| ..the TA01NSN SF model, which comes standard with the mount (which IMO is a better value than the standard TA01). Is it really worth it? I was reading somewhere that the backup sight post is too far to the right on some of them.. |

Welcome to the boards. As to the backup sights on the NSN, no they are not worth it. However, there are places that make a mount that replaces the rear sight with a small dot sight such as the Dr Optic and these are much more usable. Trijicon even makes a version of the TA31 like this. |
Either one works and I think there's a third option as well. I just mentioned the Dr because trijicon is using it on the TA31-DOC. ETA: www.gandrtactical.com/trijicon.htm shows the TA31DOC and the TA01 with a JPoint |
| The TA01NSN was a good idea when SOCOM adopted it as part of the M4 SOPMOD package. Since then there have been better developments and the new standard is the TA31 model. I think its light years ahead of the NSN model. I had a NSN model on my M4 in Afghanistan in 2002 but if I had a choice it would be a TA31. |

MTRancher, When you had the TA01NSN Model on your M4 in Afganistan.....how were these marked ?...and where ? Were the Military purchased NSN models marked in the same location and information on the scope? (IE: Cast/raised letters/numbers on top/left-side/or ?....and what information ?). Photo(s) would help out a lot. Last, did they have the same standard open-sights on top as the TA01NSN Model they are selling now from TRIJICON ? Regards, RichardS. US Army, Retired.
