Ar15 ejection

[Wjesswheel]

So I got an m&p ar for a Christmas bonus (what an employer). I have no experience with a ar platform. So I took my scope of my long range 308 and slapped on it,cause I am excited about shooting it. It's a fairly high dollar scope for me $1500.00. I mounted it and the windage knob is about an inch in front of the rear of the ejection port. if I shoot it tomorrow is there any chance of the spent casing ejecting and possibly hitting my windage knob that is about 11/4 inch above the centerline of the ejection port?

Should not have a problem. It throws the case pretty much strait out to the side. You can cycle a few rounds manually to see the direction they are thrown.

Shouldn't be a problem but if it does you can get a picattinny spacer that clamps on to the top of the ar to space the scope up.

Or a port buffer to not hit the scope and place all casings in a neat pile next to you. But you should not have a problemeeting with the brass hitting your scope.

Put a piece of black electrical tape on the spot or area where you think contact will be.

Cheap, easy, removable, and simple.

The short answer is no which, coincidentally, is also the long answer.
There is a deflector, just in front of the forward assist, that will send the spent case out to the side.
You have a great employer.
