Trijicon Accupoint on Colt M4

[RPZ]

Tried searching google and forums on this with no hits..

Anyone know what height - low, med or high - A.R.M.S 22 throw lever rings to mount a Trijicon Accupoint TR24G 1-4x on a Colt M4 one piece upper type with the factory Colt flip up rear sight?

Going off of memory I believe it's medium. I'm not 100%.

I'd call or email ARMS regardless of what anyone says though unless they're a distributor and they have a chart sitting right in front of them because you'll be the one having to send them back if they're wrong.

Thanks, and yes, I'll do that. They may not know offhand. But that eyepiece is pretty large on the Trijicon, and going by their measurement for the ring heights, trying to measure up the eyepiece outer diameter, difference between the tube diameter, and doing the Kentucky dead reckoning is a big of a brain teaser. Just posted this on the off chance someone has the same setup on hand and can tell me.

Yes, the upper and fore end are machined/finished from one piece of aluminum. Good because any optics mounts that extend forward beyond the conventional receiver do not have to be cantilevered. Bad, because it is a quad rail, and if you do not like it you can not change it. It comes with factory flip up open sights. Colt also made the .308 Modular Carbine which was basically a .308 version with the same one piece upper/fore end, on which a 5.56 upper could be interchanged.
