I want to know everyone's opinion on this. Im not LEO / Military just your regular weekend warrior. im not going to be diving underwater with my m16.

My wish list is an aimpoint ML3 with Larue LT150 mount

Can I use the C3 instead? looks similar, sized similar except for water resistance and temperature resistance everything looks alright.. any other difference I missed? I think LT150 would work on this since it's a 30mm tube right?

Unless you are submersing the optic below 15 feet, the C3 is fine for most regular guys and cops. Buy the C3, spend the money you saved on ammo and training.

I agree with your thoughts. However, the C3 is getting hard to find with all the newer versions coming out...

Get the C3, it does just about everything the M3/ML3 does.

Grant (G&R Tactical) has them in stock last time I looked.

yes i don't go diving with my rifle.

so physically it looks the same?
glass quality?
does it also have the scope flip up covers like the ML2/ML3?
Holds zero as well?
Physically can you tell the difference aside from markings?

The C3 is a fantastic deal. We also offer M4C members discounts on them.

well... it's really a hard choice for me I was already going to buy the comp ML3 w/ larue lt150 or lt 129 mount ( I just like the look of the cantilever. no real purpose just CDI factor ) but the C3 made me think again.

2nd... I live in the Philippines. Im gona have to ask somebody from the U.S. to buy the stuffs for me and ship it over..... and lastly... looks like OBAMA won. should I get more pmags?

unless somebody here offers to sell me thier Comp ML3
