I though about drilling mine out to the close range ghost ring diameter on the Carry handle. I have a bad astigmatism and the long range peep plays tricks on me

So if you were going to put an M68 on an A4, what mount would you use? I'm assuming the "GI" mount?

It somewhat depends on the particular M68 being used. The term "M68" CCO applies to several different Aimpoint models, specifically. the Comp M2, Comp M3, Comp M4, & Comp M4s. All have been used with the M16A4 at one point or another while always being labeled as being an M68 CCO. For the Comp M2/3 models, there have rarely been used either a Wilcox or Larue Tactical Aimpoint mounts aside from the standard Early & Late models of the standard Aimpoint QRP mount. For the Comp M4 & M4S Aimpoints, there is also a Larue Tactical mount, as well a various replacement spacer heights that can be used, though I do not recall the specific model numbers of these.

I have never seen a LaRue Aimpoint mount on an A4. That's interesting. I have seen the QRP. I'm guessing that is what should be used on an M2/M3.

View Quote You are correct that the standard QRP mount was the most commonly used mount for use with the M2/M3 variants of the M68 CCO. Early A4s had the flat-based QRP mounts, and later A4s had the sloping-based ones. As mentioned earlier in this thread, the flat-based QRP mounts are rather susceptible to cracking or breaking issues due to having the thinner base versus the later thicker one. Eta: Here's a reposted pic from earlier in the thread demonstrating the difference between the early & later QRP mounts. (Early version below, Later version (with height spacer) above) (Both optics shown below are actually Aimpoint PROs which have been retrofitted with Comp M2 lens covers, adjuster caps, retainer straps, mount bases, and height spacer.) ![]() Hope this helps, FlDiveCop71 ![]() |

If this isn't allowed please delete. Selling my A4 upper to fund a Mk 12 build. Easy way to get into the A4 game.

Well, I guess we're going to see just how well my little armory holds up to hurricane Irma. Have to hit the sack now as I still have a few more preps to batton down.
I'll try & posts some post-Irma A4 pics here, you know, ....if I still have an armory afterward. ![]() |

Just a note to self - other cloners have this clearly in mind (painting, etc.) - that the been there done that look is always appropriate on military clones. It just truly adds. |

Where does one get the cage code sticker to make their clone look all that more authentic?

Last wish? I wish... You had... More time.

what is the purpose of the ribs not extending all the way to the front of the KAC RAS handguards on the right and left sides?

Looking for Acog models used on A4s by the military. Mine is about done, minus an Acog and light.
If it has been discussed, could someone please point me to the appropriate thread? Thanks, |

TA31RCO-A4CP is the ACOG you seek. The reticle is calibrated for the A4's 20" barrel
