If not, there are better options. A few years back, dealers received surplus PVS-30's in various conditions (used to pretty much new old stock). These were priced around $4,000+, so they're a steal compared to $10,000+ PVS-22's! The price has increased, since they sold out long ago, but deals can still be found on ebay, gunbroker and the forums, every now and then. View Quote |

An older US Optics scope is now clone correct? Is the index pin for the suppressor on the barrel still there or did it break off or fall out? Also if anyone is looking for a suppressor for the Mk13 Mod 7 there is a few up for sale over on the Hide. |

Might not be labeled US optics but it's defiantly a US optics designed and made scope.
It's just private labeled for Horus because in the beginning they didn't have many scope manufacturers willing to put there reticle in there scopes nor did they have any of there "own" scope line. They relied on (at the time) current scope manufacturers to put the reticle in. Back many years ago US optic was truly a custom scope manufacturer. They had a BUNCH of options to choose from. Color's, knob configurations and boat load of reticles to choose from. |

It's a pretty nice scope, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if it's a rebranded USO. |

USO didn't build all of Horus's scopes. That one pictured with his kit is.
I believe Hakko of Japan did some of the later ones. |

So, yes, it definitely removes the paint from the underside of the picatinny rail. However, if you keep the mount in the same place, you'll never see the damage. Since the Cadex mount was never used on the M40A6, I'd suggest going a different route. I actually use a Badger Ordnance USMC Unimount on my A6 (the Larue mount and NF scope are on my Mod 7, I just threw them on the A6 for a few pics). The A6 mount contract was pretty much between Badger and Larue, with the latter ultimately winning it. Long story short, but the Corps kept changing the requirements for the solicitation; I personally think that they wanted the Larue mounts from the beginning. What really sealed the deal for Larue was the quick detach levers, which the Corps wanted for whatever fucking reason (literally no need for QD levers on this gun). I can't remember 100%, but I think Badger Ordnance made 10 or 12 of these mounts for the Corps to evaluate. I ended up getting 2 or 3 of them from Marty right after that contract was awarded, so maybe 5 or 6 years ago. I doubt they have any left, but you might want to try calling or emailing Badger Ordnance to see if they have any tucked away somewhere. Since they only made a handful and the years have gone by, it would be a very small chance they'd still have any. Never hurts to ask though. Your other option is just to buy a regular Unimount that's the same specs and just use that. Hell, you could probably have someone laser engrave "USMC" on it, get it refinished and it would be a perfect stand-in for the real deal! The "M" at the end of the part number stands for Marines, as you guys have probably already guessed. I'm not sure how the Unimounts are marked, but if they have a part number on them there might be room to engrave the "M" as well. I personally like the Badger Ordnance mount better that the Larue mount. Badger makes extremely high quality products and this mount is no exception. And it doesn't fuck up the paint on my over priced Remington chassis! I actually have another one of these mounts on my A6 clone, I'm kinda surprised none of you eagle eyed clone nerds asked about it, lol. Here it is again: |

I have to confess. I actually did notice the amount. I saw it on my phone and didn’t zoom in. I thought it was a knights mount. I also thought if it’s on his rifle. It’s on there for a reason. Need glass for my m40a6 bad. Someday

View Quote I've been on the phone with Surefire regarding the FA762SVs specifically (and I imagine the same would apply to the FA762SS as well)... They basically told me that they can make them, but the demand has to be there for it. Right now, there simply isn't enough demand. The reality is that nobody outside of the cloning community (which isn't as big as you think) is interested in legacy suppressors like that. The government is a completely different story, as they still make them for government contracts - talking about the commercial side here. In other words, yes, if we can somehow persuade them to do a run (I don't know what their minimum number would be), then maybe it's possible. Of course, none of this goes anywhere unless we all email and/or call Surefire and ask them to do it. Even then, it isn't a guarantee, but it's certainly better than sitting around "hoping" they might do it one day. |

Just got off the phone with Surefire.
So, the guy I talked to in sales told me they're never coming back - those were his words. He said they actually get a lot of requests to release the FA762SSs (for M40 clones), but he said they still won't do it - just too much involved in re-tooling for older tech suppressors that are out-dated and outclassed (in this case) by the 762-RC2. Again, his words. Not sure if another salesperson would have anything different to say. |
