AD mount for Aimpoint Comp M2/M68

• Quick-detach repeatability: American Defense’s QD Auto Lock lever system lets the mount come off and go back on quickly while maintaining a consistent rail interface, which is valuable when an optic must be removed for transport, maintenance, or backup-sight access.
• Low-profile mounting height: The 13.00 mm low configuration keeps a 30 mm tube red dot close to the rail, helping create a compact setup for platforms where extra height is unnecessary.
• Secure 30 mm fit: Built for Aimpoint Comp M2/M68-pattern 30 mm red dots, this mount gives broad ring contact and a stable hold, supporting dependable alignment under regular field use.
• Rail tolerance flexibility: The lever system is designed to fit in-spec and out-of-spec Picatinny rails, which helps users move the optic between different rifles without needing a proprietary adjustment tool.
• Aluminum construction: The aluminium body keeps weight under control while providing the rigidity needed for a red dot mount that is repeatedly attached and removed.

About the AD Red Dot Mounts Series

American Defense AD Red Dot Mounts are built as a dedicated family of quick-detach mounts for compact and full-size red dot optics used on carbines, rifles, and other firearm platforms. Within the American Defense lineup, the series covers mounts for optics such as Aimpoint Micro, Trijicon MRO, and Aimpoint CompM2/M68 models, giving shooters a consistent mounting system across different sight footprints and use cases.

A defining feature across much of the range is the patented QD Auto Lock lever system. Its practical advantage is not just fast removal, but the ability to adjust the mount without proprietary tools while accommodating both in-spec and out-of-spec Picatinny rails. The series also spans several height options, including low, co-witness, lower 1/3 co-witness, high, and night-vision configurations, so the same design approach can be matched to different stock heights, iron-sight setups, and shooting positions. Depending on model, mounts are offered with standard, TAC, or titanium levers, allowing the user to balance simplicity, handling preference, and weight.

About the AD mount for Aimpoint Comp M2/M68

The AD mount for Aimpoint Comp M2/M68 is a dedicated 30mm red dot sight mount for shooters using full-size tube-style optics on a Picatinny rail. In this low version, the mount places the optic close to the bore line, which suits rifles and platforms where a compact sight picture and minimal added height are preferred. That makes it a sensible choice for traditional rifle stocks, chassis systems, or setups where an elevated AR-style co-witness height is not required.

The mount’s main functional advantage is American Defense’s QD Auto Lock lever system. In practical use, this gives the shooter a fast way to remove the optic without turning the setup into a semi-permanent installation. It is also designed to fit both in-spec and out-of-spec rail dimensions, which matters when one optic may be shared across several rifles or when rail tolerances vary from one platform to another. The lever can be adjusted without proprietary tools, so routine fitting is straightforward.

For durability, the mount uses an aluminium body and a ring format intended for Aimpoint Comp M2/M68-pattern optics and other compatible 30 mm tube red dots. The result is a stable interface that supports repeatable positioning and secure clamping. With compatibility extending to a broad range of Picatinny-equipped rifles, this American Defense red dot mount fits well into hunting optics, range rifles, and general-purpose tactical optics setups where quick removal and dependable reattachment are priorities.
