I have another one on my M700 bolt rifle. |

Thanks, man  I do have a sling from Blue Force Gear on the way for it; however I did end up getting a Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40 for it, I already have an M1A Scout and a SA M1 Garand for irons. Got the optic all mounted up and took a pic of it sitting next to its Cold War adversary:

Did 4 tours of the Cola Wars
Work in progress. Got a GI stock in damn near new shape for an unbelievable price.  Added a Bassett mount for the MRO, and had planned on putting the magnifier behind it. However the profile of the mount interferes with the Trijicon magnifier mount, so it won't fit in the space allowed on the left side. Might need to go with a Vortex Razor Gun II E for magnification or an ACOG, although I didn't really want to put fixed power ACOG on it.  Still have a few more things to try out. |

It only took me 15 years to finally get it how I wanted it, and 20 years since I first wanted one, but here she is... Say hello to Irene:  Springfield M1A Loaded I snagged used over a decade ago. She has a smaller ChiCom slut sister who got worked over by Fulton Armory, but no pics of her yet. |

Thanks, I've been really happy with how it is going so far. Confession time: I actually have a faux selector lock and connector that I'll probably be putting onboard. |

I never really liked them on ARs and I don't like them here either. |

Great rail choice. |

Puts the optic at a reasonable height without the need for cheek risers or aftermarket stocks and the factory sights are still usable. I haven't seen an ultimak to compare it with but I'd recommend this for anyone wanting a similar configuration. I've debated sending it off for cerakote, still mulling that over. |

Might I inquire as to who made that rail? It appears that one could throw an offset light with a short section of MLok I’d like to do with my similar setup. The Ultimaks been great but hard to mount a light without a third party light mount. |

The Ultimaks been great but hard to mount a light without a third party light mount. http://www.m14.ca/M14_M1A_SCOUT_HAND_GUARD_SHG.html It took about a month from order to delivery but it does seem to be a quality piece. They offer a rail segment that fits into the slots. I'm not sure if an MLOK will work, let me know if I can take some measurements to better inform. The tanker front sight is 1/8" wide. It's pretty enormous, a 2 MOA RDS makes a big difference in what I can do with this rifle. |
