How would this do as a side mount on an AR?

I gotta say after purchasing I really disliked the fact you can't turn it off , the cover puts it into a dim mode to extend battery life but not off. Anyway its very compact and it holds true. I had it mounted on my glock 21 (.45) it took a beating and kept on ticking ;)

Only ok. I tried mounting it at 45 degrees but it is so small that the dot is hard to pick up quickly. It would probably work better mounted to a scope so you just have to move your head up a little without really moving your cheek weld.

It might mount but the scope would not be high enough to properly align with your eye. On flat top AR's you need higher rings so that with a proper cheek weld on the straight AR stock your eye is behind the scope. Normal rifle stocks have some drop in the stock...AR's do not.

I can tell that I used the Barska mount that came with the scope and mounted it just fine on my AR-15 (223) and there was plany room for adjusting it back and forth on top of my AR.

I mounted that exact set-up and had good results. It depends a bit on the iron sights, but if you're using the stock sights then it should be no problem.

It mounts perfectly on a flat top AR15 using Nikon's p-series scope mounts. Must be a flat top though, without the carry handle. Hope that helps.

i put it on an ar10.using the flat rail system.the up and down adjustments are knobs so no tools needed.the mount is clamp style.

hey this will work fine if you are willing to but a rail mount and screw it on to the shotgun works perfectly that way.

Possibly but ati makes a much better clamp with side sling stud for 10$ish.I think it is advertised as a light mount but works well as added brace/sling mount on my mossberg 8shot 20".

I put mine on an AR-15 and it works great. It took about 5-10 minutes to sight in at 50 meters. make sure you buy the right mounts for your situation. I used AccuShot Premium 1-Inch Weaver Style See-Thru High-Pro Rings (available from Amazon) on mine. I was pleased with the way the setup worked.

You would just need a standard scope mount. It clamps on just like standard scope rings. I had to use a riser to make clearance to easily operate the charging handle on an AR, but that is not a problem on the AK.

I'd say your best bet is a roll bar mount. It's adjustable and can fit around the gun not a problem.

Yes, it will hold up nicely. I have this mount for my AR10. It is what Vortex recommends for the AR10.

Yes, it would mount on your AR. I think it would do "ok" but it's not a sighting system I'd put on my AR. I've got a Vortex Sparc on my "nice" AR and a Vortex StrikeFire on my not as nice AR. Maybe take a look at them. Amazon carries both of these sights, but Amazon's competition in South Carolina (PSA) has them beaten badly in price. (You listening guys?!!?)

On my gun it didn't pose a problem. It was virtually flush with the gun, but ultimately mounted just fine. Gun is an AR.

I did mounted it to a helmet mount with some clever rigging. I think it would work with a regular nvg j arm though I think.

It can, not sure if it would work well with the angled side pointing to the rear. It is made for AR's, that is why it has that angle but works on other rifles too.

Don't think it is made to be mounted onto an AR 15. I just carry it with me when I'm walking the dogs at night. Works well as it makes me feel safe.
