My guess is that he means the hardness measured 30 on the Rockwell C scale.

That would have been my assumption as well, but remember, when you assume things you make a ass out of you not me. Which is why as a machinist myself I hate to assume things. Being abrasive tends to be my preferred path. ;)

But Frank took it well, explained himself and his product more in detail and for that

Is there a reason why you are changing from Aluminum to Steel?

Satain, thanks for writing. There are no changes, just new products. The CASM Gen II will be sold right beside the CASM "S". I am also working on more than 27, M14 platform concepts right now at M14.ca. How many will make it to market, I do not know but the testing is going to be fun. Nevertheless, you will see a lot more. I'm only getting started. A new, 2059 sq. ft. office complex is being renovated right now to house some of the most innovative M14 platform products in North America. If it wasn't for the success of the CASM scope mount, I would not be doing that right now. Thank-you for your support.
 
I just point one of the 2 point AIM mounts on from Marstar..... how do you know if the scope mount is on "straight"...just eyeball it?

Ie not pointed too far left or right of center, not pointed too far up/down (slope/ level)


???

I just eyeballed it... no rhyme or reason

^ I saw that too. That NcStar/no name/multi-name mount shown there that doesn't even have the dovetail attachment point is all over the internet. I couldn't imagine it being any use at all, especially for what it costs. :\

Anyone else noticing this crazy ITAR crap? We can't get anything shipped up here if it mounts to a firearm. At the moment I'm trying to buy a mount, scope, and bipod and it's proving very difficult.

Is there anywhere in Canada that carries the UTG line; I like the reviews and fit of that bipod of theirs and I wouldn't mind trying the tri-rail+charger guide rail as a mount.

After that I'm going to actually look into making a mount; take a look at the reciever and think about what you could do with some angle iron, barstock and a piece of picatinny rail (also hard to come by sometimes, I've seen a 4 inch piece of rail cost over $50).

Anyways I was looking at the rail and saw a bunch of things I could do with steel, bolts, and maybe some JB weld.

Funny thing I just received my SAI 4th Gen scope mount from Brownells.
 
Hi there M14.ca,

I am new here, but also have the same question as Satain. I am THIS close to purchasing one of your mounts for my new M305, but I guess I do not understand the performance difference between the Aluminum and the Steel mount (if there is one). Maybe it is self explanatory if you understand the metallurgy, but that is over my head.

I guess the question is: What problem is the steel mount trying to solve that the aluminum one didn't? I doubt you made it just for grins and giggles. It looks kick ass, but I guess I need a better reason than that to buy the steel mount over the aluminum one.
 
Trouble Shooting a Promag M1A Mount install and Fix

Going to scope the Nork, got the bug to set up another M21 :D I really wanted to get a Smith Enterprises 2006 mount again (should have never sold it) but there harder to find that hens teeth here in Canada so I settled on a Promag copy of it. Found one on the EE so I grabbed it. Got all set up tonight and got to work. Being that's I got it used it came with no instructions. Off to Promag's site and got nothing so being that's its a Smith/Sadlak copy I went to Sadlak's site. Starting to install as directed and come up with this problem:

Reading on, it says that some M1A receivers are not made to USGI Spec so to fix the problem I could send it to them for "fitting". As you can see I've got a non-spec one, damn you Norinco!!! lol. So we all know it isn't going there for "fitting" so I had to come up with something myself. This is where it needs to be. Being that this is the second Nork with the same problem I suspect that others have had the same problem so here is a solution I came up with to fix it.
IMG_5944.jpg

I did try to install it with the gap but when I tighten down the screw for the stripper clip guide it ends up twisting the mount, that's not going to work. To recall, I remember having the same problem with the Smith mount I had installed on another Nork but was to inexperienced to notice the issue at the time.
A spacer is needed to ensure that the mount stays strait. Looked on the net for anyone who might make one but that panned out nothing. So off to the garage to make one myself. I found a washer that was just the size I needed. Now out comes the dremel to do a custom fit.
Before:

After:

All done. Placed over the stripper clip guide:

Installed on the Nork:

As you can see it's still not "perfect" but it's damn close, close enough to get the job done. After doing all this I ended up with another problem, now the screw that goings into the stripper clip guide isn't long enough so I'll need to get a longer one but I think that will be easy compared to what I had to do so far, lol
I don't have a scope to mount on it yet but it will before hunting season so the test will have to wait for now. I will post results after it's all complete but I suspect that this will work out just fine.
 
Here is my rifle:

The scope mount ( M14/M1A CASM® "RD" ) fits in the rear sight pocket (the rear sight must be removed). It has a hole which is intended to be used as a crude rear sight as a back up for your optics.

The scope mount is a very short picattiny rail wich is typically only suitable for some red dots sight. In this case, the red dot is made by Vortex. The dot size is 4 MOA and it can be switched red/green at various intensities.

The rear sight weighs more that the scope mount.

Installing the M14/M1A CASM® "RD" was not chalenging.

McCannIndustries.com (253) 537-6919 , make a tree point stripper clip mount , two set screws , optional recommed to drill a hole trough the stripper clip mount,pin & drill bit is supplied. When mount is removed the zero at 100 m is about 3MOA. Arms is to low to the receiver and jams. When removed and replaced the rifle would not hit paper at 100m.
 
Here is the M305 receiver, barrel and trigger groups (with iron sights in the foreground) weighing in with a CASM scope mount at exactly 6lbs (Dymo S100 digital scale). I bring this to your attention because as a 4oz. scope mount, it one of the lightest and most secure mounts you can buy for a very reasonable price. It is currently in use on approx. 940 M14 rifles in the US, Canada and New Zealand. More information is available here.
