RS Regulate Micro Mount Preorder, Teaser Shots of New Light Mount

RS Regulate's new Micro Red Dot side mount is up as a preorder at Brownells,  If you like side mounts, you will finally have a way to mount at Micro red dot as low possible.

Also there are some cool teaser shots of their new light mount at Facebook. Since watching Adaptive Kalash, I've been looking at getting a light mount that gets the light off the handguard to try out more of the new school handguard grip.  I've been looking at the Thorntail, but I'm going to have to wait for this one.

RS Regulate to release new Micro Aimpoint side mount

RS Regulate is about to release their new Micro Aimpoint side rail mount to coincide with SHOT. In general, if you like to run a side mount, I think their mounts are the way to go if you are mounting a red dot (and maybe soon a ACOG or some other scope). They are high quality, light weight mounts that are adjustable for bore centerline and will co-witness on most rifles.

Kalinka introduces Version 3 of the Tim Heffron mount

http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/pk-01v-aimpoint-to-ak-saiga-vepr-centered-side-mount-w-30-mm-heavy-duty-ring-tim-heffron-special-limited-edition-v-3-0.html

This is a 30mm ring mount is probably the best opition over the other two version that have been out there. When the discussion of a side mount that would co-witness was wanted, this was the one referenced in the first place. Apparently Tim finally got them to import it! It should co-witness with a lot of rifles and allows a little more mounting options with the rail. Looks like you could even use offset rings that are currently being used for flashlights.

Report of Kalinka's co-witness Aimpoint mount breaking

In January, Kalinka Optics http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/ released a special run of side rail mounts that would allow co-witness with a Aimpoint M3 style optic. I have one of these mounts and also a similar mount they offered that usually is for the PK23 which I and others modified to work better as a co-witness mount (see this thread: http://warriortalk.com/showthread.php?t=60011).

Apparently one of these broke already in it's thin point where the ring attaches. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=4&f=56&t=124897&page=5 That's too bad if it is a problem with all of these mounts since they are my favorite right now. I'll fall back to the BP-02 if these continue to break.
