If I mount this laser to an AR-15, would the rifle's recoil be too much for it? Would it quickly lose its zero?

I mounted mine and zeroed it within 4-5 inches of bullseye. Ran over 50 rounds and it still held target. I might be wrong, but this site is good for 50 yards. After that, it would be best to use a scope.

I think so. You're getting a whole unit for less than the price of a good mount. Mine is on a 15-22, and it holds up during shooting, but loses zero during transport in its soft case.

James, I use an M-15 with a carry handle under a Picattiny rail, infred scpe & laser. . The carry handle matches perfectly to this sight when rapid aquisiotion & fire is nec. I'm sorry, but I don't know too much about the AR. My guess is that if you use a carry handle you should be fine.

it worked good at first on my sons mossburg tactical ar .22. after about 500 rounds it got to were I had to re-site it in every time he used it. also it uses batteries like crazy and the laser is not hardly visible in the day lite unless your in the shade. this was as crapy as the mossburg it was mounted on and I sold them both as fast as I could! hope this helps you answer a few extra questions you may have had.

Yes this scope will take the recoil. This is a very heavy rugged product. Be careful on the scope height. You will need a way to adjust your cheek weld. The company recommends a 0 moa rail to mount this on. I hope this help you out.

Yes, BUT! Make sure during your range time to check and tighten the screws every few rounds or so. On my Mosin the rail would slightly shift forward and after every 20 or so rounds I would need to readjust the mount. Having to readjust will effect the zero slightly, but it's nothing frustrating, in my case anyway.

I have used it on my AR-15 as well as a Remington .22 they worked fine you wont get one inch groupings but it will get you close enough to fine tune it to where you want. The only issue is the laser is very loose in the barrel and falls out. So as long as your not shooting down a hill you will be alright.

I haven't used a laser myself but this barrel band is solid. I don't see why it would give you problems with zeroing. And if it does a little Loctite should solve the problem.

I have this scope mounted on a Springfield SOCOM M1A (16" barrel). Holds 0 perfectly fine. ZERO should not be a problem as long as you sight it correctly. If using NIKON BDC, set your target to 100 yards and adjust scope. You should be good to go.

In response to your question , the switches are on both sides and be pushed on rather smartly in order to cycle the laser on or off. Will mount on any rail positioned under the barrel.The red LED is not bright enough to be seen in bright daylight, however it is very visible at twilight and later. My wife carries concealed and has never had the laser max come loose or turn on accidently .Yes I would purchase another. Note if you want to use in daylight please look at the green laser. It is much more expensive , but in my oppinion worth the price. Most lasers are designed to work best in low light anyway.Your choice depends on your specialized needs!!!c In response to your question , the switches are on both sides and be pushed on rather smartly in order to cycle the laser on or off.

This cartridge laser, when inserted into the barrel of your firearm will allow you to set your scope by aligning the sights with the point that the laser strikes a target at a specified distance. it is not a perfect way to zero your sights, because the laser does not drop due to gravity like a real bullet would. but it is a great starting point, and it will allow you to rough site your scope without wasting boxes of ammo. Just make sure you have a rifle that uses this caliber of ammunition. Regards!

The laser itself acts like a barrel weight. The Laserlyte adapter weighs practically nothing. Both both will help keep the barrel down if you have a tendency to aim high. I used barrel weights while shooting rimfire competition with my Browning Match semi auto. As for the recoil, it is off of the slide to the rear not the frame. Added frontal weight may reduce upward recoil, but the only way to reduce recoil is to frontal vent the barrel.

I have this gun and I don't think the recoil would break a flash light or laser sights. The recoil is not that stron. I love mine pistol and I would recomind it to anybody. Any more question ask.

It fits on a standard picatiny rail and I've had no issues with it handling recoil. If you're hoping for precision out of any laser you're sadly mistaken. After significant volume of fire the brightness of the flashlight decreases due to exhaust smoke.

Put it on my Russian sks and put a laser on it. It's a really good mount and holds zero.

I have it mounted under all my semi auto hand guns and pictanny rail assault rifles they are recoil resistant thus far no problems. Very bride at 150 lumens!!

Laser will not stay on zero, I have a G22, full size with a weaver rail, fits fine.

The laser can be zeroed to the sights but you need to pick a specific distance to set zero. Remember the laser is an inch or so below the barrel so it has to rise to meet the bullet line of fire. Any shot that is less than the zero distance will be high- any shot further than the zero distance will be low- to varying degrees depending on the distances. If you zero at 7 yards you should be inside a six inch circle at 3 to 10 yards - good enough for self defense inside a home. In my humble opinion.
