SCOPE MOUNTING: Mounting an optical sight can be easy or a major pain in the crosshairs.
The Australian Army has also looked at this idea and in conjunction with BAE Systems Australia and the country's Defence Science and Technology Organisation has developed and produced the Off Axis Viewing Device (OAVD), which uses mirrors clipped onto the optical sight of the Army's F88 assault rifles, M4 carbines and F89 Minimi weapons to see around corners by reflecting the image in the optical sight.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Dear Half-Mast, My unit just got new M4 carbines with the M68 optical sight and the backup iron sight (BUIS).
