M14/M1A AIRBORNE SCOPE MOUNT by SADLAK I

Excellent instructions. Follow them to the letter and you won't have any trouble. You'll need a set of 6 inch dial calipers to check your receiver to make sure it is within specs. Mine fit like a glove.

Best bang for the buck

Three years and over 1k down the pipe this Sadlak mount has been great. When I have R&R'd the mount it returns within 3moa.

100% Pleased

Easy to install, No problems with the M1A fit.

Great Product

Installed it on a Federal receiver. Even though the receiver was way out of spec in several places I was able to get it installed without removing any metal from base or receiver. The ability to see the iron sights through the base helps when mounting the base/scope. I was able to get the base mounted and the scope on the paper first shot by using the iron sights before going to the range.

Wish I had bought this the first time

Perfect fit. Complete step by step instructions.Quality Control personally signed off by Mike Sadlak. Dont find that too often these days.

Fit First try, adjustment takes longer.

Got the new Tactical Sadlak Mount for M14/M1 Springfields from Brownells. Test Fit and all parts fell in place on 1st try, nothing too loose or too tight. Used Directions and Mount adjustment kit and mine was in specifications. Installed per directions and this was only the difficult spot which was tighten then loosen and tighten again, even per directions made that statement. Next will be range after using Green Boresight laser set for 600 yard Neighbors rafter above window (2" x 6" on red Background) to see if big bore 762 x 51 shakes things loose..

Worked well with my standard

Product shipped fast and arrived with all items needed to install. A little tricky to torque the allen screws, but if instructions are followed properly just a little extra snugging on each screw/bolt was right on the money. I had NO ejection issues with 40 rounds fired on my Springfield standard. Installed a Vortex 4-12x44 with weaver rings. I will say that I was about 12 inches low and 10 inches right at 50 yards to start-yikes!!! I did not do the recommended spec sheet from sadlak ahead of time, that would help I'm sure. I think up and down could be adjusted depending on how you install, but right to left cannot. Long story short I had enough adjustment in the scope to zero it. Moved out to 100 yards and fine tuned a bit. Took 20-25 rounds from a sandbag and picnic table without a bore sight laser. Overall happy with it, and the instructions are easy and accurate. I know the steel or titanium would be better, but for me, a light shooter I didn't find it necessary for the extra money. Not enough rounds down range to really know for sure about holding zero and shooting loose, but I think it will be fine. Will further review if anything changes. Sadlak and Brownells were great to deal with as everyone says!
