Good value & solid, but a little quirky
They give me just the right level of scope clearance for my fixed A2 front sight. Earlier review reported inability to tighten down. Unconventional in that they need a bit of torque. You need to literally pinch them onto the rail.

Yankee Hill Mini Riser Assy
I use this to support my Aimpoint on my M&P 15-22. Beware, it is a one-piece unit in that I was not able to loosen it enough to slide it onto the rail from the side but had to slip it on from the rear. If you don't have access to either end of the rail, good luck. Once on, it clamps tightly, is well made and does the job. Made by Yankee Hill who seem to use this one-piece clamping design.
