Product Spotlight: MI Clamp HD Optic Mounts
Overview of the Mark 2 Fixed Mounts
Midwest Industries recently released a line of QD mounts, and now they’ve filled the gap with these non-QD fixed scope mounts. Built for durability and affordability, the new mounts feature two robust steel clamps, three recoil lugs, and four Torx bolts. They maintain compatibility with all optic-specific caps, making them modular and ready for a range of configurations.
Scope Mount Features and Build
The design incorporates a clean, aesthetically pleasing finish while offering strength and precision. All mounts in this line share a unified mounting design, ensuring a solid base whether you're mounting a red dot, Acro, or any optic-specific cap.
Optic Mount Compatibility
The fixed mounts support a broad range of footprints, including Acro, T2, and RMR. They're also available in multiple heights to align properly with Unity magnifiers and flip-to-center accessories. For those using Eotech optics, 1913 risers will also be available.
Height Options and Popular Setups
Mounts are offered from low height up to 2.26 inches. The 2.26 height aligns perfectly with many Unity Tactical accessories and magnifiers. Lower 1/3 co-witness options are also available and remain one of the most popular configurations, offering great visibility and usability for AR-15 builds.
Scope Sizes and Optic Caps
The mounts accommodate both 30mm and 34mm scope tubes and are available in high and standard heights. Optic-specific caps are compatible across the board, allowing setups like 12 o’clock and 45-degree offsets for maximum flexibility.
Interchangeability with QD Models
All parts are cross-compatible between the QD and non-QD versions. If you already own a QD model and want to switch to a fixed mount, the same optic caps will work. This modularity helps users customize without needing to start from scratch.
Final Thoughts and Wrap-up
These new fixed mounts are a strong, modern solution for rifle optics. With rugged steel hardware, clean aesthetics, and broad compatibility, they’re ready to be included in any rifle build. Whether you're building out a new rifle or upgrading your current one, the Mark 2 fixed scope and optic mounts from Midwest Industries offer reliability and precision.
