A Giant RMR, for your Ma Deuce

[Talyn]

Michigan-based Trijicon won an Army contract to build an optic for the vaunted “Ma Deuce,” and the sight has made its first appearance in the field.

First announced in July 2021, the Army tapped Trijicon to deliver its Machine Gun Reflex Sight, or MGRS, specifically for use with the M2A1 .50 caliber heavy machine gun. It basically looks like a huge RMR with a flip-in magnifier.

Type classified as the M155 Mounted Machine Gun Optic, or MMO, the sight attaches to the M2A1 .50 cal with a BE Meyers BOARS Mount

I'm sure @BET7 has already ungraded to these on his Ma Deuce's.

Apparently, the profit margin on an SRO wasn’t big enough! The bad news is you have to take it off to change the battery.

No issues with having a dead battery. FUDDs will refuse to utilize the sight anyway. They will just co-witness it.

Man oh man one would think a tad bigger magnifier would be available.

Wonder if they have a mount for the 1919

It should be pic rail compatible as it's been around for several years. Hold overs out to 2k iirc.

But the mount clamps on the top plate, the 1919 is not as wide as the Ma Deuce.

They may not make one for such an older weapon, the 50 is still being used. the 30 cal 1919 is not. or least not in the modern military. maybe some third world country might still use them.
