Thinking about mounting a scope on my M1A.  I like the looks of the CASM mount.
CASM Mount.
Anyone have any experience with this mount, or give me your recommendations for others.

ARMS 18









I have the old one (top). When I QD my scope, it's like it isn't even there.

Over 1k rounds over the past 8-9 years and it's pie.

Currently I have a 3rd Gen Springfield Armory scope mount. I would love to own the Sadlak "Airborne" Steel Mount, though.

Another vote for Sadlak.  

I considered the CASM but I don't like that it completely eliminates the rear iron sight.

Basset Machine. Have an Arms, Sadlack airborn and a few others kicking around. BOTH of mine are sitting with Bassets on them right now. Return to zero close enough to shoot clay pigeons at 400 yards all day. I like being able to use mine as a battle rifle or a scoped rifle when ever I want. The #1 reason I went with Basset.

The CASM does have a fixed rear peep sight.

If you can't live with replacing the original rear sight, then SEI & SADLAK are excellent alternatives.

Hmm no one has recommended the mount I use.  I use the Smith Enterprises mount.  Has always worked well for me.   I generally find things that say US Property and have an NSN number generally do work well...Ooops sorry I see H20 did mention the SEI.  Besides being US Military approved and used what I like about the SEI is that it not only leaves my sights alone, but I can still use them with the scope attached.  You have to get down snug on the cheek pad but it's doable.

I currently have a Sadlak steel airborne lightweight FS in the EE. Great mount, just won't work with my EBR. As much as I love this mount, i don't want to mod the mount or handguard on the ebr to fit. I've found a recon-x will suffice my purpose.

For collectors, the classic is the Brookfield Precision mount with "U.S. Property" marking.

The Sadlak is identical to the classic Brookfield Precision except that it has a standard Picatinny rail (regularly-spaced transverse slots versus the irregularly-spaced slots of the Brookfield).

The Sadlak is actually superior to the Brookfield for that reason, although it doesn't have as much collector value.

When searching for mine I looked hard at them all. Ended up with an ARMS mainly do to price.

It fits perfect and locks down tight. Many rounds later and no problems. I'd recommend it.
