Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 83 reviews.

Bad Ace low M1a Scope mount far exceeded my expectations. Was usint he springfield scope mount and having a "chin" rest even whit the archangle stock was rather disapointing. My M1a scout using this mount is now back in the original stock and accuracy is now down to .95" five shot group off a bench at 100 yards. Must have if your are wanting a cheek weld inside of a chin weld. Highly recomend to all M1a marksman. Paul Beauvais 100% disabled Marine Vetern

This has been the perfect solution for my M1A SOCOM 16. Installation took approximately five minutes. The instructions were simple and easy to follow. I’ve put over 500 rounds through my rifle since installation and no movement at all. Totally recommend this product!

Customer photo review of M1A / M14 / M305 NDT Scope Mount Low-profile and Elevation Adjustable

Great product! Easy installation and well engineered- grat use of M14 construction to provide secure connection plus horizontal regulation and secure locks. Thread glue included. For me, as an engineer, very good mount. I've install it on old one M305- no problem. Very fast shipment (I'm from Poland) and nice tracking. Highly recommended! Best Regards!

Our 3-point anchoring design solves the following problems caused by different receiver manufacturers/standards:

  1. Slightly tapered left-side receiver surface
  2. Slightly incorrectly positioned left-side mounting hole
  3. The mounting groove on the left-side receiver cut too shallow or too narrow
  4. Slightly incorrectly positioned stripper clip guide
  5. Inaccurate stripper clip guide angle

The installation is easy enough for anyone with basic tools: 

Inspired by the Springfield M25 “WhiteFeather" sniper rifle system, our design features three strong anchoring points.

Instead of having to modify the receiver, the BadAce version utilizes the clip guide dovetail channel by adding a steel T-nut that is self-centered once it’s tightened.  This unique design accommodates small dimension differences from various receiver manufacturers. 

The BadAce M1A scope mount is centrally mounted to the receiver so that it is perfectly aligned to the bore.

The original M14 mounting system consists of two mounting slots and one threaded hole on the left side of the receiver. However, different receiver manufacturers have different tolerance on the slots and sometimes even the threaded size. This can create issues for some side-mounting brackets.

Our design is based on the more consistent rear sight base and the clip guide dovetail - this gives us a centrally-aligned mounting system. Also, the dovetail T-nut and the front height-adjustable set screw combination ensure that the scope mount can work on all receivers from different manufacturers and ages.


Our design leaves just enough space for bolt removal so you can still disassemble your rifle and clean it whenever you want. It also allows easy shell ejection. 

M1A bolt

The BadAce M1A mounting system features a low-profile design so you can mount the scope closer to the bore. Our M1A scope mount is CNC precision milled from 7075-T6 billet aluminum - one of the strongest aluminum alloy on the market. 

NOTE: Traditional Picatinny rings typically use a single recoil lug at the bottom. However, we’ve found that some newer rings use two recoil lugs, and those are not compatible with this Picatinny rail. The rear (“tail”) section has only one slot due to limited space.
