EOTech 556 lever mount

callmecolt · Sep 28, 2011

Does anyone know of a place that makes a lever type mount for easily taking the EOTech 556 on and off? I have not been able to find one on any search.

I want to get this because when the caliber changes and barrel lengths come, there will not be a sight that will hold a zero to each type of round or barrel length.

For example, if I have an 18inch barrel on I may want to put on a sight with some good zoom and a hand guard with a bi-pod. If I put a 14.5 inch barrel on, I may want to put my ACOG RCOM4 on and a hand guard with a forward grip. 10inch barrel with a slick hand guard and the EOTech. I'm sure you all get where I am going.

But yea, just planning ahead here. Thank you ahead of time for the help.

Short answer, not that I'm aware of.

The only after market QD lever for the Eotechs are made by GG&G, (without raising the height) However, they don't make one for Eotechs that come from the factory with the 7mm riser built in. (like the 556) The only other option I can think of would be the Larue or American defense eotech mounts. But they will raise the sight and addition 7mm off the rail and you won't have any co-witness.

I was curious about the same thing. I forget how my 557 mounted. The fts magnifier was qd. My xps2-0 has a thumb screw so I can take it off easily. It needs a little thread lock because it loosens but I prefer it over the qd because it was a little difficult sometimes. Had to use a spent case for leverage.

My 553blk came with the ARMS throw lever qd mount (its a 1/3 co-witnes). I don't know if you can buy it separately though. I'm also pretty sure the magnifier w/ fts mount has the ARMS qd mount btw.

Maybe they will make one soon for it. At least I hope! Going to get a quick release lever for the ACOG within the next few weeks.

Well I just ended up selling the 556. Plan to replace it with a Trijicon Reflex type sight. No batteries is the way to go! And placed my order yesterday for the quick release ACOG mount.
