    Wow. That latch looks HUGE. I'd like to see the mount next to an ADM and LT.

    That latch looks HUGE
    Appearances can be decieving. Its only .125 wider than the Larue throw lever
    and .20 wider than the ADM lever. When mounted it is still narrower than the rail
    profile, shell deflector etc..

    Give me a minute and I will take a comparison picture...

    Here is a quick ( excuse the poor quality ) comparison image.



    Granted they aren't both CompM4 bases, but it shows the relative size nonetheless.

    Do you have one in the works for m2/m3 models as well.

    Also is there still enough room on the rail to mount a 3/4x magnfier with mount and still be able to have BUIS?

    Product looks great!


    Thanks

    Since the internals are a bit more complex than a clamp or cam, it was determined early
    on that real world dust, dirt, sand exposure was in order. To that end, I spent a weekend
    abusing the Bobro Aimpoint CompM4 mount at my favorite 120 acre getaway. Testing
    included everyday as well as worst case scenario exposure to mother nature. Although my
    primary focus was the operational capabilities of the throw lever when inundated with
    sand, I also spent considerable time running drills to determine if the lever would become
    a snag point when geared up.

    Image 1: My loadout



    • TAG Multicam Plate Carrier
    • 2 x EMDOM Multicam 6o4 Pistol Pouches
    • 4 x EMDOM Multicam double M4 Pouches
    • 1 x TAG Multicam Strobe Pouch
    • GEAR SECTOR GS-2P Dark Earth sling
    • DD-15 Carbine equipped with Aimpoint CompM4 in Bobro BLAC mount

    • All internals and all moving components have been thoroughly packed with sand.
      Obviously this is the worst case scenario and not likely to occur naturally. However, I
      felt it necessary to perform this test to determine if complete compaction would be the
      failure point. It wasn't.


    Image 4: Mount re-installed after sand compaction.



    • There was so much sand on the bottom side of the mount that it wouldn't even consider
      engaging the rail. However, a single, brisk smack on the palm of my hand cleared the rail
      channel enabling the mount to seat on the upper. Even with the internals completely
      packed with sand, the mount clamped shut effortlessly.

    • Yours truly.

      I apologize for the lack of action photos or video footage, but I was on my own with
      nothing more than a tripod, camera and internal timer. Not exactly ideal for catching
      motion. That said, I ran numerous drills, even configured the mount with the lever
      inboard and facing forward as an intentional snag point. Short of stuffing the sling
      under the lever on purpose, I couldn't get the mount to hang up on any of my gear.

    JTrusty,

    Thankyou for not showing the flip side of your carbine and rubbing it in....



    Very nice, there isn't much question about it passing the sand test.

    Very, very interesting design.... Wonder if a 3X magnifier mount is in the works?

    looks like a nice mount, I would like to see some of the newer mount companies come out with full size ACOG mounts.
