Aimpoint Comp M4S

Is there an interference issue with 556 charge handle using the Aimpoint M4S without the spacer? Can the Aimpoint M2/M3 type flip-up dust covers be installed on the M4S and where to source them?

Thank you!

I've got an M4s mounted on flush on the 556 and it's not a problem at all.

Can't help on the covers, though.
M4s do not use the flip-up covers like the M2s and M3s & related variants - the M4 comes with an Aimpoint factory supplied bikini cover....

The flip-ups were getting broken coming out of vehicles and banging through doorways, etc., so the military went back to old school (read: cheaper to issue as G.I.) rubber bikini covers...like the ACOGs use.

If you "have to have" them, send Aimpoint Customer Service and Sales an e-mail - they can tell you whether the other covers are compatible....

I like the flip-ups better [use them {GG&G} on the EOTech too] - the rubber cover on my ACOG smarms the lens up with rubber residue and I have to clean it more often - minor PITA but still....

...IMO there is the potential for one...i would suggest going with the Comp M4 instead...i have a Comp M4 mounted low without the spacer on one of my 556s and do not have any issues with it...it's a perfect fit !
