What model is most often preferred? the 501 that is 1/3 co-witness W/ Cantilever vs 505 low mount hat is absolute co-witness? Thanks for the info!

It is a matter of personal preference mostly. An absolute co-witness should "Dead Center" the optics Red/Green Dot Reticle in the center of the optic, and align with with your BUIS (Back.Up.Iron.Sights) in the middle of your tube . With a lower one-thirds Co-witness, your Iron sights will appear through your Red Dot Reticles tube, in the lower one-thirds quadrant of your Red Dot Tube. Depending on the height of your picatinny Rail setup, you can Add/Remove a 1/3rds Riser mount, to adjust your red dot sight so that it aligns properly with your Irons. Which ever one you go with, try it out first and see how everything lines up together. If it isn't quite right, try the 1/3rds Riser mount. I know that TruGlo makes one.

I have several of these Rapid Dominance hats and none of them have the snaps you're talking about. Check out the Dorfman Pacific hats if you want snaps. The brims on both of these hats seem a little narrow for snapping up against the crown, but that's probably just a matter of preference. I hope you find at least one that suits you as these are all pretty good head gear.

I am actually not sure, about a year ago I bought a Comp M3 w/Larue LT129 Mount which is a true 1/3 co witness. After buying the comp M4s w/QRP2 mount I am much happier, as the optic sits a little bit lower. I have BUIS and keep them folded down most of the time anyway. However, when the BUIS are flipped up and the M4s is sighted the red dot sits on top of the FSP. I have since sold my Comp M3 and the Larue Mount. Much happier with this setup and by the way, this is the current military issue from Aimpoint. I love mine...

Yes it will. It's fully adjustable. I mounted it on my 5020 without issue and the 5010 has the same bracket as my 5020. But be careful, the screws they include for mounting to the projector are cheap. I was trying to ensure a snug screw, and the tip snapped right off. Luckily I had enough of a head on it exposed that needle nose pliers could remove it. I'd recommend you stop at your local hardware shop and pick up replacement screws for mounting to the projector. I went with stainless steel for $1.50 and I don't feel like I have to worry about their screws breaking and my projector falling at some point. Yes it will. It's fully adjustable.

I don't know of any sight that will co-witness through this mount. It just sits too high on the weapon. Instead, I put a DMP5 red dot sight on my MP5 22. It self mounts to the gun, is reostaticly controlled and co-witnesses perfectly. Price is reasonable also. Hope this helps.

No, you can use the mounts supplied to use a co-witness set up. The one drawl back is the sight is small and may limit your vision through the optic to see your sights. Either way you can still use the irons through thr optic.

Hey Victor, I'd have to say the one I ended up with was the standard. I honestly didn't pay attention to the fact that it was offered in different sizes. I know that doesn't help much. Best I can tell you is that I've got a pretty big dome. I wear a 7-3/8" fitted cap. The Hardhat doesn't make my head look too large and fits/looks like every other hard hat I've ever had.

Go with the ISO-L8R155. I got them for my LS50 and am happy that I went with these and not the larger stands (L8R200). As mentioned by others, IsoAcoustics has a a tool on their website that produces the recommended stands (for the LS50 they recommend the new higher-end Aperta and the ISO-L8R155).I find the configuration stable enough for my purposes. I use the tilt mechanism together with the short legs. How stable the configuration would be with the long legs I don't know as I have not tried it out yet.

This is easy. Co witness is when you can use your flip up sights and your red dot at the same time. Also you can use your flip up sights when your battery runs out on the reddot without having to take it off your rifle. There might be a little adjusting of sights and reddot to get them all lined up.

Yes, this is set up to co-witness with the quick release rail mount included.

According to vortex, it is lower 1/3, not true co-witness. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-swing-mount-for-30mm-magnifier

No. Magnified optics will not co-witness. Go with a red dot or quick release scope mount if you want to use iron back up sights.

One 30 mm extra-high mount is what I used on the strikefire on my AR-15. This allowed co-witness with the back-up iron sights. One ring is all that is needed but again if used on an AR15 or AR10 platform you need something taller than a low ring.

Yes, this mount will give you full co-witness. Meaning that the top of your front sight will sit in the middle of the red dot.

It is at the same height as the iron sight, but because of focus distance, you really don't see the front sight, just a slight shadow. So its not really a co-witness since the front sight isn't visible through the optic.

i had no problem with a strikefire, I was using a cantilever 1/3 lower co witness, i could see the top black rim just a hair

I have the Magpul front sight on mine, is it the same height as magpuls? also, if if you mean clear the front sight with a scope, not co-witness, I would say no, it does co witness perfectly though.
