GunCat Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 We have drilled / tapped quite a few guns including M2s for Weaver, Picatinny and custom type optic bases. The rear section of the M2 receiver is thick enough to securely hold most optic mounts. Sumtoy (and maybe others) make custom bases that set a Fastrife and similar dots lower on the receiver that rail mounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at using the Marlin rifle base in this link. We have installed that mount system on several hunting guns.

CharlieD Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Send the receiver to Primary Machine and have them mill it for a dot. It’s really the only way to get an optic low enough to get a good cheek weld. I really like the circle dot reticle of the holosun 507c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieD Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Send them an email, but I believe it’s around $200. It’s done properly, and I have a true return to zero when I remove it and remount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting....Does the machined out area leave 2 post to set the Dot on to, and have a radius on the front of the cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to both. Primary Machine is known for their precise optic cuts. I know the guys there well enough to know that they would not do something unless they could do it right.

mscott Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I’ll second the Speed Bead Burris mount. Have had it for several years and never a problem. It’s easy to install, puts the dot low, is reversible, and doesn’t cost much money. Really nothing to not like about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
