Aimpoint CompM5s

The CompM5 series belongs to the most recent generation of Aimpoint devices. It came into existence due to a requirement by a client of the US State Department, for a device with T-2 capabilities, but powered by more readily available AAA batteries. 

A T-2 compatible with AAA batteries is an accurate description of the CompM5 series.

The CompM5s we sell comes without mount. We do not believe the ruggedness of Aimpoint’s LRP mounts are on par with their devices and we encourage end users to seek alternative mounts such as Spuhr, Scalarworks, Geissele, Reptilia, BCM, Daniel Defense, Unity Tactical, Arisaka, etc. in the desired mount height. 

Please note: the CompM5s uses a T-2 footprint but, due to the battery in the lower position, the body of optic already sits 17 mm (0.67 inches) higher than a T-2 or CompM5. For the desired height, a CompM5s/CompM5b specific mount must be used.

We recommend using exclusively lithium AAA batteries with this device.

We recommend using Loctite 243 on the mounting screws.

- In the CompM5s, the battery compartment has been relocated to a lower position in order to reduce the profile of the device and improve field of view

What are the differences between the T-2 and the CompM5 series?
- Although they share the same footprints, the CompM5s and CompM5b sit at a slightly taller height than the T-2 and the regular CompM5

- The CompM5 is larger and heavier
- The CompM5 have a Comp-style intensity adjustment knob, the T-2 has a side wheel-type adjustment cap
