Cyma need to release their UMP stocked Mp5 soon, so I can buy a Galaxy MP5K and build this:

Dont normal MP5 stocks and MP5K stocks attach differently? Hopefully I'm wrong, cause that looks awesome.

This might actually look nice on P90 TR

That's a pretty decent replica. The only external differences I can tell between this and my real T-1 is:
* the vertical/horizontal adjustment caps are a bit taller on the replica,
* the real steel doesn't have the Aimpoint logo along the top,
* replica is missing Intensity +/- marking on the brightness dial
* replica is missing the Micro T-1 + Serial Number marking on the lower left side... which essentially means this replica could pass for either a Micro T-1 or a Micro H-1

Internally, the 4 MOA on my real steel seems a bit bigger. I'm also really curious to know how bright the reticule is in full daylight, however if the rest of my Aimpoint Replicas are anything to go by, the replica Micro will probably be fine (unlike most Replica Eotech's which have a hard time in full daylight). Curious also about battery life (it's pretty hard to beat 50,000 hours (over 5 years) of constant operation from one CR2032 battery like my real deal has).

On the plus side, all these differences are SO very minor, that this looks like a great and affordable replica to a very expensive red dot. I'm hoping they make some low and high profile mounts for it like the LaRue Tactical ones.

The only thing I'd like to mention to people is that the Micros are VERY low profile when used with their included weaver mount. This is awesome for P90s, shotguns, and pistols, however on a flat top M4 I strongly recommend buying some kind of Quick Detach Mount base (like this one from EbayBanned) which will raise the Micro a 1/2". You still won't have a cowitness with your Iron Sights (you'll have to go with a taller weaver QD mount to do that), but it'll be easier to use / usable. I had to do that for both my T-1 and my Low profile LaRue Tactical Pride Fowler IronDot.

This has been out on WGC for a while, and yes the trades are in the wrong place.

Still... for the price... that's basically 1/10th the price of the real one. Even I can't argue/fault with that much of a price savings. I'd rather buy this than a replica Eotech.

Oh man, that would look great on a G36...

Anyone have a small G36 rail so I can mod it on my carrying handle?

Just what I was thinking. I may buy the Railed carry handle along with one of these

Also begadi.com had these a while back (not this very one, but it was some Microdot copy), I was gonna buy one, but when I was about to order, poof! They were all gone.

And where's the one on WGC? I can't see any.

I guess it was the STAR replica, wich cost around 85$,

Corps, that ARMS style mount is still going to leave the micro very low. Id say it will provide an upper 1/3rd cowitness which is less than ideal. You would need about a half inch or just a tad more in order to get an absolute co witness.

I would think the Larue or ADM mounts would work with the replica too considering its a fairly straight forward mounting process.

Yeah, I suggested the ARMS style QD mount for flat top M4s simply to do two things: (1) make removal of the optic quicker, and (2) give the M4 user a slightly better sight line than if no additional mount was used at all. It definitely won't give you a cowitness, but just using the Micro on an M4 with no additional mount at all is nigh impossible to use.

Besides, for me 99% of the time my BUIS are there simply as back ups for a worst case scenario situation and folded away, so I'm not that fussed about a perfect cowitness. As you pointed out, trying to get a perfect cowitness using the Micro on an M4 requires a really tall mount that in my opinion kinda defeats the low profile aspect of the Micro and looks ... kinda ugly.
