Anyone have one ? I was thinking of putting a TA01 on my SAR-48, and was wondering how this works out with cheekweld and such. Thinking of using the LaRue mount or the ARMS one. Thanks in advance, Scott |
| When I got the scope mount on my PARA, I tried the TA31 from my AR on it so I could determine whether or not I wanted one for my FAL. After trying it out, I decided that the AIMPOINT was out, the ACOG was IN! I decided on the 3x Compact ACOG for the 16" since it's meant more for speed than distance. |
 This is a T168 (ACOG copy) on a FAL WITH the DSA special mount. Here is a better pic of one with an ACOG on a rail with standard mounting:   See how the height over bore is WAY above the irons? Now think of an AR with the same deal. We try to keep scopes, red dots, etc... in line with the irons, for a consistent weld, and POA/POI trajectory. On the FAL, optics just sit a lot higer. Getting a cheekpiece is the way to go for most, I imagine. |
That is a pic of my rifle. |

will I be still able to use iron sights with an ACOG mounted on my FAL? Yes & No No = The sight tunnel of the ACOG will not allow the normal use of the rear sight, BUT I use the sight tunnel as a rear ghost ring only for CQB. Yes = Mount your ACOG on a QR mount and when you want to use your irons, pop it off. |
Uhhhh.... if you get the DSA mount I mentioned - you CAN use irons and ACOG. www.dsarms.com/item-detail.cfm?ID=TA620A&storeid=1&image=acogfalmnt.gif So the correct answer is YES, IF you buy the right parts. |
