How about a two year update. It's nice to know what the initial evaluation results are, but even better to how something holds up in the long run.

With the ADM Aimpoint mount, it turned out to be a mixed bag. First of all, the early Gen 1 mount that I reviewed above is still going strong. It still lives on the same carbine and has seen some decent use. It’s a keeper.

Since the first mount worked so well I picked up a second one for a new Aimpoint ML3. This version was ADM's updated Gen 2. It was assembled with thread-locker, but shot loose almost immediately. I figured that I hadn't snugged the screws down sufficiently, so prior to the next range trip I ensured they were torqued down and thread locker was again applied. The next range session met with the same results. The defective mount was sent back to ADM and shortly thereafter, a replacement arrived. However, the new mount experienced the same issues and was also sent back. Today I tried yet another one, just to experience the exact same problems. It shot loose within one 20 round mag. The play appears to be where the bottom of the rings secure to the base of the mount. When shooting at 50 yards, my shot group barely stayed on the 8.5”x11” paper. I was able to get about 40 MOA of vertical movement when shifting the loose mount by hand. I’m at a loss as to why the first mount performed so well and the subsequent ones…not so much.
