My Scalerworks Aimpoint mount busted.

I guess (from what others posted) they were building a revised mount from scratch... then off to anodizing, etc.

Ah, okay. I remember that now. I'm curious to see what the new design will be.

New hinge... definitely beefed up.



Base is slightly differently shaped toward the rear, and the torque spec is laser by the fasteners.

That does look nicely improved. Also appears that the thumb wheel is larger, allowing for more torque when tightening.

New design looks like there’s more area to spread the load across. Hopefully it holds up over the long haul.

Actually the base and wheel are the same. It's just the phone camera angle that's making them look different. I was going to sell this mount since I already settle in on the factory thing. But I might try to find another Comp M3 or C3 and actually run the mount.

Naturally I have a pretty cool mount and no great options for an RDS. The PRO and CTOs are just serious pay cuts in an RDS and priced over $400. I dumped my PRO many years ago because of the shitty brightness settings. The primary arms 30mm sights are probably every bit the sight that the CTO and PRO are, but I have an psychological issue with using a sight that's cheaper than the mount.

^^^^saw this in the EE^^^^

Regarding the PRO, I’ve always found it to be an outstanding optic, and value for the money. The only reason I’ve moved away from them, is that my eyesight makes the dot turn into a spider web.

Thanks. I actually found an old PM from 3_AE here who sent me a link to a dealer who shows ML3 and M3s in stock. I sent them an email to confirm.

Send me a PM if they do, I’d love to find a NOS Comp M3.

Will do. It's bearbasin.net FYI. The site looks good, and shows non-availability on discontinued items. But I don't have history with them to know there not a Botac kind of dealer.
