'd be employing the optic...your #2 would take the iron sight shots with his rifle.

Not that type of interference. It would physically have to occupy the same space.

You have it a smidge too far back then.

The problem is that it would take more than a 'smidge' to create enough clearance for the rubber. If I moved it far enough forward for clearance, the eye relief won't be good - at least for me. The scope and mount came pre-assembled from the DCM and the eye relief seems perfect so I just left it alone. I'd like to see what it looks like with the rubber eye piece rotated to the side by I have not been able to find any examples of this in any of my books or online.

Anyone have any photos to share with your rubber eyepiece mounted with the shade to the left?
