I guess the reason I started thinking about it is that I'm switching back to Aimpoints from EOTechs and that gives me options of mounts.
I typically like to examine why we do what we've always done. THIS IS NOT A FIXED FSB vs BUIS or a "IRONS ARE PRIMARY OVER OPTIC" DEBATE. If the battery dies and the glass is intact it can help in iron sight alignment since the sight pic is centered in the glass. Less height over bore and the rifle is less bulky overall.Ģ. The way I see it, an absolute can have some advantages.ġ. If you damage the glass then it's moot because you probably can't see well enough through it so it'll have to come off. On a rifle with flip up iron sights where the optic is the primary sight method, why are we still using lower 1/3? The optics are super robust and have long battery life so it dying is of little concern.
On a fixed FSB rifle, it's a no brainer right? Why do we use a lower 1/3 cowitness instead of absolute? The Aimpoint Micro T1 Mount is precision CNC machined from a block of 6061 T6 aluminum and finished in hard coat type 3 mil-spec anodized black for a rock hard lasting finish.Sitting here in NC by the fire during the blizzard of 2016 I had a thought (scary shit). There were others, but by listing them we would compromise our trade secrets. It must be extremely robust, and withstand shock and impact to the system housing. It must be easy to manipulate by gloved or fatigued hands. The pressure must be applied in a linear direction centered in the main body to prevent cocking of the mount. The force must be substantial to prevent any shift forward/aft left/right. The unit will utilize constant force to ensure required pressure in all conditions. The safety must be able to be manipulated in conjunction with the lever rotation, so that only one hand is required to open it. The system must incorprate a safety that prevents the lever from being accidentally opened. Unit must not shoot loose due to improper mounting or a mechanical bottoming out. The unit must always repeat the forward shift (recoil forces direction of influence) not only to maximize zero repeatability, but to take this step of installation out of the users initial mounting sequence. The device must also index parallel to the bore. This must include synthetic (plastic/polymer/composite) rail systems.Īuto Index capability. The rail must not experience any deformation due to user error. Must lock with enough pressure to positively attach any device or optical instrument to a rail without movement, static or dynamic forces not withstanding. It needs to be 100% self contained and mate securely to any rail without the user having to tailor the pressure/engagement position. Must be completely tool and user adjustable free. Must be compatible with any 1913 Specification Rail, to include systems that are out of specification (within reason) and this includes Weaver rails. The Aimpoint Micro T1 Mount features patent pending BLAC lever system which was designed around the following parameters: The Aimpoint Micro T1 Mount comes with all tools necessary for installation. When just using the low base, lever can only be used on the left side. Like all BLAC mounts, the lever can be mounted any side or direction. The riser features rear serrations to minimize glare. The system is modular and can utilize offset risers as well as cantilevered risers.

It features the patent pending BLAC lever system which requires no manual adjustment to attain a proper, rock solid engagement on a 1913 Picatinny rail. The Aimpoint Micro T1 Mount provides an ultra low interface for weapons such as the AK and Shotgun.
