    I'd like to make a suggestion. The set-up looks nice, but you've taken an option away from yourself that was unnecessary. You took off probably the best aperture sight system made when you didn't have to. There are stripper clip guide adapters that give you a short rail section that would work with the 3x optic you have, without sacrificing your iron sights. I've been armorer for over 22 years along with being a weapons instructor for a bit longer. I know there are a lot of people with the opinion that iron sights are surplus, but everybody that has ever run a gun long enough learns the hard way that they aren't. If your optic gets damaged, your rifle is a brick. For most applications, that's not a big deal, but the deficit created isn't necessary. Your thought process on your overall capability is sound, I'm just asking you to consider returning a permanent sighting option to your rifle. Run the iron sights for a while and you might find that you could get the 5x optic instead for extending your range. For most people, your going to stay minute of man with your irons for a greater distance than you think.

    • @CaptainAhorn
      @CaptainAhorn 2 месяца назад

      You forgot about eye relief. No way will this optic be usable another two inches forward. Now, a simple aperture backup sight that replaces the stripper clip guide would be a nice addition. The “Greatest irons ever made” argument isn’t relevant. Optics bring capabilities that irons can’t, no matter how good they are. The M1a is obsolescent compared to almost any other .308 battle rifle (even its contemporaries like the FAL and G3) in large degree because mounting optics is such a pain in the ass. This mount provides the correct eye relief and scope height while cutting out weight and bulk of traditional big steel bridge mounts, which makes it a positive for the platform. The M1a’s sights might be kickass on the KD range with black targets on white backgrounds, shot by eagle-eyed 18-year olds. Every other situation needs an optic, and the smaller and lighter the solution the better.

    • @Cmoth040
      @Cmoth040 2 месяца назад

      @@CaptainAhorn the M1a being obsolete is a preference, based on specific criteria. I happen to agree as far as design, but I disagree in matters of overall performance. Technically, it's the .308/7.62 nato cartridge that is the limitation. The sights themselves, a rear aperture using a front post is used on every other weapon you listed, just with variations in how they're adjusted. The optic eye box issue is easily solved with minimal effort. You don't have to do any of it. My post was a suggestion to avoid losing a sighting option based on nearly 40 years of using the systems, not a knock on the rifle or the optic.

    • @CaptainAhorn
      @CaptainAhorn 2 месяца назад

      @@Cmoth040 It’s not a “preference” that it’s a huge pain to mount optics on the M1a, it’s a reality. Nor is it a “preference” that optics are a massive advantage on a rifle. And most M1a optics mounting solutions make an already heavy rifle even heavier. The .308 is a limitation in that, as the Ukraine war is proving once again, the intermediate cartridge was the right decision for the right reasons which are still valid today. This was learned in WW1 but ignored, then re-learned in WW2 and mostly ignored again. That’s really nothing to do with the sight setup. I own an M1a. It’s an historical curiosity. I also own a couple of AR10s and there is literally no comparison between what you can do with them and what you can do with the M1a. The “greatest iron sights ever argument” is a lost cause, and even then the A2 sight is every bit as good. You don’t need Camp Perry sights on a combat rifle, you need simple “A1” backup sights in case the optic goes down or is degraded by conditions. In most other extant battle rifle designs (especially AR10s) you can run backup irons without really interfering with your ability to mount optics or adding excess weight. Not so with the M1a, where the obsolete open-top action requires a heavy and bulky steel bridge mount. Then you run into the M1a’s obsolete drop-stock which doesn’t play well with the very high bridge mount, requiring a cheek riser to make the optic usable, adding yet more cost and weight. So again, if there’s a solution for the M1a that gets an optic into the proper eye relief and height at minimal weight and bulk, that is a positive for the platform. But still, get an AR10. Yes, there is “an easy way” to fulfill these criteria - it’s by replacing the rear sight with an optic mount. There are other mounts out there that replace the rear with a micro RDS, also an advantage and a good reworking of an obsolete design.
