American Defense Mfg AD-170-VPG Riser – 0.60" Height – 5 Slot QD
The American Defense AD-170-VPG-5LUG-STD (818503011986) is a precision-engineered Quick Detach (QD) riser designed to provide a rock-solid, elevated mounting platform for optics, magnifiers, and tactical accessories. Offering a 0.60-inch rise above the mounting surface, this riser is the "Standard" height solution for shooters who need improved sight alignment or clearance over top-mounted lasers and front sight posts. The 5-lug (5-slot) configuration provides ample rail space for larger footprint accessories while maintaining a compact overall length of just 2.3 inches.
Machined from a solid block of 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a Mil-Spec Type III hardcoat anodizing, this riser is built for a lifetime of professional use. It features American Defense’s patented Auto Lock™ Lever system, which allows for instant, tool-free attachment and detachment. Unlike other QD systems, the ADM lever is fully adjustable with your finger or a flat-blade screwdriver, ensuring a perfect fit on both mil-spec and out-of-spec rail systems. This "VPG" (Variable Picatinny Geometry) mount is particularly favored for use with the Vortex Impact 4000, Surefire weapon lights, or any optic that requires a slight elevation to achieve a more ergonomic "heads-up" shooting posture.
Includes: AD-170-VPG Riser Mount with Standard QD Lever and Mounting Hardware.
