Hi all,
It's been a while.
I have got an Elbit Falcon II Reflex sight. It's Israeli, the IDF uses them on there Long's and carbines. It's a rather large sight and it seems like the IDF has a special bracket made to make it fit over the handguard by fixing it to the front sight of the carbine somehow. (said to be A.R.M.S., but they say they don't know it.)
Anyone know these mounting brackets ?
(look at the pictures at this great site: http://www.isayeret.com/optics/elbit/elbit.htm )
Also I read a review at the Old.AR15.com site.

I would like to fit it to my M4gery, but it looks like I have to saw of the front mountingring to get it to fit between my carryhandle and the front sight so I can fit it to the A.R.M.S. #39 mount.
I have been thinking of some other options (just not to wreck the scope), like buying a flattop upper, or trading it for a smaller trijicon reflex.
The Falcon is ideal to fit on a SP1 (or other light barrel 20") the rear of the sight it fixed in a 2 pin setup attached to the carryhandle and the front screws on a clamp around the barrel, with the top of the clamp protruding trough the upper handguard.
Any other suggestions are more than welcome.
Best regards
Nick
