The Metal Fast Micro Mount red dot sight riser is the ideal shooting accessory for enthusiasts running Aimpoint micro optics. Made of durable all-metal construction, it balances sturdiness and light weight while providing optimal lower 1/3 co-witness height for rapid target acquisition.
Introduction
The Fast Micro Mount is a purpose-built riser designed to optimize the mounting height of Aimpoint micro red dot sights including the H1, H2, T1, T2, and CompM5 models. For shooters who find the standard low mount insufficient for their needs, this riser provides the ideal elevation for lower 1/3 co-witness with iron sights and faster target acquisition through magnifiers or under night vision devices.
Key Features
Precision-Machined Construction
Crafted from a solid block of 6061-T6 aluminum, this mount is CNC machined to exacting tolerances. The hard-coat anodized finish provides excellent resistance to scratches, corrosion, and the daily wear and tear of field use. Every mounting surface is precision-ground to ensure a perfectly flat interface with both the optic and the rail.
Optimal Height for Versatility
The riser elevates your red dot to a lower 1/3 co-witness height, meaning your iron sights sit in the lower third of the optic window. This configuration offers the best balance between unobstructed sight picture and backup iron sight visibility. It is particularly advantageous when running a flip-to-side magnifier behind the red dot, as it aligns the optical centers for a seamless transition between magnified and unmagnified views.
Broad Compatibility
Designed to fit all Aimpoint Micro series optics, this mount is compatible with:
- Aimpoint H1 and H2
- Aimpoint T1 and T2
- Aimpoint CompM5 and CompM5s
- Holosun 403/503/515 series (same footprint)
- Sig Sauer ROMEO4/ROMEO5 series
- Vortex Crossfire/SPARC (with adapter)
Lightweight Yet Robust
Weighing only 45 grams, this mount adds negligible weight to your rifle setup while providing rock-solid stability. The cross-bolt clamping system ensures even pressure distribution across the rail interface, preventing shift under recoil. The hardened steel hardware resists stripping and maintains torque settings through thousands of rounds.
Technical Specifications
- Material: 6061-T6 Aluminum with Hard-Coat Anodizing
- Weight: 45g (1.6 oz)
- Height: Lower 1/3 Co-Witness (approx. 39mm to optical center)
- Rail Compatibility: MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny
- Optic Footprint: Aimpoint Micro Standard
- Hardware: Grade 8 Steel Bolts with Nylok Patches
Installation Guide
Mounting is straightforward. First, attach the riser to your Picatinny rail using the included cross-bolts, ensuring it sits flush against the rail slot. Torque to 25 inch-pounds. Next, mount your red dot sight to the riser using the four screws provided with your optic, tightening in a cross-pattern to 12 inch-pounds. Verify zero at your preferred distance; the precision-machined rail interface typically requires minimal adjustment after remounting.
Conclusion
The Fast Micro Mount is a smart upgrade for anyone using Aimpoint micro red dot sights who wants improved ergonomics and faster sight acquisition. Its all-metal construction, precise machining, and thoughtful height selection make it an excellent value. Whether you are building a duty rifle, a competition carbine, or a hunting setup, this riser mount delivers the performance and reliability serious shooters demand.
