| I have an AR with the A2 carry handle. I trying to figure out the best way to mount an aimpoint. Should I mount it to the carry handle (will this cause zeroing problems)? Any other suggestions would be welcome. Thanks |

You can get these items from Donnie at [url]www.sableco.net[/url] or search the equipment exchange. Mike |

Other than my covers folding [b]down and flat[/b] (out of my field of vision) this is how mine mounts on my fixed handle M4. I also prefer the Aimpoint Quick Release Mount to the ARMS #22. Quice release are the key words. We have to wear gloves much of the year. Mounting as far forward as possible makes target acquisition and transition easier. -- Chuck |
| I recently E-mailed aimpoint and asked them If a person mounted there ML2 or ML model up to 3 inches above barrel if the unit could still be sighted in. THey said yes, what do you guys think? I told them I was going to use a ultralux mount from DPMS and they said It would work just fine. INPUT? |

The Aimpoint Quick Release mount will allow you to use the iron sights, that's how it's designed. On a flattop you'll need the M4 Spacer (should be in the box). Over the handguards (as in the photo) with the ARMS #39A2Plus or Aimpoint Forward Mount you just use the mount with no spacer. -- Chuck |
| The throw lever is true quick release as you don't have to keep turning a knob, plus the lever doesn't stick out to the side as much and get gert into threads, etc.The lever also is easier to work with gloves as you don't have to try and grab a wet or icy knob with gloves, the lever is much easier to just catch and give a good pull. The Aimpoint ring locks you out of going to other set up's as it has no abillity to have an ajustment of ht. spacer. Good Shootin, Jack |

KEEP IN MIND THAT THE TYPE OF FOREND USED IS ALSO A FACTOR. THE ARMS #39A2 WILL NOT CLEAR M4 HANDGUARDS. THE P.R.I. HI-RISE GOOSENECK WILL. OPTIMALLY, BOTH SHOULD BE USED WITH THE ARMS #22M68. BTW, I FLIP MY LENS COVERS DOWN, AS WELL. WE CARRY THE AIMPOINT, ARMS, AND P.R.I. LINES, AND PRESENTLY HAVE ALL OF THIS FINE EQUIPMENT MENTIONED ABOVE IN STOCK. WES GRANT [URL]MSTN.BIZ[/URL] |

As everyone says, either a "goose-neck" (bi-level) type mount or a standard carry handle mount will work. The big difference is in the scope position. If you find that you have to cant your head over to get to the iron sights then the higher sightline that the standard carry handle mount offers could be easier for you. On the other hand, if you would need to stretch your head up to get to a sightline that is above the iron sights then the gooseneck would be better. |
