What's your opinion on the clone Romeo 3.  I got one a couple of years ago, and none of the wind age and elevation adjusters work, but tbh I can just point shoot and walk the aeg BBs onto target.

Everything works, parallax error is very low, it’s very nice

Improved them since I got mine then, or possibly just a result of the mixed quality lottery of buying off aliexpress haha

Second I reckon, I’ve had a few over the last 3 or 4 years and all have been excellent

Yeah my Romeo 4 is pretty good, and I wondered if it was an out of the warehouse job on a Friday afternoon

Seems like the real-steel-mall-ninja-cool-kids stateside are making 'NV' height optics a 'thing', especially after the former DEVGRU guys at GBRS Group have been extolling the virtues of 'heads up' shooting in CQB to maintain situational awareness.

Thought I give it a go - I dub thee the 'tower-block' riser:

Yes, it looks ridiculous. But they might be onto something. It feels very natural and works much better with Paintball goggles in the Airsoft context.

This was the initial inspiration for 'going high':

With the caveat that I'm forever blasting the barricade because of sight-over-bore issues, for dynamic close range shooting, it does make a lot of sense.  Keep the toy level at chest height and you'll hit a chest height - the sights are more for righty-lefty.

@Druid799 ?

It's not quite as bad as that...I've refined the design a fair bit so it doesn't look so - blocky. I've added a few Unity mount style cuts and changed to a single piece design.

Niiiice. 

I've been after a unity style mount.

Ready made are around £40.

Are you making yours for sale?

Joking aside that’s a nice design you’ve made their , I do see the logic behind the idea BUT I had it drummed in to me your gun always points where your looking never in different directions hence looking down the sights of your gun and not glancing around , plus try and make your self the smallest target possible so again hunched over your gun smaller target that standing upright ? But then again I was trained practically back in the days of muskets so what feck do I know ! ?‍

I'm happy to make you one for a couple quid to cover filament/postage costs once I've finished with the design. Latest revision is on the printer now. 

As I've said to you before I don't like the idea of profiting from anything I make simply because once I'm not an engineer or product designer by trade - I work with spreadsheets for a Bank as my day job. I cannot guarantee a 'product' that I make won't fail even with 'normal' use at some point in the future, and crossing that line into a mini 'business' means I have to assume a degree of responsibility over said product - hope that makes sense?

Yep understood ?

The charging handle component you did for me is still going strong.?

I will pm you. Thanks ?

I agree, it feels very normal, I’ve  only used the clone risers from Unity, but as long as you zero correctly it feels great

 

[Speedbird_666]

Looks a little less goofy and mounts much better now as a single-piece clamping design:

Just waiting on a delivery of black filament today so I can print the final version.

 

[Wavey_Gravey]

That’s very cool.

Whats the actual height of the dot? Looks taller than the 2.26’ of the unity mount.

It is taller. The height was a very rough guesstimate of the GBRS mount which is huge.

View attachment 89390

Currently the 'rise' of the mount (top of the receiver pic rail to the top of the mount pic rail) is 52mm. Places the centre of the red dot at ~70mm or 2.75in.

Won't be everyone's cup of tea, but the more I shoulder the gun with it, the more I like the concept, even just for Airsoft purposes to get around wearing paintball goggles. Looks better than angled drop stocks that I was playing with, and at least I can argue that there is real steel precedence for a tall mount, even if it looks a bit odd.
