I am running an Aimpoint on an A3 upper with an LMT backup sight. Due to the LMT, I cannot use the rear pop-up lens cover that came with the Aimpoint. The rifle will ultimately be stored in a locking rack in a patrol car where the lock will sit on the handguard where the front lens cap rests when open. I don't want the front lens cap closed when the rifle is in the rack as it precludes my use of the LMT in a rapid deployment situation. What I'd like are options for protecting one or both lenses. I was thinking that a kill-flash might work up front lens but couldn't come up with anything for the rear lens. Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated. |

You didn't mention how your AimPoint was mounted, so take a look at this: [img]photos.ar15.com/ImageGallery/Attachments/DownloadAttach.asp?iImageUnq=12571[/img] With a cantilever mount, you get the benefit of having your optic further forward, plus you have room for your scope caps. Note that I have them opening down, so the fold against the gun, out of your field of view and where they're unlikely to get snagged on something. -Troy |

The Aimpoint is mounted as far forward on the receiver as possible. I can't run it any further forward due to the locking arm on the rack. I'm using a ARMS 22M68 with full spacer. Edited to add this current image: [img]http://thecurmudgeon.freeservers.com/current_rifle.jpg[/img] |
