So I've been thinking about scoping my full size M1A. In the past on a previous M1A, I have used the Brookfield Precision mount, but sadly they are no more.

I have been looking at the Fulton Armory Brookfield Precision type mount, but they are out of stock just like almost every other mount on the market right now.

Sadlak is pretty much out of every one of their mounts except for an aluminum mount.

ARMS 18 is OOS everywhere too.

Was thinking about the Smith scope mount but it's practically double price-wise what some of the other ones are.

So since I have been out of the loop when it comes to M1A scope mounts, what are you guys think? What do you think about the Sadlak aluminum mount?

Or hold out for a steel mount to come in stock?

LRB Arms M25 receiver is what you seek.  https://www.lrbarms.com/m14-receivers--actions.html

We used a few of the aluminum Sadlaks on genuine M14s with no problems. I wouldn’t hesitate to use one, buy with confidence...

FPNI again.  Amazing how that happens.

That's not a option...

Thanks! I ordered one.

We found the Brookfield mounts would work loose, even with Loctite, so we tack welded the head of the mounting bolt to the outside of the steel mount.

I don't know how well aluminum works.

You might find some new Armscorp clone mounts on Gunbroker.

Smith Enterprise sells similar mounts.

I have a Smith enterprise with the older weaver cut top.  Hey they were blowing them out cheap.  

I would have no qualms using the Sadlak aluminum mount.   None.  

That said after having gone through the scoping and bedding in a McMillan M3a stock I still say its not bolt gun accurate nor will it be.  It is also a bit heavy and unergonomic even with the M3a cheek piece.  

Just my two bits.

Mark your screws with a paint marker to see if they walk out on you.  My old springfield aluminum mount was terrible for that.....single slotted thumb screw mount gen 1.   A call to Springfield got me the advice to beat their aluminum mount to swage it into the receiver T slots.  It did help some.

I doubt that you will be disappointed

Get with Bassett Machine Shop and look into their low mount

Buy once cry once, Call Smith Enterprise...

I changed out my SA mount to the Sadlak and I am very pleased with the setup. I had so many issues with the Springfield mount coming loose and get ring to fit the rail properly.  The Sadlak mount is leagues better in design.
