- description
Optic height is not cosmetic. A micro red dot on a low mount sits below the line a helmet, a mask or a set of night vision wants your head to be, so you end up craning down to find the dot. Raising the optic brings the sight line up to where your head already is, and the shooting position stops being a compromise.
This riser puts the centre of the optic 2.33 in above a 1913 Picatinny rail. At that height the backup irons are visible through the body of the mount rather than buried underneath it, so the mechanical sights stay usable as a fallback instead of becoming decoration.
There is a section of 1913 rail integrated into the mount, which is the part people miss. It gives a magnifier somewhere to live at the same height as the optic, and it also clears lights and lasers mounted further forward that would otherwise sit in the sight picture.

Good to know before you buy
Changing optic height changes where the dot lands, so the gun needs re-zeroing after this goes on. Bring it to a game day at Skirmish Wycombe Airsoft and we can help you zero it.
A tall mount puts more leverage on the rail, so check the clamp screws after the first game rather than after the fifth.
This is for the AP Micro footprint. An MRO, RMR or holographic sight uses a different base and will not bolt straight on.
Frequently asked questions
Why would I want the optic that high?
Two reasons. It brings the sight line up to a natural head position behind a mask or helmet, and it clears anything mounted forward on the rail out of the sight picture.
Will my irons still work?
That is the point of this height. The backup sights line up through the mount body rather than being hidden below the optic.
Can I run a magnifier with it?
Yes. The integrated rail section is there for exactly that, and it puts the magnifier on the same optical axis as the sight.
Does it fit any red dot?
It takes the AP Micro footprint, which is what T1 and T2 pattern red dots use. Other footprints need their own mount.
Will it fit a weaver rail rather than Picatinny?
It is cut for 1913 Picatinny. A weaver rail has different slot spacing, so fitment is not guaranteed and we would not recommend it.
