Do you mean something like this:
It says GwA 97k on the receiver, instead of GL5140.

Probably an older prototype, the people at Swissarms didn't know anything about it either, when I had it there to install the sight.
The army never bought GL's for the few 551 in the inventory.

RaceRock had one, not sure if he still does though. PM him.
It's a heavy piece of kit, compared to a Colt M203. It makes the rifle weigh a ton. I wouldn`t want to hump one around all day.

Why are none of you carbine and CQB guys using an Aimpoint Micro, Zeiss Zpoint, etc? They are the only optics you can use and still get co-witness with the irons - or even use the irons for that matter.... Someone posted that it works. Spending that much money and not having the irons to rely on would bug the crap out of me.....
One day I'll own a carbine...oh yes.....

They don't disappear just because you can't co-witness...

or use a low rail and a normal Aimpoint ML2
With my ACOG I can use the irons, too, had to replace the screws from the mount though.

Meh - having to remove the optic is not an ideal set up IMO. Especially when there are other quality optic options out there that solve the issue.

Low rails are hard to come by here. Do you use a see through mount for the ACOG?
ACOG+TA51 mount is see-through but as noted, the screw is too long and somewhat obscures the sight picture.

If all it takes is to replace the screw it sounds like a good option. That's good to know.
I can understand your opinion that it might be less than ideal. That's not the same as "not having the irons to rely on".Meh - having to remove the optic is not an ideal set up IMO. Especially when there are other quality optic options out there that solve the issue.
Not sure I agree it's an issue, I guess we each have our own requirements.
Cheers
