Jack Suber Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I have heard that there are some bad scope mounts for the M1A. So, which are the good ones? Supposedly, mine is not the Springfield mount - rather the "government issue' mount. It has "U.S. Government" stamped on one side and "supposedly" costs $300. So, I am wondering which one I have? Can anyone identify it for me and tell me if I want it or not? Thanks. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike P Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I've owned three different Springfield Armory M1A scope mounts over the years, but not one exactly like yours. From the pictures it looks like it ought to be rock solid. If you are getting consistant sized groups and consistant group placement each time you take it out without fooling with the adjustments it ought to be GTG. I'd run with it unless there were issues.

Dan Sierpina Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Two mounts that I had heard were good were ARMS and Brookfield Precision. I imagine that the ARMS would be so marked. Try looking up Brookfield Precision. That definately isn't a Springfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbs007 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) Correction, it is a Smith Enterprise wire EDM mount. Retails for $275. Edited October 7, 2008 by norbs007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Fulton Armory used to make a nice one. Peter Adams FY-39604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esskay Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Smith Enterprise M14 scope mounts are reputed to be amongst the best, with extra tolerance to accommodate variations in the dimensions of various M1A/M14 receivers. Go here for a FAQ on M14 scope mounts (scroll down a bit): http://www.imageseek.com/m1a/ Also has tons of other useful M14/M1A FAQs and information.
