Has anyone mounted their M3/ML3 in Larue's flip mount. I ask because a friend was telling me a story of how he tripped into a mudpit, which completely covered his weapon, and he couldn't see through his aimpoint. if this was actually in a fight, and you didn't have the time to wipe off the optic, or detach it and get it into your pouch; wouldn't the flip mount be really useful? you could just flip it to the side and use the irons.

i've handled one of the mounts and it seems really sturdy to use as a regular mount and i believe the tubes of both the RDS and the MAG are the same (30mm), so sorry if it seems like a dumb question
