One of these, maybe
http://www.leapers.com/pages/mounting_systems/tri-rail_mount.htm
Looking at this one: UTG M14 Combat Tactical Tri Rail System.
Designed for the Air Soft crowd..... Should work on the real thing, just need to find a supplier in Canada.

It is the same mount I was looking at!
Well I guess I must of got my wires crossed; I thought they were full fledged mounts for the M-14; not AirSoft. Too bad!!!!
Thanks for the info.

Would be a great addition!!
There are a few Leeper's dealers in Canada; would be nice if Marstar would bring them in; there wouldn't be a lack of interested buyers!!!!

I see they do sell airsoft stuff but nothing indicates that these rails arent for real m14's. Not that i can find anyway. Hell its aluminum. Im gettin one!

So is Aircraft Grade Aluminum equal to 6061-t6 aluminum? I'm thinking it is. I wrote asked a guy selling these rails and he said "Hello, These mounts are made for M1a/M14 rifles. I have one of these installed on my M1A. I have the SKS mount installed on one of my Norinco SKS's. I also use one of the Car 15 quad rails on my AR Commando patrol rifle. These mounts are easy to install and hold up to the toughest conditions. I have never had a problem. I've sold several of these people that have installed the M1a mount, no problems"......But offcourse he's trying to sell them so Im still not sure.

Obviously You would not want one of these on your rifle if you actually use it on the job in some dust bowl somewhere....
...but for alot of us...in the back field or on the range, I am sure it is just fine.

Well I'm takin myself out of the frustration. Gonna concentrate on quality iron sights and keep er old school. Unless there is a rail that allows you to use irons as well. And can hold up in combat.
website says nothing about this being for airsoft.
i have my local Leapers dealer onto it at the moment, will be getting one if it is kosher. and will let you all know how it fares after a day on the range

thats awesome john!!
I remeber reading somwhere a guy put one on his M14 ( norc i believe ) but it was too small of a screw to fit the reciever, I guess the screw is for the airsoft m14. so he emailed Springfield and they sent him one. i think there was some small amount of grinding to be done too.
Damn brain isnt workin too good.
. if I remeber ill post it back
Here it is , it was Sniper1 that did the work.

my local Leapers dealer says that Leapers told him the mount was originally intended for use on the real deal and therefore should have no problems fitting . the softies just like it because its cheap
looks alot like this same mount....

read through ALL the linked threads and you will be alot wiser.....
Leapers... may have improved on the original design BUT I have no interrest in one. I am using 2x ARMS18 mounts and on my shorty have also added a Laz scout mount (basically same as marstars). With this setup, on my shorty I have 2 rock solid mounts to choose from....
Oh yah - if you use the contested handguard rail (the new Leapers, original KAC, or airsoft KAC) you remove your ability to use a conventional optic & mount/rail as there is only one place to screw in the bolt on the side....... and you are going to be using it for that huge unstable handguard with rails on it that might not even keep zero......... just my 2c

here in NZ we can get hold of a Promag mount, looks the same as the ARMS18 m14 mount.. thoughts on that ? has anyone tried one.. it is made of steel, but i found on my last m305 it didnt line up properly, was on an angle to the left,
simple matter of shims?

not exactly the case.....
my Knights KAC also has a small rail insert for the stripper clip guide (as do the guardier clones) and is adjustable up and down.... I have a 6 to 18 x 50 scope mounted and when i want a holosight i can remove and mount that to the forward rail
