 Glock mag adapters come w/ an ejector on the mag block. You'll need a different bolt and bbl for Glock mags. Put a railed forend on your existing gun, install the reddot on the forward rail like the Army does w/ our M16A2s. Best of both worlds. |

It's an Olympic Arms upper.
"Put a railed forend on your existing gun, install the reddot on the forward rail like the Army does w/ our M16A2s" What? We used the supplied gooseneck mount that came with the Aim Points before we got the M4s. |

Yeah, and after we got M4s, Uncle came out w/ a collapsible stock kit & the A4 rail kit to mount on A2s, so the Aimpoint mounts on the forend. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So the ejector wouldn't match up to the existing bolt? You have an Olympic system they designed to use an ejector in the upper. It works, you have mags, the world's gone crazy right now. You're wanting to build 87% of a new gun when all you need to do is put a railed forend on your existing rifle. |

Yep, when you put it that way.  the only thong is the A2 carry handle and sight in the way. I guess I could put the railed fore end on and a forward mounted Aimpoint. |

I was going to suggest getting the gooseneck mount if you can find one. As far as mounting the Aimpoint on a front rail I guess it will be ok if it's stable enough.
Six years in the infantry and I've never seen an Aimpoint mounted on a front rail. Somebody may have done it but I doubt it's doctrine. |

Don't ask me for the NSN. Oh, and the H6 buffer. |
