I tried one on a 723 style AR and didn't like it. The further out you mount the sight, the larger the reticle becomes.

I have the Trijicon version, sorry but I forget which model it is, and it's mounted with the goos neck carry handle mount on my 652 and I like it a lot.
The Teijicons used to be able to be had very reasonably on the EE |

Same as Banshee. I've got a Trijicon on a gooseneck I've used on my 9mm a few times.

+1 on the trijicon on my A2 pistol. Was looking into the Mepro myself but the Trijicon is 1/2 the weight and about the same $

Mine ended up on my M4 style AR since the gooseneck didn't work out.

Reflex on my DOE:
A bit ungainly, I admit, but there isn't much that isn't ungainly atop a DOE. The Reflex is eventually bound to end up on my SOPMOD clone, but that'll be a bit yet before that's ready for it. |

That's the same one I have.
If you're looking for something that would work well on a 231 take a look at one of the ring sights that mounts in the carry handle groove. Like here http://www.ak47.net/forums/t_3_18/570826_Battery_free__budget_reflex_sight.html |

I need to do the fiber optic mod to them though. Edit: Heated |

Yeah, they kind of suck stock and my PS90 had the stock white one on it and I hated it so badly it never went to the range and I ended up selling it.
Thanks for heating the link, I was on a tablet
I just noticed I said 231 as well! See what I get for posting late at night and in bed. |

HA HA! I actually didn't even notice, because that ring sight is exactly what I've already got on my 231. . .

Is there a cheaper Meprolight? I swear I remember a less expensive version.
Also, the links in the Ring sight thread seem to go to "item not found" - am I missing something? |

It's an old thread, so those links go to old ebay auctions that don't exist anymore.
I haven't seen any of the Ring Sights fro sale recently, but the pop up now and then. Just have to keep your eyes peeled. |

Here's mine , have the X reticle. At 100 yds it pretty much covers the target but I sure didn't put it on there for bullseye competition.
When looking thru the irons, the X co-witnesses on the tip of the front sight post. When peering thru the optic, the X is floating above the front sight. Just make sure the post is in the general area under the X and squeeze the trigger. Check the Mako site before a big 3 day holiday, usually 25-30% off.

Hasn't moved since it as mounted, had to lean on the "thumbscrew lever" pretty hard to get it to be flush under the carry handle. Really doubt it will move unless you run it over with a truck.
I'll try to get close up pics of the mount area. Stay tuned....

Yes I have an IDF carbine m4/723 c7 upper with the m21 forward carry handle mount, triangle reticle. Mako has them 30% off 6pm-10pm today only. So it's $394 instead of $563.

All right, got the pics. These were the toughest I've dealt with, camera wasn't happy with focusing and one is still blurred. Anyway...
Side view of the locking system and a little of the mount in the top of the carry handle. 
Looking up to the underside of the carrying handle. The locking lever is the piece that isn't quite straight. 
This is the lever peeping out a bit. It took a lot of pressure to get it that far in so it isn't going to loosen unless ya hammer it. 
The blurred pic. This is how it mounts into the top of the carry handle, snug fit. 
Ya'll just keep in mind, this is a receiver that rumor control says is a DPMS so if you have something else, results may vary. |

Thanks for taking the time to post the pics hopefully at one point I can find a C7 type
receiver that isn't going for an arm and a leg if not I'll get an A2. Thanks again. |
