AI and UNS

If you are shooting an AI, particularly and AI AWP in .308 you may want to check out a mount for the UNS made by Colt Canada, formerly Diemaco. It is very similar to the mount used by the German Army for their night vision set up. It keeps the existing day optics in a low profile and cants the UNS to bring it as low as possible.
This particular mount was made for a large Canadian police force and has been in service for over 2 years with a few thousand rounds downrange. It performs very well. The forestock of the AI can also be mounted with addition rails for other accessories. The mount was also picked up by the UAE.
The McCann mount was found to be unacceptable due to the amount the day optics were raised, what it did to the CG of the system, and the weight/forces being exerted on the mount. The Schmidt and Bender scope is heavy to start with.
If you need a contact name I can give you one.
