Wondering if anyone has set up the MLOK version with a vortex sparc and the new vortex 3x magnifier? if so, what is the best way to do it?

The accessories your describing should go on the picatiny rail on top of your upper and shouldn’t need MLOK

It just doesn't look like there is enough rail for both scopes on the pic rail?

So if you have the model that does not have the extension rail over the hand guard then you are limited in what you can mount Unless you change out the handguard.

This is what I have...assuming i'll need to add mlok rail?

If you're talking about the top pic rail that's on an AR receiver, and used alot on the handguard rail, there shold be plenty of room on the top of the receiver.

The only issue that might occur is if the rear BUIS (if you're using one) is too tall/bulky so it interfers with the 3X magnifer, that behind the Sparc.

Then you would need a lower-profile rear BUIS to allow the 3X magnifer to overhang the rear BUIS.

The rear BUIS in that SA pic is mounted far too forward. It should be mounted using the rear-most slot in the pic rail, and when folded down should allow the magnifer to overhang it, unless SA is using bulky rear BUIS.

Don't know why SA is showing pics with the rear BUIS mounted like that. The rear BUIS doesn't need to be deployed upright all the time, that's why they fold-flat.

The magnifer should be on a mount that allows it to swing/tilt away allowing for use of the Sparc/red dot or rear BUIS without it.

Agreed...thank you! Going to purchase the magnifier and give it a go.
