Will this work with the Samson FTS mount? http://www.samson-mfg.com/mm5/mercha...IMPOINT_MOUNTS

How do I order with the "twist mount"?

Thanks,
Richard

well I just got mine in the mail the other day, great product, even came w/t a good reproduction of the aimpiont destructions. only problem I see so far is in the mount, two little springs under that lever, if you leave the 3x off, those springs can fall off, I am going to drill a small hole and put a small split pin in to stop the lever from flipping all the way up. but overall It is pretty cool.

I have the same problem, the 3x mag works great - but the twist mount springs just fall out

I stripped the screws just trying to get the mag in, they almost look like they aren't long enough. With out the mag in they tighten just fine, ended up putting into a different 30mm ring set.

Apart from the front spring falling out which I solved with a drop of fishin glue in the hole it sits in, the mount fit the mag just fine.

freewheelin4eva · November 6th, 2007, 23:25

on mine the scope was a little tight, had to press it into the lower portion of the mount and then I was able to start the screws, once they were all started, everything pulled down nicely. also two pieces of electrical tape between the mount and the scope took out the very slight wobble.
The glue would work, quick fix I guess, still want to make it so the lever does not just flip all the way up and flop around.

I have used Fishin glue when I modified my sons Nerf Longshot, to hold a brass breach system. Basically glue a plastic nub to the brass with glue and 1000shots later is still holding strong.

My aimpoint magnifier came in the mail today. I must say im very impressed. The build is top notch quality all around(real steel quality in a matter of fact). the mount is pretty decent too. the only drawback is the ring screws are a little short, but you can go to a hardware store , buy some longer allen head screws, and easily fix that problem. I used my A.R.M.S QD mount setup for the aimpoint instead. This is a great product for the price.

dodger_me · November 15th, 2007, 20:46

That is like the real one, When you put the mount on it covers that up.... you cant mount to the rubber....

stag6.8 · November 15th, 2007, 21:33

wangstang, mine was exposed just like in the picture....

stag6.8 · November 15th, 2007, 21:40

Just to let every body know, this aimpoint is going on a real steel rifle (stag arms 6.8 spc caliber AR-15). I`ll post a review on how the magnifier performs as well as pics very soon.

Hk-GUY · November 16th, 2007, 05:29

All of the Aimpoint replicas have the foward portion exposed. Only the real ones have the rubber on the ends.

huang · November 16th, 2007, 23:46

The flip mount should be available before Christmas. However I have to made a decsion about the diameter of the replica mount. Either we make the mount 2mm bigger than the real one to fit the magnifier clone or people have to trim the rubber cover which seems not easy. Any suggestion?

stag6.8 · November 17th, 2007, 01:15

I assume you`re referring to the larue mount setup...id go with trimming the rubber for the real ones and hopefully after the rubber has been trimmed...It`ll fit the clone.....or better yet make a samson mount where you use the 4 screws on the bottom of the aimpoint eliminating the problem of the diameter of the tube fitting in the mount. Build the riser samson mount version so it can rise equal to both a aimpoint (using a cantilever mount or riser mount) or eotech scope.
