I have a cheely xwf frame so the only mounts that fit are the cheely ones. the akai mount fits the XWF with slight modification you just need to mill out a little around the holes you can do this in 30 mins with a hand file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Romeo 3 Max is about the same overall length and just the front contours are slightly different. It is "possible" but unlikely that you may need to clearance the blast shield a little at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakerjd Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Just got my 8 moa and fit it to a cheely mount. Very easy. Just had to file down a very little bit right where the front of the sight sits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to do the same to mine and since it's the off season I figured it might be a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludde Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 This is a adapter plate version I designed for a friends OR with the same type of optic. This keeps it a bit lower and further back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to do the same to mine and since it's the off season I figured it might be a good time. Hand filed with a small mechanics file. When looking at the optic mount surface on the cheely mount the front is round and then the ramp starts. I filed just a very little bit in front of the furthest forward part of the round part till it was flat with the mounting surface. Took me about 20 minutes but I went really slow and made sure not to accidentally file on the original mounting surface. Super easy though. I'll see if I can get a pic to load.

Bakerjd Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 I hope the pics help. It's really simple. I originally was just going to use a Brazos mount but it didn't fit the cut out in the frame for the mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am located in Europe so the overall cost to have it shipped from Europe to US with all related expenses might be high. If you are interested DM me.
