Folks,

Anyone know a source for a adapter that I can use to mount a red dot on top a M41 barrel? I guess I need something that provides a Weaver or Picatinny rail.

Do it right, have it drilled and tapped or buy one that is. Then buy a quality 1" dot. I have found ultra dot to be the best for bullseye as the dot is very krisp and the are quaranteed for life. Just my opinion, good luck. TonyR

The new barrels are drilled and tappped for a mount base. The older one will require drilling. I personally prefer the 30mm Ultradot and use the medium large dor size.

Mine's already drilled and tapped. I put a Burris FastFire on mine... ditto for my Mdl 952. Combo works beautifully.

With the Mdl. 41 you do not have to remove the rear sight. Just put on the Weaver rail, attach the sight, sight it in (you can use a boresight to speed the process if you have a .22 spud) do some fine tuning on the sight-in on the FastFire and go amuse yourself for hours - I do, daily, as I have my own pistol range in the back yard.

I have a newer model too - already drilled & tapped. Weaver rail was $9. Put a C-More Red Dot on top on that. Can't miss @ 25 m.

I have a Docter on my Clark Custom Barrel & a UltraDot on a 7"S&W barrel.
Both are great. The Docter mounts really low ans has very nice sight picture for speed shooting.

A model 41 with a Doctor makes for a very nice combo.



It's almost like cheating...

Joe,

Thanks for posting that. I am convinced to get a Docter Red Dot now. They seem to be going for $400. Any betters deals out there on them?

In the meanwhile I am waiting for Ray at http://www.bullybarrel.ray-vin.com/ to start his next run. He is going to machine the rails right into the top of the SS barrel

If you don't have a drilled & tapped barrel(or don't want to D&T your original) you might consider buying a new barrel that is D&T. I had an older 5.5" and bought this new 7". Both Weaver & Weigland make a mount. My sight only requires the first slot so I cut off the unneeded portion for a cleaner look. It has stayed rock solid.

Clark Barrels are Weaver machined across the top so that you can mount a Docter anywhere you like. As far as price, I loked long and hard someplaces you can save $5, but they are out of stock

Look at the Ultra-Dot L/T sight. It has virtually the same look and dimensions as the Docter sight at around $205 shipped.
I got mine from ultradotwest.com
They have a great warranty too.

Here is an interesting comparison of the Docter sight and the Ultra-Dot. Is it true that the Docter sights does not have click adjustments and is a PITA to setup? If so it sounds like a not so cheap Chinese import!

Also, what mount do you guys use because the unit seems to be geared to mount to an ACOG?

Ultradot mounted on a Weaver T09 base (T62 also works) mounted on a 7 3/8" barrel.
