This isn’t the first time we’ve mentioned the BOARS-M2 (B.E. Meyers & Co. Optics & Accessory Rail System for the M2). If you’re looking for a dependable way to mount optics and lasers to a Ma-Deuce, it’s the best answer out there and offers the lowest profile.
It’s a snag-free, low-profile mounting solution that offers a quick-disconnect with true return-to-zero reattach. The base of the mount is installed via friction clamps and is meant to remain on the host platform, while the detachable rail can be removed and reattached at will, and will retain zero of all optics and laser systems mounted. The detachable rail incorporates rail segments for mounting most common laser systems in conjunction with a top mounted optic, while still clearing the gap in a M2 shield.
Best of all, BOARS-M2 has been awarded NSN 1240-01-682-8650 and is available for procurement.
What’s old is new again. This looks almost identical to the ones I used in Afghanistan 15-20 years ago. Obviously a bit different….but not. Great piece of equipment to have.
The issue here is that it has an NSN and units still don’t have it.
