Anybody using one of these?  I am thinking about getting and mounting a TA11.

Yes, quite a few Army RA units, several USN surface combattants and shortly, quite a few NG units.  Use with TA11's is quite prevalent, but production is catching up with the TA-55A, so more units are getting those, hence the increased demand for the mount. I have one on an M14SE (LRB receiver) with TA55A.  Very sweet.

I thought the ACOG sight line was too high to mount on an M-14.

I haven't heard of this mount yet. Any more info?

It does sit high when you use the ACOG flat top mount and the SEI rail, but...




... you can remove the mount and rail, this puts the optic down low.

H20Man,
How hard was it for you to remove the flat top adaptor?  It was a real B%$#@, as I had to use a small butane pen torch to heat up the screws and melt the factory Red Loctite Trijicon secrures them with.

Thanks for the photos! I have one on order.  I am mounting up a TA11E so I dont think I will have to move it as far back as you have.
How is the eye relief on your set up?

That was a TA31F on loan fron Steve Troy. It is made for an AR and has a super short eye relief of one and a half inches.
I have returned the ACOG to TROY and I sold the mount - I like the EOTECH for my needs.

Anyway, both the TA11E with 2.40" and the TA55A with 2.20" of eye relief are the hot ticket.
IMHO, the best mount for the ACOG on an M14 is the new TROY MCS that will start shipping this month.
This stock turns the M14 into a flat top much like an AR-10

I got the mount from Smith and mounted up the TA11E.  I really like the set up, I have used other optics on this rifle and none really fit my needs, this set up does.  Thanks for the photo and advice.  I will have to post a photo.
