What is the best AR-15 mount for a red dot sight?

The best AR-15 mount for a red dot sight depends on your rail height and preferred co-witness setup. Riser mounts with Picatinny compatibility are ideal for absolute or lower 1/3 co-witnessing.

Are AR-15 mounts universal?

Most AR-15 mounts are compatible with MIL-SPEC Picatinny or M-LOK rails, making them largely universal for modern AR-15 platforms.

Can I mount a scope on a carry handle AR-15?

Yes, carry handle scope mounts allow you to install optics while preserving your iron sight setup. They are ideal for classic AR-15 A1/A2 builds.

What's the difference between Picatinny and M-LOK mounts?

Picatinny mounts use a raised rail system, while M-LOK mounts attach through slots for a lower profile. M-LOK is lighter, but both are secure and widely supported.
