S.U.S.A.T on an SLR?

[ImNotTheMafia]

I have just found out that the MED at GZ applies to my rifle, this has lead me to the decision that I should scope it up and give DMR-ing a go.

My question is: would a S.U.S.A.T be a good choice for an SLR, and were they ever used on the SLR in real life?

I'm asking as I can't afford a S.U.I.T sight for it.

Thank you in advance!

I knows it nice isn't it, but the last time I saw one on ebay it went for like £360 so ouch....

Thats a S.U.I.T sight, not a SUSAT. And the SLR never had scope when in service

Which one would you say would be better? The normal one or the Spectre DR type?

Yep, that's the S.U.I.T that I was talking about, 2 went up on the bay last week...with a starting bid of £150

That picture is what I'm aiming for eventually ^__^

Anyone else have an idea of what I could use?

Check out the photo in post 95 here:

Looks like a SUSAT on an SLR top cover to me (top, right).
Whether or not that's a valid service configuration, I don't know.

Yeah, it appears to be an SLR cover, and it's definately a SUSAT!

It's valid enough for me!

No?

Re: S.U.S.A.T on an SLR?

I thought I'd seen a photo of them in service!

Any comment on SUSATs on an SLR, Fizzy?

Re: S.U.S.A.T on an SLR?

Never seen it, and I'm sure it wasn't common if it did happen. Not sure how the SUSAT would even fit tbh.

OK - I'll do some more digging.
Though reading the arrse thread has lead me to think that it was an FAL top cover in the picture.

I can mount anything on the rifle guys, keep the ideas coming please!

The reason I referred to "valid service configuration" is that it's possible that top cover was made as an experiment - just like the No32 scope mount for the Bren - Only a couple (literally 1 or 2) were made, and never went into service.
