Leapers UTG 3 Slot Compact Riser Mount 83 Medium Compact Height Picatinny Black MNT RS08S3 UPC 4712274526501
Product Description
The Leapers UTG 3-Slot Compact Picatinny Riser Mount (MNT-RS08S3) in Black is a rugged, medium-profile optic elevation platform designed to elevate micro red dot sights, reflex sights, and compact tactical optics on AR-15 and long gun platforms. Featuring an 0.83-inch riser height and a compact 3-slot Picatinny rail length (1.6 inches), this riser raises low-profile optics to an absolute co-witness height when paired with standard AR-15 iron sights.
Precision-machined from high-grade aircraft aluminum, the MNT-RS08S3 features a see-through arch design along the lower body rail channel. This skeletonized geometry allows unhindered use of underlying iron sights while significantly reducing unnecessary front-end weight on the receiver top rail.
Equipped with an ergonomic, quick-adjust side thumb nut and locking plate assembly, the UTG 3-Slot Compact Riser mounts securely to any standard MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny or Weaver rail interface without requiring special tools for field mounting. Finished in a matte black hard-coat anodized surface, it provides dependable zero retention and optimal sight alignment for compact tactical builds.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:*
Fitment Matrix: Direct fitment for standard MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny and Weaver top rails. Ideal for micro red dots (e.g., Aimpoint Micro footprint, Vortex SPARC/Crossfire, Holosun micro dots) requiring an 0.83" rise to achieve absolute co-witness alignment with AR-15 iron sights.
- Ensure the host firearm upper receiver is completely clear, magazine removed, and chamber visually and physically verified empty.
- Clean and degrease the target receiver Picatinny rail section before positioning the riser mount.
- Place the MNT-RS08S3 riser onto the receiver rail, pushing forward toward the muzzle so the cross-bolt seats firmly against the Picatinny recoil slot face.
- Hand-tighten the side thumb nut firmly, then use a coin or flathead tool to apply a final quarter-turn lockup. Mount your red dot sight onto the elevated 3-slot rail section and torque optic screws to specifications.
