Not sure what would preclude some models from working. All EOTechs are compatible to the std 1913 rail, which I assume your AR is equipped with. The only issues I've heard with EOTechs is battery life is shorter than most competing reflex sights such as Aimpoint and they have kind of a "pixellated" reticle that some object to. I don't mind the pixellated reticle myself, since the reticle is fine to begin with.
I have an EOTech 512 that I have mounted on a Benelli SBE shotgun, so being on a recoil operated 3.5" mag 12 gauge, it takes a beating. I've not had any issues with mine, though I do wish it had much better battery life.
Not to high jack the thread, but Been thinking about an Aimpoint on my Franchi shotgun, I have fiber optic sights on it now but they're hard to see at night. Having an Eotech on your's, what's your thoughts? I'd have to have the receiver drilled and tapped on mine.
