7" Receiver Riser Question

[kjo43]

I just bought a M101A2 -> More on that later once its in hand

Need a little help from those who have one of these 7" risers, maybe grab me a quick measurement from center of receiver to center of pintle?

I need an effective 5" net rise from the center of my receiver to get to 25"... The question I'm trying to answer is will a 7" riser plate (like this) using the highest setting get me enough height using the top 4 mounting holes? I don't want to buy the 12" riser for a number of reasons.

Thanks!

Well, if the vertical bolt spacing is 1.75", then the top set of holes should mount the pintle hitch 5.25" higher.

Yes, you are right on - there's 5.25" of adjustment in 3 choices (top, middle or bottom). but Bottom may actually place the lunette resting point lower than the center of the receiver, I cannot tell this without having both the riser and pintle together.

And the answer is....

Drumroll please.......

The 7 1/2" riser + pintle in the top holes, gets you an effective lunette height 2.5-3" higher than the center of your receiver.

Thanks to all those who played.
