Why do I need a riser mount for my AR-15?

A riser mount raises your optic to the ideal height for improved sight alignment, better cheek weld, and co-witnessing with iron sights. It also helps clear fixed front sights or tall handguards.

Are Picatinny risers compatible with all AR-15 optics?

Yes, most Picatinny risers are compatible with any optic that uses a standard Picatinny or Weaver-style mount, which includes most AR-15 red dots and scopes.

What height riser should I use for co-witnessing?

For absolute co-witness, use a riser that places your optic at the same height as your iron sights. For lower 1/3 co-witness, a slightly taller riser—around 1/2 inch—is recommended.

Can I use a quick detach riser on my AR?

Yes, QD risers are ideal for AR-15 builds where you may need to swap optics or remove them for transport. They provide tool-free removal while maintaining zero.
