| Got a new Aimpoint M2 on the way for my Bushy M4A2. I have the ARMS #39A2 gooseneck mount, and am going to forward mount the sight so I can co-witness with my irons. What is my best option for a quick release ring ount for the Aimpoint? I am thinking the ARMS, but wanted you guys' advice. Thanks!! |

The ARMS is not quick release. The Aimpoint [b]Quick Release[/b] mount is -- you guess it -- quick release. And is what's issued with these sights in the Army, Either mount will work. ARMS lever mounts gives up quick release for a bit less bulk. I use and highly recommend the Aimpount QR mount on the #39A2Plus rail on my old M4. Email me is you want a photo, I've no clue how to put one here. -- Chuck |

The term "quick release" wan't defined by using a stopwatch gents. It generally refers to a fairly quickly removed mount with no need of ant tools. The 22M68 is an exceptional mount, with great return-to-zero performance. So what if it takes 4-5 seconds to remove the mount? I'd certainly call that quick release. CMOS |

Quoted: I must be confused, I always thought that I could pull a lever faster than turning a thumb nut. One thing I do know is that #22M68 rings are in sevice and preferred over turning any thunb nut. Jack My #22/M68 is very tight, in return it takes a lot of force to get the lever moving, but it is still faster then turning the thumbscrew on the Aimpoint mount. |

I went with the Aimpoint QRP w/spacer, served me well and i didnt exactly baby my M4. Repeatedly taken off and mounted again over a period of time, kept zero. Was to me at the time the fastest option to get, if id live in the U.S. i might have opted for something else but the Aimpoint mount gets to complaints from me.
