ULTIMAK - M1 Garand Foward Optic Mount

Looks good on the rifle and lets you add a low mounted red dot or LER scope. Easy installation. I like the Trijicon MRO (American made) or the Aimpoint H2 (not from America). The rail and optics adds a little weight, but the Garand was never a light weight rifle. If it gets heavy on the range or out hunting just think about the Americans that carried it across Europe, the Pacific or the Korean peninsula and then you can suck it up and quit complaining.

A great design, flawless machining and finishing are only part of the story. This addition to your Garand was obviously created by genuine Garand enthusiasts and it shows. The lavishly illustrated installation and use instructions are detailed and reflect a deep understanding of the M1 Garand. Even with a modest, long eye relief scope, this addition to my Garand is a joy. Today's groups were the best I have ever achieved with this rifle. The reception by my fellow Garand enthusiasts was also very positive not only because this is the "best Garand scope mounting system I've seen" from a serious Korea veteran but also accolades for how well it fits the profile of the rifle. Oh, and the cheek weld with the low mounted scope is just as good as with the installed iron sights. We have a winner here!

I make short Garands, the Mini-G and the common tanker. This mount has great low profile and excellent quality but requires much modification to be used on short Garands. Simple fix, use a spring Steel mount, thin mount bracket like the Amega does. This would provide clearance for the tanker and only require oprod milling on the Mini-G.
