RDS riser mount?

Styrak · April 19th, 2008, 06:19

Hey there. I have two of the same RDS, and on both my P90 and my AUG, the RDS sits too low when I have my mask on to use. Is there any simple or cheap ways of raising my RDS's to make them usable?

I was thinking a 20mm railed riser of some sort, but I not exactly sure.

Solutions?

Really high, but again out of stock
http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwol...l?prodID=13667

Instock! Not a bad price and if it were an AR you'd keep your rear iron!

First one, maybe, looks like a decent raise.

Second one, not bad, but expensive.

Third, not bad but I dunno if that's high enough?

I was thinking of maybe this:

or this:

WAY cheaper.

Whaddya think?

How much rise is that? An inch?

If that... its prob only 1/4 to 1/2 inch but that alone is quite a bit of lift. What optic is it you have? Maybe a canti-lever mount would be best for you?

Madbull makes a "RIS fixer" basically a riser.

It might look better on an AUG and P90 since one end is made angled:

It also is very short, so it should fit properly on the P90

This is what it looks like. I need an inch or more raise on both guns.

That's awfully high up if you need that much of a riser.

Maybe invest in a different mask, or go without a mask?

Grr. It's a paintball mask, so goggles and face protection. Maybe I'll just have to go without RDS's.

I agree.

Your mask is the problem here.

Sergeantmajor · April 19th, 2008, 15:07

why dont you put your RDS on the side rail?

ROB JONES · April 19th, 2008, 17:23

What about trimming the mask at the cheek area.

That would just open it up at the cheek area. It's not that thick.

And yes I thought about mounting it on the side as a joke, but it might actually work. Can't do that for the AUG though.

Styrak · April 19th, 2008, 20:04

Figured it out. Ripped apart my mask. Now I can use goggles for outside and use my RDS's, and I can also attach the front mask part for CQB and not use RDS's.
