sinnsyk Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I got a mount from Derek and it can be cut and re-drilled to fit the Tanfo. There's enough room. He doesn't make one w/o holes so order the 1911 style and cut/drill to fit your gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff686 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) It seems obvious to me, but maybe I'm missing something. Why couldn't you mount it on the right, in front of the ejection port, right over the mounting holes? You could rotate the aimpoint 90 deg, and have minimal clearance between the frame and sight. Henning, you're trying out that 45deg C-More mount, so it's not unreasonable to rotate to odd angles to acheive a lower dot. 90 deg is even simpler, in comparison. Wouldn't the mount be cheaper to make too, since it could be made from a single piece of flat stock? Maybe something like below. I just guessed at the dimensions, but it seems simple enough.

Sounds like a great idea!! Are there any problems connected to mounting it on the right side? Edited May 26, 2009 by Flexmoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoHallak Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I think a one sided mount like on the CZ modified gun is the way to go.. Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ks-shooter Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Are there any problems connected to mounting it on the right side? As long as you do not mount it in front of the ejection port, you should be good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff686 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 New mount from DAA, looks pretty good! I wonder if we can get it to fit the Gold Team. What would we need? No holes, so we can drill it oursevles, and maybe a spacer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I wonder if we can get it to fit the Gold Team. What would we need? No holes, so we can drill it oursevles, and maybe a spacer? They would need to ditch the big hole in the middle cut off the frame mounting holes part completely and re-drill new holes further up the mount. The Tanfoglio slide is much lower so you need to drop the whole mount about 1/3 of an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnsyk Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Mike at Schuemann built me a mount for the Aimpoint Micro. It's going on my Hunter 10mm 6" gun. It's over at Rich now for a few tweaks before it's getting finished with a Micro and ready for Hunting season. I'm thinking of doing a BearCoat Camo paint job on it... we'll see ;-)).

nYdGeo Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 One option, the option that is going on my STI and my EAA open guns when finished will be J-Points on top of this mount by Arredondo: http://www.arredondoaccessories.com/catego...6cqdmj&GID= Just get the undrilled model, mill off the bottom to get the height right for you EAA/TF, drill it to match the holes in your frame, mount your J-Point/Doctor, and rock on! Certainly not the only way to go, but certainly not a bad way either. Someone mentioned earlier in the thread about the bad thing about slide mounting a J-Point/Doctor type sight was having to machine the slide; while this can be a cool thing to do it is certainly not necessary. I have an original Fire Point site sitting on a Glock mount that goes inthe factory dovetail, and haven't a problem in the world with it. If I can find an adaptor plate that will go into the dovetails on either of my two open guns, I'd not hesitate to try it. On my Glock I never loose site of the dot during the cycle, but that may not be the case with another type of pistol. If it doesn't work, that Arredondo mount will work just fine.

shooterbenedetto Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Here's another option if you are going with a Jpoint or docter sight. JV MOUNT!!/ make sure to specify which one when ordering. http://www.jvdynamics.com/custom_guns/new_parts.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Just an FYI... If you go with the RHT mount for Tanfoglio/Aimpoint Micro then you will need to add a shim to the rear of the mount. It appears that there is no 1 degree decline in the mount so it's hard to sight the gun in. I added a 0.015" shim to the rear between scope/mount, this equates to about .5 degree (I think) which allowed me to sight it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Why would you want a one sided mount on the ejection port side? seems like asking for trubs... jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 By the time the case is starting to come out of the ejection port it is way past the scope mount. I never had any issues with my gun back in '93 when it had a right-side scope mount. As long as it is forward enough it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
