McCann Industries MIRS mounts for Big Bore Rifles
Some years back we were asked
whether our mounts could stand up to
the recoil forces encountered when
scopes and night vision devices were
attached to the truly big bore military
rifles...specifically those firing the .338
Lapua and the .50 Caliber Browning
cartridge. (The .338 Lapua by
McMillan is pictured at the top of the
page with our mount. The photos
below are of the McMillan TAC-50
with our MC-50 Mount.)
The forces involved are, to put it
lightly, substantial; especially when
coupled with being loaded and
unloaded off of vehicles and aircraft, rough field handling, and the abuse a heavy rifle and its attachments
can go through in a combat zone.
Our research and development team
thickened and strengthed our existing MIRS
design until it could more than handle the
stresses we knew would be an inevitable
result of battlefield use. The resulting line
of mounts has served well for years in
places like Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as
with law enforcement in the US and in
peace-keeping actions around the globe.
But the times they are a’changing...
Larger optics and imaging devices, such as
the Magnum Universal Night Sight (the
MUNS...weighing over 3 pounds) create
greater “whiplash” and stress on mounts and attachments. The cartridges themselves are getting “hotter”
and the rifles are becoming more numerous and therefore more commonly placed in abusive environments.
Attachment points are necessary for vital new battlefield tools (the STORM for example) and more
flexibility is therefore required even as mounts will need to be stronger and more durable while remaining
light in weight.
An example of our design upgrades has been
in the use of “full gussets” for mounts facing
heavy calibers and heavier attachments. In
this photo below one can clearly see how the
side gussets change the appearance of the
mount.
What is more difficult to see is the effect on
strength. The wedge shaped gussets more
than double the ability of the mount to stand
up to the stresses involved, while adding
only 4 ounces in weight to the mount.
