So I was trying to stalk up on some pigs the other night and just couldn’t get a good picture through the PVS 14. Hadn’t noticed that the standard mount was out of alignment with the compM4 but in complete darkness it really obscured the field of view.
So I ordered American Defense QD PVS mount and the SOCOM height CompM4 mount so at least I know that they’ll both be at the same height since both mounts are made by the same company. Will post up pics when I get it next week.

American Defense.. great products and only a couple hours south of me.

Hate to say I was disappointed.
The PVS 14 is not only vertically out of alignment with the aim point (.250 higher) it’s also not horizontally perfectly aligned.
The PVS mount is also not able to
Be mounted with the offset to the rear since they only notched for the battery compartment knob on one side. Would be nice for a monolithic rail like mine.

I emailed AD for comment. Not going to be happy if I wasted $250

I think I asked you this a long time ago, but do you have the half moon spacer for the Aimpoint mount? I can't remember exactly how much it raises it, but it might be enough to make it all same plane.

I have both risers. The one that is absolute co witness and the socom lower 1/3. Neither work. I have been emailing photos and part numbers back and forth with the tech and well see what he says. These two parts were supposed to be “exact” height according to their website. Will report back the final answer.

They should be able to make it right.

Haven't tried my PVS with a sight yet, sure works good though.
I have to try the new IR also, should be a game changer.

Latest is that they had me send them the stamped part numbers on each part of the mount and then they said they would send me a mailing label to return it for inspection.
It takes about 2 days for them to respond to each email after a week to respond to my original email so this is really dragging out.

Update. 7 full months later and I still don’t have an answer nor do I have my mount back.
I’ll email to ask for status and wait for the inevitable apology and promise to follow up. Then nothing. Repeat process.
I have to say I’ll never buy another American Defense Mount. Worst possible service except maybe Fred’s metal building company.

Place them on our bad vendor list if you want to
1. They lost it
2. They sold it
3. Someone stole it while in their possession
