I'm new to the M1A and I'm looking to put a side mount or rail on it so I can mount a scope. I've looked into the side mounts but in my search I came across several rails.
The one that pops up the most is the Vltor Socom II. I've seen one where the rail doesn't cover the ejection port and another one that does.
I'm interested in the latter shown in the photo.
I also saw one made by Troy.
I would appreciate any info on a rail vs a side mount, pros & cons. Are rails much more heavier than the side mount? Also, I'm not that familiar with all the options for the M1A. So any other suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
