My Scalerworks Aimpoint mount busted.

UPDATE: Mac at Military Arms Channel.

Isn't that the same dude who demanded payment if a company wanted a good review ($5-10k)? Isn't he the dude who owns a gun shop, but pretends he is just some guy trying to help people while he works on these videos all alone? Or am i confusing with with some high class individual milking the public?

I know this can't be the same guy who was enlisted (enlisted is awesome by the way) but pretended he was a full USMC COLONEL?!?!!? He got shirts made, wore the rank and everything. Then he got called out on it and passed it off saying he was a "KY Colonel" and everyone knows what he means. Totally blaming the viewers for believing what he told them? Please tell me we aren't talking about the same person, because that would be obscene.

This is why I almost NEVER watch gun videos on Youtard. I'm not trying to give views/revenue to beat offs who don't deserve it.

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

I don't totally disagree. But clearly this was a weakness in the original design that apparently Scalar has improved.

Folks that make 30mm Aimpoint mounts that I'm aware of:

• ADM: https://www.admmfg.com/aimpoint-m68-mount
• KAC: https://www.knightarmco.com/12899/sh...rward-offset-k
• Wilcox: https://tnvc.com/shop/wilcox-aimpoint-comp-m-mount/
• Bobro: https://www.bobroengineering.com/Aim...ount_p_74.html
• KDG: https://kineticdg.com/product/sidelo...ic-c3-comp-m4/
• Geissele: https://geissele.com/super-precision...unt-black.html
• LaRue: https://www.larue.com/products/larue...2-mount-lt150/
• Midwest Industries: https://www.midwestindustriesinc.com...p/mi-qd68c.htm
• GDI Engineering: https://bravocompanyusa.com/gdi-cmc5...l-sight-mount/

One can also use any CompM4 mount when used in combination with this ring: https://aimpoint.us/aimpoint-30mm-to...compm4-series/

Great info. Thank you. Both Geissele and KAC look great.

I feel a bit conflicted about QD mounts in general. I like the idea of QD and tool-less function, yet don't use it that often.

That's one of the things that drew me to the Scalar. It's not QD, but it is tool-less.

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

When did this "update" take place? I am wondering if I have the original or updated version. I have several SW products, I have returned two rear PEAK sights due the bearings/springs in the rear aperture that choked and were replaced with new ones.

Apparently some people have gained value from a list of 30mm RDS mounts, so I’ll add one that I liked.

No. It's not that guy.

It's the guy who bought an entire imported supply of rifles and then jacked the prices up as he was now the sole supplier.

I'm with markm. It's absolutely incredible how obsessed people are with youtube gun guys.

Q: Your bio says that you are an Armed Citizens United board member, NRA member, Oath Keeper and are commissioned as a Colonel by the Governor of Kentucky. Which of these activities are you most active? Care to talk about any of them?

A: I joined up with Armed Citizens United mostly because I felt other gun rights groups weren’t doing all they could to defend against the constant encroachment on our rights. None of the other big groups wanted to fight to repeal the NFA or to take a no compromise position on our rights.

I maintain my membership in the NRA because it is the largest of the pro-gun groups, however I find myself disenchanted with them often times. But, I support them through the good times and the bad.

The Oath Keepers is something I believe in very strongly and I urge all military, LEO’s and Firefighters to join them. If you don’t know who they are, or what they stand for, check them out on the web at http://oathkeepers.org/oath/.

Not a 100% sure of exact time frame but fairly certain after 2018 for the OP's mount.
