AD mount for Trijicon MRO

• Quick-detach lever system: American Defense’s patented QD Auto Lock lever lets the mount come off and return to the rail quickly, which is useful when switching optics or removing the sight for transport and maintenance.
• Repeatable Picatinny fit: Built for the Trijicon MRO and compatible with Picatinny rails, this mount is made for secure, repeatable positioning so the optic can be reinstalled with minimal shift in setup.
• 24.00 mm height: The mount height keeps the optic at a practical level for fast sight acquisition on rifles and carbines, helping the shooter settle behind the red dot naturally.
• Aluminium construction: The aluminium body keeps weight under control while still providing the rigidity needed for hard use on sporting, tactical, and field rifles.
• Made in the USA: Domestic manufacture and American Defense’s established focus on firearm mounting systems make this a practical choice for users who want a purpose-built red dot mount rather than a generic adapter.

About the AD Red Dot Mounts Series

American Defense AD Red Dot Mounts are a dedicated family of optic mounts built around compact reflex and red-dot sights used on modern rifles, carbines, and similar firearm platforms. Within the company’s lineup, this series covers footprints such as Aimpoint Micro, Trijicon MRO, and Aimpoint CompM2/M68, giving shooters a platform-specific mounting solution instead of a one-size-fits-all design. A defining feature across many models is the patented QD Auto Lock lever system, which is designed for fast attachment and removal while still fitting both in-spec and out-of-spec Picatinny rails.

The series is aimed at users who need a dependable interface between optic and weapon, whether for hunting optics, defensive carbines, competition rifles, or general range use. Mounting heights vary across the range, including low, co-witness, lower 1/3 co-witness, high, and night-vision configurations, so the shooter can match the optic position to the firearm and shooting style. The design philosophy is straightforward: keep the mount light, keep the lockup repeatable, and make adjustment simple without proprietary tools. That makes the series especially relevant for shooters who move optics between platforms or want quick-detach convenience without giving up a stable rail connection.

About the AD mount for Trijicon MRO

The AD mount for Trijicon MRO is a dedicated red dot sight mount made for shooters who want a clean, repeatable interface between the Trijicon MRO and a Picatinny rail. Because it is purpose-built around the MRO footprint, it avoids the compromises that can come with universal adapters and keeps the optic properly aligned on the rifle. In practical use, that means a more secure installation, simpler setup, and easier removal when the optic needs to be transferred or the rifle packed down.

This version uses a 24.00 mm build height, which gives the optic a natural presentation for fast target acquisition on compatible rifles and carbines. For a red dot setup, mount height matters because it influences head position, speed on target, and how comfortably the sight picture appears during rapid strings or improvised shooting positions. The result is a setup that supports the MRO’s strength as a fast, both-eyes-open sight.

The mount body is made from aluminium, balancing low weight with the stiffness needed to keep the optic stable under regular field and range use. As part of American Defense’s detachable mount family, it is intended for users who value quick handling and repeatable reinstallation. That makes it well suited to practical rifle setups where the optic may be removed for transport, maintenance, or replacement with another sighting system while still keeping the mounting process simple and consistent.
