Mike,
I’d like to warn people about buying scope mounts from LaRue Tactical since you may well not get the one you need, and then they won’t do anything about it. When you spend $250.00 for a scope mount, it damn well be the one you needed, especially when you called and spoke to their rep before ordering.
If you could warn your readers, I think it would be a great service to them. Perhaps ask David to do the same. The story is in the below email stream.
The picture of my rife, scope mount and scope fitted and bore-sighted attached. As you can see, it has to go all the way up to the turret to get a decent eye relief. Also, I had to crank it all the way up to get it bore-sighted for 100 yards, leaving no more elevation for greater distances.
Before anyone buys a quick disconnect sight from LaRue Tactical, they better know exactly what they need to get because the reps at LaRue have no idea.
The shame is that I have previously purchased two other mounts for ACOGS for my other rifles from them. Still they have no interest in rectifying this situation.
Thanks,

The M4 EBR stock is based on the Navy SEAL EBR stock.

The SpecOps works off two springs and the main one can jump the pin in the receiver mount. There are no user repair parts so the stock is then FUBAR and good luck getting one from Black Hawk. Knoxx made a good product, damn shame who they sold it to. The transition of the recoil to the rear and back is smoother with the Mesa Tactical w/Endine Buffer. The Mesa Tactical will last the life of the weapon. I can not say that for the SpecOps.

1. I AM a better gunsmith than the average grunt, thank you for recognizing that fact.
2. “Bolt Swaps” are not authorized at the unit level, that is a depot repair.
3. No it isn’t, both rifles will average 11-13 pounds+ with a full compliment
4. 173 grain Match ammo is issued for both the SR25 and the M14 Scope Mounts, the ammunition is identical
5. I agree, haven’t found an effective scope platform for the M14 Scope Mounts rifle that compares to the excellence of the flattop Armalite receiver.
6. Extraction on ALL semi/full auto rifles gets weaker and weaker with repetitive cycles of the action, both the M14 Scope Mounts and the M16/SR25 systems are easily corrected at maintenance level.
7. The number of “doo hicky” parts are comparable on the SR25 and the M14 Scope Mounts.
Both systems require a tool to replace the extractor, a punch for the SR25 and a chamber brush and combo tool for the M14 Scope Mounts.
Both should have the springs and detents/pins replaced at the same time.
Break an op rod notch on M14 Scope Mounts, big problem!
–
: Both Norinco and Poly-Tech have made M14 Scope Mounts-type rifles. They are not exactly to spec on all parts, but the receivers are forged, and only need to be properly heat treated to be really nice receivers. Some shooters believe that the Chi-Com rifle parts are actually superior to the Springfield Armory, Inc. cast parts, but are still inferior to USGI parts. Q: Where do I grease my M14 Scope Mounts? A: Front of hammer, bolt lugs, inside of receiver heel, inside of operating rod guide, top of rear of operating rod, bolt roller. Basically, every shiney spot on the rifle, where the finish has worn off on the operating parts. However, NEVER grease the gas piston. It is designed to operate dry.
