Badger Ordnance Condition One (C1) 12 O'Clock Top Optical Platform (12TOP) - Fits Trijicon RMR Footprint Sights - For Use with C1 ARC Ring Cap, Tan Anodized Finish - 700-13
Product Description
Running a high-magnification primary riflescope on a precision carbine or long-range staging layout leaves you with a critical operational deficit at close distances. Sighting a target at close range through a magnified optic creates severe tunnel vision, sluggish scanning speeds, and uncoordinated movement tracking. The **Badger Ordnance® C1 12 O'Clock Top Optical Platform (700-13)** flatlines this tactical barrier, providing a rock-solid secondary mounting deck designed to stack a miniature red dot sight (MRDS) directly over your main scope axis.
Proudly engineered and precision CNC-machined in the United States to uncompromised duty parameters, this **12TOP** platform is cut from a solid block of **6061-T6 structural aerospace aluminum billet**. Built explicitly to interface seamlessly with Badger’s modular **Condition One Accessory Receiver Cap (ARC)** scope rings, it drops directly onto the top-ring mounting lugs without binding. The upper surface is machined to the industry-standard **Trijicon® RMR footprint matrix**, featuring dual integrated indexing pins and deep thread engagement rows. This allows you to mount a rugged open-reflex or enclosed emitter red dot directly at the 12 o'clock position, supporting passive night vision device (NVD) indexing and instantaneous close-quarters target acquisition transitions.
Finished in a durable, non-reflective Mil-Spec Type III desert tan anodized jacket (frequently matching FDE setups) and complete with hardened assembly screws, this modular asset ensures absolute red dot retention directly on your workbench.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance: The Badger Ordnance 700-13 12TOP mount shim arrives unboxed with the machined aluminum platform adapter and premium Torx-head mounting screws. PROPRIETARY INTEGRATED SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY MATRIX: This platform variant **is not a standalone scope ring cap**. It is designed natively, strictly, and exclusively to bolt onto an existing **Badger Ordnance Condition One (C1) Accessory Receiver Cap (ARC)**. *Scope Tube Sizing Notice:* It is compatible across all C1 ARC ring diameters (30mm, 34mm, or 35mm sizes on your bench) because it shares a universal multi-lug mounting pattern on top of the cap itself. Optics Footprint Match Guide: The top indexing posts are patterned specifically to host the **Trijicon RMR / SRO footprint standard**. It also perfectly accepts alternative red dots matching this layout pattern, including the **Holosun® 407C, 507C, and 508T** or specialized enclosed emitters utilizing RMR adapter shims. Armorer Workbench Assembly Sequence: 1. Visually and physically confirm your firearm is completely unloaded, cleared of all live ammunition, and verified safe. 2. Ensure your primary riflescope is already leveled and fully torqued inside your C1 mount base. 3. Place the 12TOP shim flat over the indexing lugs of the C1 ARC ring cap. 4. Apply a micro-drop of medium thread locker to the included short flat-head platform screws. 5. Using a calibrated torque wrench, hand-tighten the plate fasteners to exactly **15 inch-pounds (in-lbs)**. *Critical Over-Torque Warning:* Never exceed the 15 in-lbs threshold, use high-rpm drivers, or apply excessive torque to the optic-to-plate threads, as this will deform your ring tracks or shear the small structural fasteners downrange.*
Key Features
- True 12 O'Clock Optical Alignment: Places a miniature red dot sight dead-center over your primary riflescope, providing an intuitive, upward point-of-aim shift for close-range target tracking.
- Premium 6061-T6 Aluminum Billet: Precision CNC-machined from solid aerospace aluminum block to prevent flexing, thread stripping, or zero drift under heavy recoil.
- Trijicon RMR Footprint Standard: Designed with exact indexing studs and screw spacing to natively anchor Trijicon RMR/SRO or compatible Holosun 507C reflex optics.
- Passive Night Vision Optimization: Stacking your backup optic directly at the 12 o'clock axis provides a high sight-to-bore line, perfect for aiming while wearing night vision goggles.
- Mil-Spec Type III Tan Anodize: Finished in a flat, non-reflective tan hardcoat jacket that blends into FDE / desert camouflage schemas while fighting off moisture and corrosion.
- Universal C1 ARC Compatibility: Interfaces uniformly with any Condition One modular Accessory Receiver Cap across 30mm, 34mm, or 35mm scope tube configurations on the bench.
