Good thing we all know we are talking about scopes here!

 

[7mmRM]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

LOL! I thought the same thing when I typed about "mounting my scope."

 

[7mmRM]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Ok.. I couldnt take it any longer... I brought my M40A1 to work, knowing this would be in... So I put the scope on for some pics.

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

I put my name in for the mounts and posted the question there, but I will also post it here. What receiver serial number range will the mounts fit correctly? I know there was a bridge heigh/profile change, but I don't remember when. Since I don't have my receiver yet it would definitely be easier to get the correct receiver to match the mount.

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Got a mail from George at GAP....my rifle is all done....just waiting on the MST.

Good things are certainly worth waiting for...but it is tough sometimes!!

Isaac, Very nice ! I can't wait to see mine with the painted stock. I'll probably be the only one that kept the stock painted. I have never seen another.. More pics please !

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

I can't seem to get the scope to focus crisply when adjusting the parallax at around 400ds The first time I shot it I could see my hits clearly, but the next time I tried I was unable to clear up the image of my target, any suggestions?

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Reset your parallax and make sure you have it snugged down.

 

[codyb]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Reset it by tightening it down or?

 

[DAFAR]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

hey did you guys see the m40 mounts group buy?

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: codyb</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Reset it by tightening it down or? </div></div>

Loosen the lock ring 1/4 to 1/2 turn (no more)
Turn the focus ring 1/4 turn then snug the lock ring back down.
Check for parallax. If it's still present, then repeat.
If you get to 1/2 to 3/4 turn and observe no change, then you are turning the ring the wrong way. Dial it back and start over.
Make sure you are snugging the lock ring after every adjustment otherwise the objective lens could "float".

It goes without saying that when you do this you should be on a target at your desired range. The Marine Corps suggests 300 yards for shooting to 1000 yards. If you won't be shooting that far, then set the parallax at a closer range (100-200 yards).

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

I was hoping that you were going to post that you just got yours. Waiting is killing me. Mine is going to my smith before I even see it (with a build), so I can't wait until its done as it is the last piece.
All, let us know if anyone gets them.
Chad

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Mine is ready to ship, I just have to finish paying for it.

I still won't have a mount for it or a rifle to mount it to for that matter.

 

[codyb]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Thanks for the info I was attempting to fine tune it and must have taken it to far.

 

[grunt0311]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

I have a question about the new MST-100. I bought one back in 2004. The retical on that one is almost the same except the big stadia lines on that one is a triangle type instead of like the new ones that is pictured below. I have two of the scopes like the old one. I would like to update it to the way that the Unertl and the new one has. I noticed it in a buddy's that he put on his m40a1. Is this going to be a big deal to change or not? I wish my digital camera would work so I can show you what Im talking about if someone doesnt understand. Thank you

[7mmRM]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Maybe USO could change out the reticles???

 

[grunt0311]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Thats what Im hoping for them to do was to change the reticle. Thanks

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

John,
Are all the scopes spoken for?

John III

P.S. Duane from Strider Knives has 8541</div></div>

They were all spoken for as of March 17. I do know however that some were ordered by companies instead of individuals.
Give them a call and see if you can find out who ordered them.

Thank you!

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

check with GAP

 

[wilshire1412]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Question for the group, which Butler Creek covers fit the MST-100 correctly?

Or what are you guys using to keep crap off the lenses on yours?

 

[Scooter64]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

For those of the lucky few that have a USO MSTT 100 can you tell me what is the diameter of the ocular bell housing.

 

[chad3]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Just asked for it with the scope...
Sorry, just keeping it on the top of the page...

[mcm308]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Can never get a solid answer out of USO on these and it's startin to piss me off..

 

[chad3]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

I think these are back burner, get to them as you have down time type of scopes. Becky asked if they were getting done when I called a few weeks ago and the guy just said, nope haven't gotten to them.
They'll get done, just maybe not as fast as we would like. Wish I hadn't have rushed so much to get the cash to them...
Chad

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Last time I checked GAP was offering the MST100 with a M40A1 build on their website for an extra charge (of course). You might call them and see if they can still add one to a spec build.

Chad... I do think they were doing them in batches. I just sent another check off to USO yesterday. I am sooooo close to having it paid off!

I still need to track down a base before I worry about an action.

 

[JBW3]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

They're being built all the time, we have another batch of 15 just about done right now.

Whoever has the OD green coated MST, it looks awesome! That one and 15 others should be shipping this week.

Come on John,
You must have a picture of that one. Hope some one on here ordered that and we can see it.
Hope mine is one of those 15 that are getting send out. Rifle is waiting for it.

 

[bmbrzmn101]

Re: ***USO MST-100's, LAST RUN!!!***

Chad don't feel bad. I got my GAP M40A1 last may, placed my order for the scope in May or June last year got it in April this year waited a little longer on the scope mount and finally got to go shoot it today in the rain. The wait is bad, but worth it when done. Patience is difficult but mandatory. Which is easy since I already have mine.

Sorry, I know I suck. Couldn't help it.

It will be here before you know it though.Chris
