Well 6H05T, you inspired me to go do some swapping around, these builds are just never done. Was able to get the RIS on and RAS off. Now able to use the proper leaf sight mounting screw instead of the one I had to make for the RAS since the spring steel was in the way. Unemployment sucks at times, but definitely nice for tidying up the toys! Now just waiting for the mailman for 16A4 parts to arrive...

Picked up this manual for the M68 sight.
 Attached FileHas lots of good info on the CompM2 (or PRO). I picked up a set of the rubber bikini style lens covers on eBay and also bought a double battery adapter with strap from ADCO. Unfortunately the battery housing is not identical to what’s in the manual but it’s all I could find. I also tethered the sight and light with paracord.  Attached FileI also found some 5/8” round foam that works perfectly for filling the tubes on the SOPMOD stock so the batteries don’t slide around and make noise. Got the foam at ACE Hardware. I put the batteries in first then the foam piece then the cap. When you remove the cap you can shake the tube and the batteries will push the foam right out. Maybe this is well known, I didn’t know.

I've got a question for the experts, I have 2 different QRP mounts for the M68 (CompM2) sight. One looks just like what is in the military manual for the sight and mount and has a shallow groove milled into the upper rear portion. I bought this as a military surplus mount in new condition. The other one does not have this shallow groove but is identical, including all other machining, in every other way to the first mount including the knob and other pieces. It came in a proper Aimpoint box and bag and was also advertised as military surplus. The finish is slightly darker on the second one. Was there 2 variations on this mount? The un-grooved second mount does not appear to be some knock-off Chinese junk and fits perfect on the rifle and the sight and is dimensionally correct as far as I can tell. I was using it till I discovered the difference after buying the manual so I found a new un-issued QRP mount and installed it but it fits and works the same.
Anybody know the story on these differences? @Combat_Diver The first QRP mount with shallow milled groove which matches most photos of the QRP mount:  Attached FileSecond QRP without the shallow milled groove:  Attached File |
