Scope for an MC51

[mark1989]

Hi everyone, should hopefully be getting myself a lovely looking MC51 (but with a solid stock for large batteries but that's beside the point) and i'm starting to think about getting myself a nice sight for it.

So far i'm thinking, either, i can get an acog, an elcan or an elcan DR spectre.

They're all fixed mag (The spectre i'm looking at can switch between 1 and 4x but i doubt i'd use it that much) and should have a reasonable compramise between target aquisition and being able to lend some help for longer range shots.

As far as i can tell it's mostly looks that are the difference between them as i'd probably be getting a clone, although the spectre is twice the price, but damn it looks pretty.

So anyway, opinions and any pictures please.

Defo the specter as its quite a small gun, you dont really want a massive sight like the ELCAN. The ACOG does look good on a HK53/33 but ACOGS are way too common so id gor for the Specter personally.

Re: Scope for an MC51

look for walther sights. i think they do a claw mount one for mp5/g3 etc.

Re: Scope for an MC51

It also has a slightly extended barrell on it the one i'm looking at which makes it look i abit more balanced with the extra size of the scopes. Thanks ste for the mock ups, they somehow seem to look a lot better than i managed on there.

So far i'm leaning towards the acog i think, the elcan is a bit too bulky and i don't know if i could bare to part with enough money to get a spectre. Acogs are a bit boring but it does look nice...

But now to try and google this ultimate force sight and try to identify, if it's as cool as you say i might have another contender.

Thanks for the input guys

Re: Scope for an MC51

Have thought about the walther 2x red dot, got one on my m4 right now though and i don't like to get the same things a've already had...

Re: Scope for an MC51

i'd say stick with iron sights. IMO the looks of this gun are already disproportionate and a sight would knock it even more off balance in terms of looks.

off course this point is purely based on visual features and NOT performance.

its a aimpoint.
the hendsolt replicas look nice.
ask pantopes if he still has the picture of it on his g3

Re: Scope for an MC51

Definitely an aimpoint. You ain't gonna want 4x magnification on that gun... or most aegs really, but thats beside the point and an arguement for another thread Aimpoints are lovely sights, easy to use and the batteries are really really cheap. It is a heavy sight though, so i only use it when i need it. Use an mp5 low mount as well, the tm qd claw mounts have a tendancy to pop off, especially if you have a metal body.

The Hendsolts are lovely looking things, but at £150 with the mount...

Re: Scope for an MC51

I have the G&G version of the MC51. I've got an RIS on the front which changes the look slightly, but I'd say an Aimpoint is the way to go too.
