Leupold QRW Ring for Mounting Surefire on RAS

[James W]

I am looking for a QD ring to mount a 6V Surefire on a KAC RAS.

The ARMs rings that I found were 30 mm and used a shim to get down to 1 inch.

It looks like Leupold makes a line of rings called the QRW that would work (1 inch, Matte finish, Quick Detach).

My question is: How high of a ring do I need so that the head of the flashlight will clear the RAS? My light is a standard Surefire 6V weaponlight with the shock isolated head.

The only scopes I have are Aimpoints or ACOGs, so I have never wrestled with the ring height issue before.

I am thinking Low or Medium height.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

James W

Maybe a medium ring? If you mount it on the side of the rail, it should not be a problem. I remember a fellow shooter who had a rail mounted on the side of his M1A, it looked like a low ring.
