Broncman Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 I did use a Dawson blast sheild. Got to take a ball end mill and put a concave radius on the underside of the overhang above the thumbrest. Offsets the CMore .225" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjwalt666 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 That came out great. Did you make the thumb rest also?Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where exactly did you mill the radius and why?And why does the mount require an offset?There is so much I don't know about CMore optics mounting.

Broncman Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 The Blast sheild is the angle piece in front of the CMore to sheild the lens from the muzzle blast and gasses from the ports. Right above the thumbrest, you will see the edge of the mount sticks out a little all the way down the length of the scope base. Radiused that so it would be easier on my thumb. When shooting 9 Major, they are infamous for ejection issues and setting the sight over to the side gives you more room for ejection so cases do not hit the bottom of the mount.

robert.a.brewer. Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Thanks Broncman. I learned a lot I priced the CZ OEM CM mount at $150; no wonder you made your own. Did you make the thumb rest also? Good work, looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncman Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 Thumbrest is from the old Dawson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert.a.brewer. Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Broncman, If I may ask one more thing, why go with the Slideride instead of say the CMore RTS/STS2? -Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncman Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 I like the bigger window of the slide ride and the first major match I attended shooting CO I watched 2 of the RTS2's die midmatch. Too expensive for the reliability issues o have saw. I would run my Vortex before an RTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the CzechMate mount and Slideride don't fit the TSO. It doesn't clear the top of the slide. I don't have the tools to do what you did.Thanks for your help.

Darthrader18 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Very cool ,I wish more companies would offer a mount with thrumb rest. Im not a fan on how much the thumb rest can stick out from the side of the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncman Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Thanks guys! Shot my first falling steel match today! Had a blast. So fun having a pistol that runs! No issues since the new mount (and ejector). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastcat Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Nice. I was about to do the same, but just bought the Cheely Side Mount for my Cmore. How important is the red dot in relation to the center bore? If the CMore is off the center line of the Barrel by 1/8". Would that cause an offset left/right at a longer distance?

Broncman Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 The offset makes very little difference at the distances we shoot . The vertical offeset from the bore makes more of a difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vertical offeset from the bore makes more of a difference! Exactly. At longer / shorter distances it may make a bullet hit a bit left or right, but we aren't shooting Bullseye competitions. The vertical offset can mean several inches shift in POA / POI between 1 yard and 25 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 By not being in line with the bore, the optical axis crosses the bore line at only the zero point. This would kinda suck with a long distance rifle but with a pistol, it is negligible. See the estimate below for a 20 yard zero. This error would be covered by even a 1 MOA dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
