Canada.
I've not seen the Vltor mount in person but it would need to be pretty thin to work without blocking some of the view. In the first pic I posted in this thread you can see the Fenix light I have mounted to the handguard. I had a piece of YHM FF fore-end rail that I attached to the wood with machine screws. When I get an offset light mount I'll add it to the side rail so it sits higher where it will be easier to activate with my thumb.

I was surprised when I first saw pic's of the Micro & Vltor on the same Ultimak rail.
We have two offset Vltors in the house . They really are thin enough to work with a Micro on an Ultimak and are quite popular in the US for that application. ( ETA: It's possible that the Vltor intrudes a little into the bottom of the Aimpoint FOV , but I would need to mount & dismount one (Again) to confirm or deny . )
Ours usually live on AR middie Carbines mounted on the side of DD Omega rails. Seem to work well with a VFG in that location as well.

Reason: Afterthought.
