looking for a single ring to mount on my ar rail for a laser. the laser is non adjustable. it came with a scope mounted adj mount, and a fixed rail mount. when mounted on the side of my rail, it is not centered with the scope reticle.

thank you in advance..

when using the supplied rail mount,mounted on the side, it is lower left of scope, maybe covering 10% @ the 8 o'clock mark. they do include an adj mount, that mounts to the scope, just a little bulky. I just figured I would ask.

I have heard of some guys shimming the ring mount that attaches to the rail to "cant" it to the center of the scope.  I used the mount that goes straight on the scope tube as its adjustable.  There are a number of quick detach picatinny mounts in use on these as well but will cost.

i know, but it does not line up, quick detach or not, w/ scope, I called swfa, they said laser genetics is working on one, I asked in a few forums, no one knows of an adjustable ring, so i am going to butcher, i mean machine and mill the adj scope mount unit for dovetail. Laser genetics told me today, maybe 1st quarter next year they might have one :(
