let me be the firs to recommend the ARMS mount. I owned 2 of them and they were built rock solid. THe smith mount is also an extremely good mount but i have no experience with it. You picked the 2 best mounts on the market so choosing between them is a tough call

ARMS # 18 and Smith Enterprise scope mounts are quality units. A few folks have had to Dremel a little on the under side of their new style ARMS # 18 mounts due to slightly different receiver geometries on some SA, Inc. M1A rifles. The ARMS # 18 mount sits the lowest on the receiver.

So does the ARMS block the iron sights?

The Smith mount serves me just fine.It is a clone of the Brookfield which is the standard by which all others are judged.Here it seems like it's in the favor of the ARMS,which is a very fine mount.At the premier M1A/M14 site www.battlerifles.com it's in favor of the Smith mount.Either will serve you fine.

I have 3 ARMS #18 mounts.I love them all.
I don't have problems using the iron sights though.Rifle is sighted for 100 yards with plenty of room to see the sights.
