I have this mount and the directions state that their should be a slight gap in the base and optic. Tighten in an x pattern to 10 inch pounds max. Also i found that you shouldnt use the screws the mount comes with cuz they're too short. Use the screws from the aems mount with some locktite. Its a nice mount and way better than the original.
ADM has this disclaimer for their AEMS mount. Not sure if this is the issue you're running into, but thought I'd share just incase. "NOTE- Holosun produced about 500 of the original first run AEMS Red Dots with incorrect rear screw hole spacing. If you received one of these Red Dots and it does not fit the mount, Holosun will exchange it for a newer generation AEMS Red Dot.**"
Thanks. I did order one and it mounted up fine no problem. I would have just asked them to send me a replacement / RMA. Are you going to run Iron? I guess I’m considering 45% mount since the gun comes with decent ones.
The gap is actually quite a bit more than the camera shows, so much so that the rear screws wouldn't catch. I could have taken a file to the bottom ridge of the AEMS but just on principle I shouldn't have to modify my optic for an aftermarket riser.
@archangelconcepts5508 yea I get it. They're expensive. I'm going to order a scalarworks mount for my aems in about a week. Hopefully it don't have the same issue. If it does I'm just going to mill the bottom of the optic. Good luck brother thanks for the feedback and video.
I find it hard to believe that the gap was so large that the screw wasn't long enough to catch. Sounds like you tilted 100% to one side to exaggerate the problem. In reality, if you balanced on the interference point and lightly threaded all 4 screws, then they could have all been tightened down. Of course, there's no footage of any screw-in attempts. Just a lot of complaining. @@archangelconcepts5508
@DDadams0 so I ordered one for the aems, and it's supposed to have a very slight gap, and your supposed to tighten the screws down in an x pattern for a compression fit. Read the directions.
Very strange that both manufacturers would have issues. I wonder if it's just that the footprint is new and there's learning curve with their CNC set ups.
Supposedly with Reptilia Holosun sent bad specs… makes me wonder if they are going off CAD or actual physical product. What are you going to do? Did Scalarworks say anything?@@archangelconcepts5508
I understand the feeling of disappointment, but you need to gently & carefully file the index to make it fit & take it to the range. Adapt, overcome, innovate & improvise. We’ve all had to do something similar, when you’re mixing & matching parts, you will inevitably run into situations like this.
I know several people were telling me to take a file to it, and it would have been simple enough, but I'm glad I didn't. Sent the riser and my optic to Scalarworks and they found something was actually wrong with the optic that Holosun had to fix...update video will drop soon!
@@archangelconcepts5508: Man, check this out: I admittedly had more difficulty than usual, getting my windage & elevation zeroed on my AEMS, but I finally did it... I haven’t heard or found anything from anyone else to confirm this, but I’m convinced that the “Right” or “Up” adjustment indicators are labeled backwards on the body of the AEMS. My spotter would say, “you’re low & to the right, go up 4 clicks & move it left 8 clicks.” I would make the adjustment & that would completely throw me off of the paper target. When I ignored the indicator marks on the body of the Holosun & focused only on tracking my shot placement across the target, I was able to zero it in. My AR15 has a Burris P.E.P.R. mount with a Vortex scope below the AEMS. The scope was sighted quick & easy. The red dot was a WTF that took 4 times longer than it should have. I had to use the scope as a co-witness to get the red dot lined up… without that, I probably would have given up & taken it back, maybe I still should, I haven’t decided yet. Now that it’s sighted in, I really like it, but I have to admit that it came with some challenges & disappointments.

I was just about to buy this mount and decided to search for reviews. Thank you for saving me the headache.

Please let us know the outcome as I’m looking at this mount as well. Thank you for the info.
Scalarworks asked me to send the mount and my AEMS to them so they can figure out what's going on. I will do another video update when it's resolved!
Thanks. I did order one and it mounted up fine no problem. I would have just asked them to send me a replacement / RMA.
Are you going to run Iron? I guess I’m considering 45% mount since the gun comes with decent ones.
@@archangelconcepts5508What's the update? I'm looking to purchase this mount.
I have 2 aems both on reptile mounts no issues whatsoever
Wow!!! Holy moly.
What did Scalarworks say, and what are they doing to remedy this?
Do you have an update for us?
I would just either mill the aems down with an end mill in a drill press or just take a file to it. This dont look like a big problem to me.

It is a big problem. It's a premium mount - it should be in spec. Period
@DDadams0 so I ordered one for the aems, and it's supposed to have a very slight gap, and your supposed to tighten the screws down in an x pattern for a compression fit. Read the directions.
Thank you for the shout out! I can send you another plate and killflash for the AEMS if you need.
Heck ya! I already have two of your adapter plates but a killflash would be awesome! Didn't know one of those existed for the AEMS!
Note that this mount will not fit a slightly out of mil spec rail like the ruger PCC! Love thst Mount but won’t fit on every rail unfortunately!
@jbauer5458 good to know, thanks!
dremel goes burrr
got the part 2?
Coming Monday, 10/16/23!
There were issues with Reptilia and the AEMS too..
This issue is no where as bad as the Reptilia situation.
Very strange that both manufacturers would have issues. I wonder if it's just that the footprint is new and there's learning curve with their CNC set ups.

What are you going to do? Did Scalarworks say anything?@@archangelconcepts5508
I disappointingly had the same issue.
Very disappointing given Scalarworks is usually awesome quality. What did you end up doing with it?
@@archangelconcepts5508 I agree. I’m going to send mine back.
did you try screwing it in and torquing it down? @@archangelconcepts5508
