I looked at several kinds of mounts for AR picatinny rails and that research helped me choose the best option me. Optics Planet provided the best price that I could find.Pros: quality construction, ease of useCons: none

This base well fits my Aimpoint Comp M4S. The bulky knob of the M4S was creating me some difficulties and I️ replaced it with this lever base and I’m totally happy with it. Only the color of the lever is slightly lighter and brighter than what shows in the picture.

This system works great. Once it is set, it is set. All you have to do is get your spacers right and then you are good to go. I have put all my red dots on some sort of Quick release system. The Aimpoint comp M4 comes with a good system, so I didn't have to do anything there.My reasons for quick release. I am concerned about EMP. The bad guys have access to this tech, as well as concerns of a false flag event. Please, don't think I'm nuts on this: pull your head out of the sand and READ. I have talked with red dot techs from different companies and they cannot guarantee that their circuitry will survive an EMP. I have put all my red dots and red dot backups in EMP proof bags to protect them. If the lights go out, mine will still be on. The great thing about this quick release is that it has a cross bar stabilizer and returns to zero when you take it on and off: put it in an EMP bag to protect it and then pull it out when you need it.Hope that helps.Pros: returns to zero after you remove and put back onCons: None

Can't stress how important it is to get the correct piece for your project. I went thru two separate orders (one with OpticsPlanet and another vendor) for the similar but still wrong mount for my Aimpoint CompM5. Once I got the correct mount, mounting the optic on the rifle was a breeze. Do your research to find the right mount before assuming and remember that all mounts are not the same.Might see some gaps after tightening the mount (with the 39mm spacer, in my case) with the optic. Having ordered a complete optic with mount and spacer prior, I noticed the same on that mount as well when comparing. Rock-solid after finding the sweet spot on the Torison Nut.

Pretty solid QD mount, but the reason I am giving this a 4 star it is pretty bulky, not to mention that lever should have optional colors. I rather use the old knob mount and maybe I'll check out the Midwest Industries T-1 QD Mount.

I bought this to use on Ultimak rail with my AK. This provides good 1/3 lower cowitness. One thing a user must decide is what the backup strategy is. A red dot shifts the POA of the irons slightly, so one should decide if the quick release is the backup or lower cowitness. And short distance it likely will not matter much, but for longer distances the shift can be several inches.
