Buy Brownells not Yankee Hill
Bought the Yankee Hill and it wobbles on my AR rail. Tried it on every other rail I have and it wobbled on all of them. Bought Brownells and it clamps on tighter than a fishes butt. The bolt is large and sticks out a bit more than I would prefer and it is heavy, but obviously well constructed. The Yankee Hill has good reviews about synching down tightly...I have no idea why. If you want to use the Yankee Hill you have to unscrew both screws with an allen wrench almost all of the way out. It is way too painful to do all that for it to rattle when you move your rifle. The Brownells is much easier. Just the single screw to tighten by hand then with a screwdriver for a few turns. Easy, simple and stable. Do yourself a favor, buy Brownells.

Superb Quality!
Used this to mount a Sig STS-081 red dot sight to my S&W 15/22 rifle. Worked perfect! 1/2" height of the mount, lined it right up with the sights, which are now the back-up sights. Thanks Brownells!

44 CARBINE BASE MOUNT
I BOUGHT A ONE INCH HIGH MICRO MOUNT FOR THE 44 CARBINE THAT I HAVE. ITS JUST TOO HIGH. I MEASURED THIS HALF INCH HIGH RISER AND IT WAS PERFECT.

Just what I needed
I have an Armasight Apollo Pro Clip-On thermal sight that I mounted a 3x magnifier behind so I could use it to scan with while not mounted on my rifle. My 3x magnifier was not lined up and I wanted to center it with the thermal scope so I bought this riser. The riser fit easy enough on my extended picatinny rail but when I tried to remount my Eotech 3x magnifier I found, as other have noted, that the top part of the rail is a hair too wide and the Eotech can not be installed on this rail riser. Luckily, I have Vortex 3x magnifier with a different mount and was able to install it instead of the Eotech. I am not sure why it is too wide for the Eotech but it is. Since the Vortex mounts to it, I am all set and don't need to get anything else. The riser puts my Vortex 3x magnifier "dead center" with the thermal Clip-On. Added a couple of pictures to show how it is mounted.
