I like the idea but it sits quite high for a PCC. Height over bore is a bigger issue for me when you push out the range a little.

What do you think of mine?

I created this because my custom smith one broke in 30 seconds of getting it and the bleeping optics rail ripped right off.  Mine is going to be 6160 and solid.  This is just the 3d printed test part, the machinist hasn't started yet.  Probably get him going on a run next week.  I'm going to do a run of universal mount of the same things next.  This one does RMR, FastFire and a 3-slot M-Loc for anything else.

I'm working on a front end solution too, but that's like 60 days out, more if my stuff for the Sten project comes in, lots of people want those binary triggers for their Sten builds, lol.  I'm sick of the lack of product support for some things so I'm making my own, lol.

Also, yes, Semper Fi.  Got out as Sgt and I miss my Abrams everyday.

I was not impressed by the 3d printed product from custom smith and I wanted to be able to co witness too.  I have some PKM and Sten projects going right now too.  My goal is to start support for the smaller platforms the big don't want to waste their time with.

Mine is just 3d printed for testing but its going to be a milled product in the end.  the cost is going to be higher because it has to be.  I could see a 3d printed version for 40-50 dollars, but it needs to be a metal part.  I'm actually working on a steel charging handle as I type this also, the custom smith one is aluminum and mine is already showing stress.  not going to be fancy, its literally just going to be a stick of steel off the side.

Redo on the design and an extended CH design fresh off the 3D printer, taking them to the machine shop tomorrow for pricing, got myself all excited.  What do you think?  RMR and Fastfire fit perfectly, I screwed up the RMR mount last time.
