Hey guys I am getting ready to drop that big coin for an ACOG but have a quik question... I am wanting a TA31A or TA31F. The pics on the Trijicon site show these with the flat top addapter on them. Is this the way they all come? Reason I ask is this will be going on an A2 carry handle and dont want to order something that will not work for me. Thanks a ton...Josh Newton

Most have the M16 base mount, I guess you can get the ring base mount but its a special order. item.
In the pic they are using a TA-51 mount to hold it up. |

TA31F comes with the flat-top adapter, the TA31A does not.
Good luck! The few Acog's that's out there are pretty much $1000 bucks plus! teamroper |

I'd sooner ditch the TA51 mount and get an ARMS 19S, but seeing that you have an A2, I guess none of this matters. But unscrew 2 screws on the bottom of the TA51 and you can mount it on the carry handle. My TA31 came with a washer for just such a purpose, maybe you would use the screws you liberate from the TA51 to secure the washer and the scope on the carry handle....dunno. I think you should get a flat top, mounted on the carry handle will place the scope rather high and give you a bad cheekweld.

So the TA31A and TA31F will fit the A2 carry handle?

All of the TA31 optics will fit on the carry handle. The TA31F is specifically set up to mount on a flattop as a package, and so it includes the TA51 flattop adapter/mount that is optional with the other TA31s. The mount does NOT have to be installed or used, and without it, the optic will mount in the carry handle channel with no problem.
I personally prefer the TA31A over the F, though. The chevron is harder to pick up when using the BAC feature because it isn't solid and doesn't reflect as much of the red light back to the shooter. The triangle of the TA31A is easier to see when transitioning from target to target. Just something you might want to consider. -Troy |

Normally I'm not crazy about optics mounted on a carry handle, but the ACOG is an exception.
The height is just about perfect for me, even without a cheekpiece. You can transition to irons instantly with just a small move of your head. RRA 16" CAR build with standard (donut reticle) TA11:

Hey CJ, why dont you sell me that?...lol...
 I have had a offer for a TA01B which is technically for a .308 but will this really matter since I only shoot a couple hundred yards max?

Don't you want a TA31 though? The TA11 is the "three blind mice" ACOG, intended for blind old bastids' like me

I would like to have a TA31 series but I think I have a trade set up for Sunday for a TA01B. It is callibrated for .308 but I dont see why it would not work for me at the ranges I shoot. Someone step in if I am wrong, please...

It is just a scope not a BAC style ACOG, but the 308 reticle will work will with 75/77 grain ammo. |

It really is worth waiting for a BAC ACOG. That little fiber optic tube makes a big difference in usefulness (and I generally like those reticles better than the TA01 series).
