Unity Tactical FAST Mounts, Optic Risers and Accessories

If you spend any time around serious carbine shooters, cops, or night vision folks, you start to see the same mounts over and over. That is the Unity FAST ecosystem. These mounts, risers and switches show up on rifles that actually get used, not just photographed.

This page is your home base for Unity gear at Mounts Plus. We stock FAST mounts, optic risers, LPVO scope mounts, magnifier mounts and controls so you can build a rifle that is faster to run, easier to shoot with armor or night vision, and more comfortable for long sessions on the range.

What Makes Unity FAST Mounts Different

Most traditional mounts keep optics at a lower height that forces you to crunch your head down behind the gun. FAST solutions flip that approach. They raise the optic to a taller centerline, which helps with:

• A more upright, neutral head position

• Better compatibility with plate carriers and chest rigs

• Passive aiming under night vision goggles

Once you get used to that heads up posture, the old lower mounts tend to feel cramped and dated.

FAST Mounts and Optic Risers

FAST Micro and red dot mounts

Running an Aimpoint Micro footprint or similar mini red dot

FAST Micro mounts are built around that pattern and are a go to choice for:

• Duty and defensive carbines

• Training rifles that see a lot of use

• Shooters who want an optic that is always easy to find behind the gun

Some models also integrate backup sights, which gives you a neat, compact package with less to bolt on.

FAST Optic Riser

Already using an EOTech EXPS or a similar large window sight

The FAST Optic Riser lifts that optic up into FAST territory without making you change the base or buy a new sight. It is ideal if you want to try the taller height with gear on before you switch everything over.

Absolute and accessory risers

To keep everything working together, there are also:

• Absolute risers that bring existing mounts up to the same height as other FAST pieces

• Accessory risers that raise lasers, thermals or small optics so they line up with your main sight

The idea is simple. Your red dot, magnifier and aiming devices should all live in the same visual band so your cheek weld and position do not have to change.

LPVO and Magnifier Mounts

FAST LPVO mounts

Low power variable optics are everywhere now, and FAST LPVO mounts bring that same upright, modern position to 1 4, 1 6 and 1 8 scopes.

Highlights include:

• 30 mm and 34 mm models for common scope tube sizes

• Heights that match other FAST products so rifles feel similar when you switch guns

• Optional top rings on some versions so you can add a mini red dot above the scope

This is a good answer for shooters who want a single rifle that can handle close work and distance while keeping a comfortable head position.

FTC magnifier mounts

The Flip To Center magnifier concept is one of the more clever pieces in the lineup. Instead of swinging out to the side, the magnifier folds down in line with the rifle when not in use. That gives you:

• A slimmer profile with fewer snag points

• Faster transitions between 1x and magnified views

• A setup that still matches the height of FAST red dot mounts and risers

If you like running a magnifier behind a dot but hate the side swing style mounts, this is a smart upgrade.

Switches and Controls

Optics are only part of a modern rifle. Lights and lasers need to be easy to control without breaking your grip. That is where the switching products come in.

On this page you will find:

• Compact switch solutions such as ModButton style controls

• Mounts that attach directly to M LOK slots on the handguard

• Layouts that make it simpler to run white light and IR devices from one consistent hand position

A clean switching setup does not scream for attention in photos, but it pays off every time you work the rifle in low light.

How To Choose the Right Mount or Riser

Start with your optic

Ask yourself which of these you are running:

• Aimpoint Micro footprint

  • Look for FAST Micro mounts and related micro options.

• EOTech EXPS or similar large window sight

  • A FAST Optic Riser is often the easiest way to get to the new height.

• LPVO

  • Choose a FAST LPVO mount in 30 mm or 34 mm to match your scope tube.

• Magnifier behind a red dot

  • Pair your main mount or riser with an FTC magnifier mount so everything lines up.

Think about how you use the rifle

• Night vision, armor, structured classes

  • A full FAST setup with mount, riser and magnifier mount makes a lot of sense.

• Home defense, range days, casual training

  • You might get most of the benefit from just one key piece such as a Micro mount or optic riser.

Plan for switches and accessories

If you know you are going to run both a white light and an IR laser, it can be cheaper and simpler to pick your switching solution now and build your cabling around it instead of redoing everything later.

Platforms That Pair Well With FAST Gear

These mounts and risers are most commonly seen on:

• AR 15 carbines and SBRs

• AR style pistols

• Pistol caliber carbines

• Other rifles with standard Picatinny top rails and M LOK handguards

If your upper has a proper 1913 rail and a free float handguard, you can usually bolt on a FAST mount or riser with no drama.

FAQ

Are FAST mounts really worth it

For shooters who wear armor, use night vision or spend long days on the range, the answer is usually yes. The taller optic height lets you keep your head more neutral, which feels better with gear on and can cut down on neck strain. If you only ever shoot from a bench in a T shirt you may not feel as dramatic a difference, but many people end up preferring the heads up posture anyway.

---

Which mount should I use for an Aimpoint Micro or T2 style optic

If your optic uses a Micro footprint, start with a dedicated FAST Micro mount. It is built for that pattern and gives you the correct height in one piece. If you already own a lower mount that you really like, you can also consider adding an appropriate riser, but the direct mount solution is usually cleaner and simpler.

---

What height are these mounts and risers and why does it matter

Most of the red dot solutions in this family put the optic centerline a little over two inches above the rail instead of the more common one and a half. That extra height helps when you are wearing armor, running ear pro and goggles, or just trying to keep your spine in a more relaxed position during longer strings of fire.

---

Can I run a magnifier behind a FAST setup

Yes. There are FTC magnifier mounts built specifically to work with this height. They flip the magnifier down toward the center of the rifle when not in use, which keeps the gun slim and less likely to catch on gear, and they pop back into place quickly when you need magnification.

---

Will these mounts fit any AR 15 rail

They are designed around standard Picatinny rails. If your AR 15 upper has a true 1913 top rail with enough room in front of the rear sight or receiver, you should be able to bolt them on without any issues. If you are using a very short rail or something proprietary, check dimensions before ordering.

---

Do I need to change my switch setup if I move to a FAST style build

Not always, but you might want to. A lot of shooters who upgrade mounts at the same time take the chance to clean up their light and laser controls. A better switch layout can keep your support hand in a stronger position and reduce the amount of cable hanging off the rifle, which matters once you start moving around in the dark.
