Night Vision REAP-IR-2 LOP and Eye on Diopter Cover Issues

[TexasGunSlinger]

Just started working with my new REAP-IR sight and having issues with my stock length and ability to comfortably get my eye on the rubber eye cover of the REAP. AR-15 platform - Magpul PRS stock with DDM4 upper. At it's most rearward setting on the pic rail, I'm still 2-3 inches from contact and opening up the protective petal inside the eye guard. It only works if I run the butt plate adjustment all the way in, but that messes up my gun fit. Also confirmed on a collapsible stock on another AR-15.

Any ideas on I can get the scope more rearward, or am I missing something in the setup process?

ditch the rubber eye cover, replace it with cap similar to the on the front if you need protection.

Yankee hill makes a riser that will raise the height up a bit and can cantilever rearward another inch or so, may work for your application.

And lose the eyecup and replace with SNB filter

as said dump the rubber shutter cover.

Thanks! Appreciate the tips.

Get a collapsible stock if you want to use the shutter. I prefer the shutter, but most do not.

i do not use the shutter, and if you need more heighth then go with mole skin.

On a "stoner" (ar-15 ish platform) I mount the mk3 60mm as far back as it will go. That puts my nose on the charging handle with the stock one notch to the rear from completely collapsed.
So, either shorten your stock or use a reverse riser.

Ordered YHM reverse riser. Also ordered screw in filter - based on some addtional info in this thread - https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/pvs-14-filters.6936303/

Even with the filter (and I use filters also) a butler creek flip cap is also nice to completely cover the rear lens, both for protection and to reduce vis light emitted from there when the unit is on, but u are not looking thru it.
