The only occasional downside to the Matech is that the sight arm retainer/"bump" gets worn down with use to where eventually the sight arm stays in the up position all the time, though you can re-stake the bump to get it to work for a while. |

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.

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.)

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. |
