Title: Red Dot mount for the new Browning A5
Post by: meturkey2000 on January 12, 2018, 11:29:18 AM
I haven't been able to find a way to mount optics to this gun short of drilling and tapping my receiver. Anyone know of anything available for my application?

There is a cantilever mount for them. I put one on my buddy's A-5. They sell them on Amazon. They work great. I had to inlet the picatinny notch with a file just a smidge so the mount on a Burris FF III would fit. Other than that, a perfect system. I would soak the screws in 91% alcohol to get the grease off, wipe them down real well and put a dab of blue loctite on them so everything stays tight.
