What's the "average" wait time to grab one of these? if that's even possible to answer? Any "other" trusted sources? Thanks in advance.

For those lucky enough "end users" what is the difference in the option for the flip mount with the "integral" or "thumb screw" ? choices?

Pre-orders were in February and we just got them. I’m guessing it will be pre-orders again if there is another run.

Integral is what I prefer since there’s no thumbscrews sticking out on the sides. I like how you can easily install and remove the magnifier with the shoe.

Thanks, so is that in regard to the "bayonet" style mounting of the magnifier? or the actual attachment of the riser to the rail?
If U have a spare moment maybe a pic? It could be worth a thousand words, LOL. & Thank You.

Yea, the integral has a bayonet that you depress to remove the magnifier. You can take a look at my original post and you can see how the bayonet system works. I also linked a video in this thread where Jamey goes through the different models.

Re-watched the video, I'm "golden" now I know a bit about the mount. Thanks , Cheers.

OK, so if I understand this, the "screw" would attach the magnifier to the riser?

I'm sorry if I'm confused, this is my first look @ this product. Thank BTW.

Take a look at the commercially available version of the riser which may answer your questions:

I can't answer that since everyone likes the height of their optics a little different. I like lower 1/3rd best, which is variable from mfg to mfg. Typically it is between 1.5-1.7 or so. So your eotech EXPS alone sits at that 1.7 height, throw in .625 and you got 2.3" height. Since this is on an HK AR style rifle, it has a built in riser already due to the piston so it's a little higher than 2.3". So me personally, I would not get the 5/8th's riser. All that being said, sight height is all personal preference.
