Brownells USA Sturdy and strong for optics. 04/10/2013

Pros: built well and installation was easy. I did tighten a screw too tight and had to back it out. It was too stripped to put back in, called Ultimak, they sent me a complete set of screws just in case, no charge. Great customer service!

Cons: I installed this rail and installed a nikon force eer pistol scope. This rail will slightly taper towards the muzzle and will slightly dip, hard to tell with the human eye. After sighting my scope in with this rail and gun, my scope could not adjust to the 100yard sight in, it was about 15 MOA above the crosshairs and my scope could no longer adjust it was maxed out on elevation. Had to buy scope shim kit to move h scope up 15 MOA.

Other than the taper, well built rail ideal for red dots.

Brownells USA A+ for this mount! 06/05/2012

This is a well made, solid mount. It fits The USGI barrel I have perfectly. The outside contour blends well with the rest of the rifle resulting in an integrated look. The mount itself is about an inch and a half lower than most other traditional scope mounts making it a good choice for optic sights like Eotech.
Mounting the mount will take you a better part of an hour if not longer depending on how mechanically inclined you are. The instructions are concise but a little difficult to follow but if you read them carefully and take your time you should have no problem.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the rifle shot better with the mount attached which came as a pleasant surprise as I was worried clamping something to the barrel would have an adverse effect.
Overall well worth the high price.
