Picked up this manual for the M68 sight.
Attached File Has lots of good info on the CompM2 (or PRO). I picked up a set of the rubber bikini style lens covers on eBay and also bought a double battery adapter with strap from ADCO. Unfortunately the battery housing is not identical to what’s in the manual but it’s all I could find. I also tethered the sight and light with paracord. Attached File I also found some 5/8” round foam that works perfectly for filling the tubes on the SOPMOD stock so the batteries don’t slide around and make noise. Got the foam at ACE Hardware. I put the batteries in first then the foam piece then the cap. When you remove the cap you can shake the tube and the batteries will push the foam right out. Maybe this is well known, I didn’t know.

Never used that foam, but we used soft foam ear plugs instead. Same concept however.

Supposidly it increases your chances of baffle strikes using the spacer.

That said, if there is a strike it will NOT be caused by using a KAC spacer. Sounds like it should be good to go! Sorry for the confusion gents. |

I've got a question for the experts, I have 2 different QRP mounts for the M68 (CompM2) sight. One looks just like what is in the military manual for the sight and mount and has a shallow groove milled into the upper rear portion. I bought this as a military surplus mount in new condition. The other one does not have this shallow groove but is identical, including all other machining, in every other way to the first mount including the knob and other pieces. It came in a proper Aimpoint box and bag and was also advertised as military surplus. The finish is slightly darker on the second one. Was there 2 variations on this mount? The un-grooved second mount does not appear to be some knock-off Chinese junk and fits perfect on the rifle and the sight and is dimensionally correct as far as I can tell. I was using it till I discovered the difference after buying the manual so I found a new un-issued QRP mount and installed it but it fits and works the same.
Anybody know the story on these differences? @Combat_Diver The first QRP mount with shallow milled groove which matches most photos of the QRP mount: Attached File Second QRP without the shallow milled groove: Attached File |
