UK Arms Lightweight Aluminum Optic Mount with QD Lever for T1 Footprint, Black

Need to run a red dot but your rail is already crowded — or you're building a second optic and don't want to strip everything down? This UK Arms riser snaps a fresh 20mm Picatinny slot on top of the one you've got. Aluminum body, 2.8 ounces, QD lever on top so you can swap or remove a sight in seconds.

What "T1 footprint" means. This mount is cut for the T1 pattern — the same family as C-More and Holosun red dots. The bottom interface mates with optics that share that footprint. If your sight sits on a different pattern, this won't line up. The top surface is a full-length Picatinny rail, so any standard Picatinny mount works there.

Why you'd run it. The simplest use is adding a secondary rail without touching the primary one. If you're running a magnifier or a backup sight alongside a red dot, you can slide that onto the riser while the dot stays on the main platform. The quick-detach lever on top means you don't reach for a tool to remove or reposition a sight.

Build. It's CNC aluminum with a black finish. At 2.8 oz it adds weight, but only enough that you'll notice if you're building something ultralight — most players won't care.

Before you buy. Check your optic's footprint before ordering. The T1 / C-More / Holosun family is wide, but it doesn't cover every red dot pattern. The riser ships as a single piece — the mount only. You need your own sight, batteries, and a tool to install it on the rail.
