My Scalerworks Aimpoint mount busted.

[Straight Shooter]

One of the IG/FB gun dudes who name I cant now recall, just a couple days posted pics of his broken mount like that...said it was the second one & he is DONE with that brand.
If I think of his name Ill update.
UPDATE: Mac at Military Arms Channel.

SW mounts are a poor design all around. I’ve been saying it for a good while now. People will find out as I did…

i am a fan of the scalarworks products. have a T1, and MRO mount and their peak irons. waiting to buy their flip ups. as for their tube optic mounts this was an original concern that the consumers found out about. i know they updated some of their hinges and have seen two new ones break. One was unsure about how it broke but the other was being mounted right in front of me. This was about a two weeks ago. I really wanted one for my new lpvo set up but i will be giving my money to another company until this really does get fixed.

When I was selecting a new red dot sight and mount, I strongly considered a Scalarworks LEAP with an Aimpoint Comp M5. For whatever reason my Marine/Caveman spidey senses told me that my stupid ass would end up breaking the mount somehow because that is what happens when I buy anything that is more complicated than necessary.

So I bought a Geissele mount for the Comp M5 instead, because it's as simple as a mount can be made.

Scalarworks updated the hinge design. Contact them and they’ll replace the mount with the updated stronger hinge design.

Really? That would be great. I'm a lower 1/3 fan to answer vandal5's question.

They’re as bomb-proof as you can make a Micro mount too. WAY overbuilt for what’s bolted to it, but they are the best.

I was eyeballing Geissele as a replacement yesterday. Pappabear gave me one for my Romeo 5, and it's solid.

If Scaler truly will replace this, I'll use the replacement. The pic rail interface seems fine to me.

Looks like Scalar is going to take care of the situation. I just have to get them a pic and sku, etc.

I can’t say much about the product or design but it’s a good investment to purchase adjustable or fixed torque limiter’s and tighten to manufacturers specs
