Purists: don't worry, NO modifications to the Carbine were necessary to install this mount.

Time to head up to the range and zero everything... the squirrels outside are already nervous. LOL.

The balance point with a loaded 15 round mag is right in front of the magazine... the Leopold scope is very light, as is the aluminum mount. Now, those Leopold rings are HEAVY. Lyle at UltiMAK has an idea to make his own mounts out of aluminum, but this will have to do for now.
