The Bassett
Standard
M14/M1A Mount
The Standard mount was introduced to the
"public" (shooting matches mostly) in the early '80s.
The word-of-mouth advertising did something....
We tried to
discontinue the Standard Low mount because most of our customers wanted
to use their iron sights. In 2008, we started selling them again
and for the first time on the website.
-
Won't shoot loose
-
Easy installation and removal
-
Durable, Rugged
-
Compatible with Weaver rings
-
Allows clearance for case ejection
-
Returns to zero on reinstall within a
½-minute of angle at 100 yards
-
Most scopes can be rotated 90o
counter-clockwise allowing even more clearance
-
On most scopes, that means the windage
knob in the vertical position would be used for elevation adjustment
and the original elevation knob becomes the windage knob.
-
The cut-out space for the turret
allows for 1.4" (1/32nd less than 1 7/16") and with an extension
ring allows .8" of eye-relief adjustment.
-
Iron sights may still be usable while mounted
(Standard High mount only. Standard Low mount with Low rings prevents the use
of the iron sights.)
-
Bolt only requires 22 inch-pounds of
torque for best performance
-
Testing by the AMU at Fort Hood,
Texas, in 1980, determined 22 inch-pounds sufficient to hold the
mount with no shifting and yet not distort the rifle or compromise
accuracy.
-
To achieve 22 inch-pounds, use the included Torque ToolTM and
recommended installation method. It is that simple, quick and
easier to repeat achieving consistency so that the
rifle returns to zero.
-
The weight of the rifle is enough to
tighten the bolt and hold to zero. It will return to zero if
you apply the same technique each time you install it. Most
people have trouble wrapping their head around the concept that one
bolt is enough, and that 22 inch-pounds is enough, or that loctite
is not needed on the bolt. It is enough. However, if you
would like to test our findings, we do sell individual attachment
bolts for $10 each, plus shipping & handling.
