lbsrdi 1,078 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have been wanting one of these mounts but can't seem to find one for the FF3. The ones I have found are for the FF1&2. Any options out there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JESS1344 508 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 KING, GO DIRECTLY TO THEIR W-SITE, IF YOU'RE L.E., THEY'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE OFF, OR THEY USED TO. JESS1344 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 The problem I see is that the Burris version of the mount does not look like it allows access to the on/off button on the FF3. I have not been able to find one for the FF3 on their site. On their site it says 'for all typs of FF' in the description, but to me it seems it would need the access hole in a different location for the FF3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JESS1344 508 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 KING, I'M UNCLEAR ON WHETHER OR NOT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A FF III. IF NOT, HERE'S ONE FROM OPTICS PLANET, WITH THE WINGED PROTECTOR.

lbsrdi 1,078 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Sorry, OK I do own the FF3 with the basic picitiny baseplate. I am wanting the protective mount but it does not look like the ones I am seeing would work. I believe the one you are talking about is the one with riser for an AR. I will post a pic of what I am wanting. . See how the opening will not accommodate the button on the FF3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JESS1344 508 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 KING, YES, THAT'S THE SAME AS I HAVE ON MY FF II ON A S-12. I ORIGINALLY HAD JUST THE FF II MOUNTED, BUT IT JUST LOOKED TOO NAKED AND VUNERABLE UP THERE, SO I GOT THE WINGED PROTECTOR FOR IT. I'LL SEE IF I CAN RUN THAT PIECE DOWN ON THEIR W-SITE, BRB.

JESS1344 508 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) KING, IT'S IN THE BELOW PRICE LIST, ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY DOWN, P/N 410348. YOU CAN SEE THE WINDOW ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS MOUNT, THROUGH WHICH YOU CAN ACTIVATE THE ON/OFF SWITCH.

lbsrdi 1,078 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I really do appreciate you trying to help, the problem with that mount is that it rises the sight for an AR. The opening on that one is what I need the opening on the protective wing mount to be like. The wing mount sits closer to the rail than the one you have pictured. Maybe my option is to buy one like you use with the FF2, and just file the opening to allow access to the button on the FF3. I think that is what I may do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lbsrdi 1,078 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Ok, here is the deal. The mounts were all updated in December to accommodate the FF3. The sites such as Optics planet simply haven't updated their pictures to show this.(and description) So buy with confidence that they will work with all models. Why I started a thread without first calling? I can't answer that one. Lol . But it may help someone else, thanks Jess1344. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JESS1344 508 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 KING, THANKS, GOOD INFO, AS I AND A BUD EACH HAVE A FF III ON TWO CENTURY C39 CENTURION PISTOLS AND A RIFLE OR TWO. AS WITH THE FF II ON MY S-12, THEY JUST LOOK TOO NEKKID UP THERE WITH NOTHING ON THEM BUT THAT LITTLE PLASTIC DOGHOUSE. AT THE POINT IN TIME THAT I BOUGHT THESE FOUR FF III'S, A YEAR AGO, THERE WAS NO WINGED PROTECTOR, AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE EARLY '13 BEFORE THEY WERE DESIGNED AND ON THE STREET. THE FF II PROTECTOR IS NOTICEABLY CHEAPER THAN THAT 410348 ($130!). DID YOU HAPPEN TO MAKE NOTE OF WHO YOU SPOKE TO AT BURRIS? JESS1344 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 No I did not, sorry. That is something I usually do when calling companies but didn't even pay attention. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Thought I would post a pic of the mount I got to show the new opening for the BFF3. Maybe this will help someone who stumbles upon this thread in the future. Thought I would post a pic of the mount I got to show the new opening for the BFF3.

lbsrdi 1,078 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Optics Planet, $59.84, #410330, no it does not fit. I used this coupon code : bx5sm9n Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JESS1344 508 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 KING, MANY THANKS BROTHER, I HAVE ONE, AND MY BUD HAS 3, THAT NEED TO GET "WINGED-UP"! THEY LOOK A WHOLE LOT LESS VUNERABLE, AND ARE, THAN WITHOUT THE PROTECTOR. JESS1344 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 With that offset grip mount on the left and the charging handle on the right, my gun will not lay on its side without rolling over on the sight. This mount allows me to set it down on the table at the range without damaging the sight. As far as protecting it if it fell, I think I would still be fucked, as the sight is not encapsulated. But it certainly is much more protected with the wings. For a non safe queen S12 that gets tossed around a little with a Fastfire or similar, I certainly recommend it. They do make mounts that protect these sights better, but I think this works well for what I needed. Now if I had a trijicon or something else more expensive then the FF I would have went with the more expensive protective mount. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JESS1344 508 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 KING, ACTUALLY, AFTER PERUSING THEIR SITE A BIT, THAT'S NOT A FF III IN THAT PICTURE, IT'S A PRIDE-FOWLER RED DOT. I HAVE AN EMAIL INTO LARUE TO SEE IF THAT PROTECTIVE MOUNT WILL ALSO FIT THE FF III. WHILE SCOPING OUT PRIDE-FOWLER'S SITE, I DID COME ACROSS THIS NEAT LITTLE MOUNT. KEEPS YOU FROM HAVING TO SCREW AROUND WITH THOSE TEENIE-WEENIE ADJUSTMENT SCREWS. UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S STILL OPEN ON THE TOP. JESS1344 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Very nice, I like that. To me it looks like they make good stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JESS1344 508 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 KING, UH-OH, THAT LARUE MOUNT ONLY FITS THE PRIDE-FOWLER RED DOT SIGHT. SEE MY COMMO WITH LARUE BELOW. SEEMS LIKE YOU EITHER GO WITH THE FF III AND ONE OF THE OPEN TOPPED MOUNTS, OR GO WITH THE PRIDE-FOWLER WITH THE OVERHEAD PROTECTION: Jesse,No, the Pride Fowler LT 624 will not work with the Fast Fire as there is no cut out for the On/Off switch. We do not have a mount like the LT 624 for the Fast Fire, we discontinued the Iron Dot mounts for the Fast Fire last year.
