Barska rebrands a scope that mounts to the carry handle and resembles the colt 3x20. You can find the same scope rebranded on amazon or ebay, i've got one and it is actually pretty good quality

Surefire M14 that came with the light. I switched out the top plate with one from a knockoff set to dremel down to fit under the gas block. The knock off part is below:

Surefire sold them back in the day. They used Weaver Classic rings. Chinesium barrel clamps work just fine and I don't know who they sourced the picatinny mounts from or if they made them in house.

Thanks for your comment, I think that version might be out of stock but I did find this one

$8 Amazon knockoff of the old school mounts

Had to cut the screws down to mount the light, didn't use the supplied ring. Will have the shave it down some if you want it to fit inside the FSB.

It’s coming within the next few hours, I’ll post a reply to your comment with it mounted if your curious

This cheap Chinese mount is the correct Weaver style used on the movie gun.

Short of finding a 25 Year old ARMS #2 Weaver style Mount, it’s your most accurate option and it’s cheap.

I bought this cheap mount

It seems to work good, I cranked the knob down and so far everything has held in place and it gets jarred around atleast a couple hours a week

UTG Universal Single-rail Rifle Barrel Mount, 2 Slots https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001WJ4DGA/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_GKBBYDM53R2K2YT5665D?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Had to modify to fit between the front post and barrel. Used a dremel and it took forever. Next time I'll use a bench grinder and be done in ten minutes. Has held up great though through a couple hundred rounds. I made sure to use plenty of loctite.

Oh boy, Unfortunately it’s a China special. I just got it Sunday, so I dont have a long term review of it. I figured I’d try a cheap one first and if it didn’t work out upgrade it. So far it does it’s job I might need to crank the handle down a little tighter as it loosened a hair after bouncing around off road for 100 miles but so far I like it.

Bro I got this and it is a pain. What do I have to do to get it to fit?

It's the Odin Works 1" MLOK. I pillaged it off another build for the time being. It's not as low profile as I would like because of the angle of the B5's MLOK slots. I am looking for a replacement ATM.

You can get the Ontario one from Amazon for 100 dollars new. Shop around online and you can still find them surplus. I've got 2 at the house that I acquired over the years. There's a 35 dollar repor from a company called Wartech also on Amazon. I have one of those and it's not nearly as substantial feeling as the actual Ontario or older surplus models.

Here's a link to Amazon, click the "see all buying options" button on the left and it will take you to a page where people are selling surplus items.

I mean, you could keep on buying cheap mounts to see which one doesn't wobble. I bought one

​

I bought this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MH4CN2/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used this chinesium pos. It was slightly wider than the gap in the fsb, so I had to grind down the sides of the thinner metal piece so it would fit. It feels a bit cheap, but torqued down with some threadlocker it holds pretty tight so I can't really complain for under 10 bucks.

I think i just ordered the same turd. Lol

https://www.amazon.com/Military-Outdoor-Clothing-General-Purpose/dp/B00TX8YL2I/ cut the metal clasps off and add paracord. I bought two and one came with the clasps covered in green oxidation or whatever and stunk terribly while the other was completely fine; both dated 56.

These are the one I bought. Work great, just have to change out the bolts for shorter ones on pencil barrels.
