Scope mount for left handed AR

[cbmax]

Hello all,

I just finished upgrading my Stag Model 7 and I have run into my first issue.

I bought a Larue Quick Disconnect mount (LT-104) and a Leupold VXIII scope (4.5-14 x 40).

For those not familar with the Larue mount, it is a solid one piece mount.

Unfortunately the Larue mount is designed for a right handed rifle as the throw out levers interfere with the ejection port. I reversed the scope mount to put the throw out levers on the right side but this doesn't allow me to get the optimum eye relief or leave me enough rail space for my BUIS.

So my question is will a two piece mount set up do the trick? Can individual rings be reversed for a left handed rifle application? Can anyone please recommend a quality set of individual rings designed for a flat top AR. I was hoping for something with throw out levers or thumb screws. I need them for a 30MM tube. Please provide exact model number and source.

Thanks .

Here are some pictures.

Some are with the scope as originally mounted with levers to the right. Than I flipped the mount to put the levers to the left. Yes I realize that with levers to the right the scope is backwards.

So do you think the mount interferes with the dust cover enough to be an issue?

That scope makes me think you do not intend to shoot while mucking around in the swamp, I would say leave the cover open. It was designed to keep the jungle out and the setup you have looks more like target use. You might want to remove the door completely.

then add some glen seekins rings, and you should be all set.

Not sure, just going to have to try it.

I tend to use the magwell as a FVG on my AR, and being wrong handed as well, I've fired many rounds with the door not all the way open since my hand was blocking it. Other than a hot delta ring, I've never had a problem.

Of course, if its not a go to gun, you could remove the door as mentioned above.
