Running 15mm FF and MB from 19nn rods - Solutions?

[Jonathan Pears]

Can anyone shed any light of running 15mm gear with 19mm rods?

Maybe running the 15mm inside the 19's or something? Anyone done this or something similar?

I want to run the shoulder dovetail and baseplate from red with hand grips (all 19mm) but run the FF and MB from 15mm rods.

maybe a riser 15? 2x Bridge plate adapters to run your 15 over your 19's...? The matte box should fit, but I'm thinking space might get tight with the FF...

I'm selling a RED 19mm universal mount with a 15mm adapter...

This seems like a good option too, though you have to use their rods:

It works great! The 15mm LW mount screws onto the front of the R1MX and lives there all the time. The 15mm rods screw in when you want to use them. Or unscrew them so they aren't in the way when you are strictly running 19mm.

Here is a photo that shows both the 19mm and 15mm rods installed at the same time:
