SADLAK INDUSTRIES M14/M1A TACTICAL SCOPE MOUNT

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!

I purchased the Sadlak aluminum scope mount for my (1991 vintage) M1A. I am impressed with the quality of the mount, detailed instructions and end result, which is a rock solid scope mount. I fired 30 rds after mounting the scope and had no function issues.



I don't usually write reviews, but was compelled to give this product a five star review. Great product!!

I have used Sadlak parts on many M1a builds and the mounts work! I have a Ti on my own and the Airborne on several others.
The mount sets up and dials in and stays set!

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.

I paired this with my Leupold Mark 4 LT/R M5 3.5-10x40mm on a SOCOM 16/M1A. I was getting 1"-1.5" groupings all day long with Winchester SUPER X 150 grain bullets at a 100 yards! This is another great product from Sadlak! WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD!!

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.

Sadlak makes an absolutely exquisite mount, but it caused my M1A jam repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly. The case would wedge above the chamber, between the scope mount and the receiver. Although the mount is relieved and angled to facilitate ejection, the relief cut ends about half an inch before the chamber, leaving a narrow "trap" to catch brass. Found a number of similar reports on the internet--supposedly a ejection timing issue--so I swapped in new mil-spec springs on the op rod and ejector, with no difference. Sorry, for [$], there's no excuse to produce a mount that causes jams. Went back to a Springfield 4th gen mount and it works without a hitch.

HOW WOULD I RATE THIS MOUNT?? ABSULTELY! RANGE AT 300 YDS I CAN COVER IT WITH A SILVER DOLLAR SHOT OFTER SHOT SOLID AND AND EXTREMELY WELL MADE FOR THE M14 BY FULTON ARMORY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ANY TYPE OF SHOOTER!

Easy to install, No problems with the M1A fit.

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.

Excellent piece of machining. Perfect tight fit. Final inspection performed by Mr. Sadlak himself. You do not see that very often these days. Concise step by step instructions with clear diagrams.

Sadlak's "Airborne" is of topnotch quality..with a really decent price. No regrets after opening the package and realizing the workmanship that Sadlak puts in to their products. The precise tolerances with mounting it on a Springfield Armory M1A, new production, was mind-blowing. They even go as far as making available(for a nominal fee)a DETAILED 'measuring kit', if the receiver isn't G.I. spec. Would definately purchase it again! NO negatives from me...

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