ACOG question

[Dr.Rob]

Do all ACOGs have a carry handle mount and a rail adapter? Or are some strictly for rail/flat tops and some just for carry handle mounting?

I can't tell from looking at them on-line.

 

[mr.trooper]

If i recall, none of the ACOGs have integral mounts. They have their own proprietary way of securing into a type of cradle which are available in several different types (carry handle, Flat top, Quick-throw, Ect.).

If you're talking about the base model optic, then yes, you should be able to purchase an adapter for either type of rifle.

All the ACOGs I've seen had integral AR-15 carry handle mounts machined into them. The rail adapters use that as the interface between the rail and the ACOG optic.

What briansmithwins said. Both the TA31F and TA01NSN can be adapted to carry handle mount (only ACOG scopes O have personal experience with).

This.....^^^^^

If you have a regular "carry handle" AR just remove the two screws from the bottom of the "rail grabber" mount then install the ACOG in the carry handle and use a locking lever screw (usually included when buying a new ACOG) to secure it to the handle...

Have two; a 1.5 x 24 and a 3 x 30. The 1.5x came with the machined in carry handle base only. The 3x had that plus the rail adapter (TA-60?) factory mounted to it which I removed.

Plus some of the ACOGs like those above only mount with one screw; I believe some have two.
