Aimpoints

[EDinFL]

The dot is not visable but the lens is. Buy the flashkill for the front lens and you will be OK.

Does the flashkill fit all aimpoints? In particular will it fit my M3?

yes, it should

FJB's comments above are as usual, accurate and correct in every respect.

What sort of factory mount comes with the C3, and how does it compare, in terms of height, to the mounts that put the irons in the lower 1/3?

[Mike729]

Rob, I believe the "default" mount is a low mount, that's why I have it on the 556 for now. I have a 2MOA C3. The flip-up lens & rubber covers were included in the deal (bought barely used).

So this thing?

You got it! I think you won't even bother taking that mount of of the box

I'm going to order one of the American Defense mounts and migrate the Aimpoint C3 to an AR soon.

I beg to differ about the aimpoint dot not being visible from the front. On the higher settings, both of my aimpoint show red glow from the front. It is slight, but it is still there.

Supertac,
Which Aimpoint sights are you using and are they adjusted to an appropriate setting for low light/night use. All CompM sights meet MilSpec standards regarding visibility of the red dot from front. Again that is with the red dot adjusted appropriately (low visible setting) for low light/night use. If it is turned up to "the higher" settings the red dot signature from the front does increase, but it would be a by product of poor training and TTPs to use red dot sights in a low light environment at those "higher" settings.

EDinFL,
The ARD Kill Flash will fit all CompM and ML sights (except the ML 2X) and the C3 (except the C3 2X) as it screws into the front objective lens housing.

And the switch. No you are not stupid. It is easy to say that the Comp M4 is the toughest optic (electronic or otherwise) made. Just ask FJB about the insane stuff he does to them. Flash-bang anyone? I have personally abused the M4 in ways that would make you puke, and FJB, always one-up’s me when it comes to sadistic treatment of equipment.
