The 7.62 NATO/.308 round is a fantastic, hard hitting, long shooting cartridge, and really benefits from having optics to guide it. Features include a top rail that locks into the charger guide dovetail, a side plate locking point, a horizontal bottom guide, and an adjustable side screw. It comes with a 15-slotted top rail and over 6-inches of compatible Picatinny space. No matter if you do it yourself or have the fitting done by a qualified gunsmith, putting the best M1A scope mount on your rifle will be a rewarding experience and expand the potential of your rifle. This sniper mount offers versatile and user-friendly features.
#LRB M14 SCOPE MOUNT INSTALL#
A person with basic mechanical aptitude should be able to install an M1A mount fairly easily, but the work involved should be kept in mind before purchasing a scope mount. At this point, it may be easier to pay a gunsmith to do the work in order to ensure the most precise fit. You may not be able to easily do the work yourself, at a minimum you will need a punch, a set of screwdrivers and a mallet. Once you fit a mount to a rifle, it’s going to be mated to that individual gun. Installing a good mount requires removing the stripper clip guide on the rifle’s receiver, fitting the mount to the slot, and then locking the mount in place with set screws. The problem with scoping an M1A rifle has always been you have to match the mount to the rifle. And for those who need more, there are higher end mounts out there. But other mounts are still based off of proven military designs and will function quite nicely for nearly all of us. The Sadlak Industries M1A scope mount is by far the best out there, and built to higher specs and for much more demanding use than nearly all of us would ever put their rifle to. Now, of course, not all M1A scope mounts are made equal. Fortunately, the science and basic technology behind scoping the M1A rifle is well-proven so we are blessed with a plethora of similar performing scope mounts. Any effort to scope them has always involved specially built and fitted scope mounts. You see, this rifle was never built to take a scope as issued. It is a testimony to American ingenuity and cleverness that we even have scope mounts for the M1A and M14 style rifles. Based off of time proven and reliable designs, and capable of taking both Weaver rings and Picatinny rail accessories, if you are looking for an affordable, proven and rugged scope mount for your M1A or similar rifle, then look no further.

Like all M1A mounts, this will require a bit of individual fitting to your rifle, but the adjustable locking screws allow for a more precise hand fit than other competing mounts. Designed with four locking points for optimal performance, the UTG New Generation is one of the best four point M1A scope mounts you can get.
