tinman1975 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I have been out of the loop for a while because I have never felt the need to mount an optic on my m4. Fast forward to current politics in California and the recent assault weapons ban going into effect. I am feeling like I do not want to use a carbine for HD anymore. That being said, what is the best solution currently for mounting an aimpoint t-1 micro? I remember there being issues with the benelli rail not being in spec, and mil spec rails are out of stock from freedom fighter tactical. As far as I know, Kip hasn't produced any rails lately. I know people like different optics for their shotgun, but I do not want to buy another optic....I simply wanna remove the aimpoint from my rifle and place on my M4. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVATactical.com Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) If you can't get a kip rail, what about changing the mount on the aimpoint? That said, Scalar is going to offer a new rail.. Edited November 28, 2016 by AVATactical.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman1975 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'm gonna have to change the mount anyways, because I have the larue high mount already. I have seen the fairly new Midwest industries mount, but haven't seen any reviews or opinions on it.....I am a little skeptical that it goes from 5 screws to only 2 screws holding the mount to the receiver. But I am totally accepting that I will have to get a new mount....I just don't know which ones will work with the out of spec rail, or if there are others that actually replace the rail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVATactical.com Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I think the factory aimpoint mount is crossbolt style. Any cross bolt style will work. Laeue is the exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman1975 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Ah....of course I bought my micro as a package deal from larue which included their mount and NOT the aimpoint mount hehe. So something like the LRP Mount? I think the conversion kit assumes you already have the low mount.....I will have o se if I can just get the low mount separately Edited November 29, 2016 by tinman1975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calviroman Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 If you're running a "full length of pull" i.e. 14"ish LOP stock such as the OEM PG stock or field stock, I'd go w/ the MI mount. If you're running a C-stock in the middle position or a similar reduced LOP stock (i.e. 12" LOP) then I'd go with an in spec Pic rail plus the LT short QD mount.

tinman1975 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Yeah another awesome thing about California is I am not allowed to rock the collapsible stock either:(. I am currently running a field stock because I shoot sporting clays and the field stock is most consistent with my usual " mounting" of the gun for point and shooting. I like the looks of the MI mount....I just wish there were more reviews on the durability of the 2 screw mounting system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortec MAX Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I am running a T-1 on my M4 using the new Midwest Industries low profile mount that allows you to co-witness the stock sights. I have liked the mount so far. I had a thread on the mount here: Midwest Industries Aimpoint T1-T2 Mount for M4 Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
