The MFI ultra compact mount (Hk parts exclusive) is finally back in stock. I’ve been waiting like 6 months. Grab one if you’re looking because they take forever to restock.

Red dot mount, only drawback is it replaces rear sight. I have one and love it.

Here are the instructions from MI on installing it, the main thing is removing all 4 clamps before sliding it on the gun making sure the recoil lug on the receiver nests into the cutout on the underside of the rail, then one by one slipping the clamp bits in there and fishing it around until you can get the screw to start in the threads. I used fine tweezers to help. Just barely start each one until all four are started and then tighten them evenly, or else it could sit at an angle. Should look like this paint cutaway diagram. Red is the rail, blue are the clamp bits, and black is the receiver. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/157876/3532-2638864.jpg View Quote That looks like a helpful diagram. This thread seems to be informative as well. |

I really like the MFI low profile mount. Plus there is one in the EE for a good deal (LINK).
Mine is slightly different because it has the taper in the front, but that is it. Pic of mine: |

I ordered this one MFI Ultra Low Profile Red Dot Mount and it arrived in under a week.
Quality seems high and it is extremely light weight. I haven’t installed it yet though. |

View Quote I have always liked these types of mount/ sight combo but have never tried it be out. Serious question, with only one mounting/ holding section, does the sight drift to the left or right the further out you get? I’m asking if that mount holds the sight straight or true to the alignment of the barrel. I know it locks into the lug on the top of the receiver but those tolerances are not made to be precision tight n each firearm. Any issues bumping it and it being off? I’m sure you will say no to all questions because you obviously like the mount but just curious. |

View Quote I’ve been waiting for something like this to come out, but they only show the one side. I’m hoping they did screws on each side as that is the downfall of the shield mount. It doesn’t have enough adjustment to fit all receivers with the variances in them. I had a shield mount for about 20 seconds until it tore the shit out of my mke and wouldn’t secure correctly. Not a great design (unless they’ve put a screw on either side) |

Not a great design (unless they’ve put a screw on either side) View Quote They are made VERY similar to the Shield. So one screw. I have never seen the copy one in person. The Shield one that I have took a lot of fitting. When I first installed it. It got stuck just shy of going on all the way. Then it wouldn't come off either. I beat on that thing for over an hour maybe two, with a nylon hammer and pry bar. I was seriously about to cut it off. When it did come off. I had to file on the attached leg's claw to get it to fit. It was disappointing at first to say the least. However it fits perfectly now. You can see from the picture that the Cowiness is absolute. For me the circle cross hair dot is perfect for very quick accurate shots well out past what I would use it for, and if I have an issue with the sight. Well I'm already lined up with them to. It does all of this and is rock solid. Then one has to really appreciate the weight and footprint. This for me was the appeal of the set up. However after using it. It is so natural and quick. Once you lock in your cheek weld. You can't miss the dot. So now the footprint and weight are just the icing on the cake for me. |

Machinewerks has delayed the release of the LoPro Mp5 MDRS mount to accommodate the mounting lugs on different guns.
It looks like have removed some material from the bottom side to clear different mounting lugs and are also adding set screws to the top of the mount to provide another adjustment point. Its worth the wait for me. I spent a lot of time grinding on the SHIELD mount to get it to fit my AP5-P, it's not coming off any time soon. I don't want to repeat that exercise again for my AP5 |

Ho Lee Foooooook, I just received the B&T Low mount. That thing is Amazing! At first I was like. OK it's clean light and low. Let's see how it fits.
I've had trouble installing the Chinese so called MKE mount that was a bitch to line up and get the screws in to the claws. Then the cheap Chinese Pot Metal claws stripped out. Then Century sent me replacement claws. They all stripped out. So I was like screw that POS! Now the B&T. I put the two claws in on the solid driver side just a turn or two and popped it on. Without anything tightened. This thing went on like the most perfect jigsaw puzzle piece. Tick and it was on with zero movement. Inserted the other two screws slid the feet into place until I felt the screw land in the hole gave it a couple twists and voila! Lightly snug them up in a Criss-Cross pattern and continue to do so till it was good and snug. It was like damn this receiver and mount literally could not mate together any better. Too bad it only gives you lower 1/3 co-witness and not true Co Witness. B&T needs to make the AimPoint micro mount that Botach makes with the true co-witness. It just goes to show you that B&T makes damn good stuff. |

I just received my MFI HK-LOW-MP5K-SLOTS https://mfiap.com/i-23899698-mfi-special-scope-mount-for-hk-mp5k-to-have-greater-space-between-the-over-mold-cocking-handle-the-end-of-the-rail-also-fits-all-hk-mp5-variants-including-hk-sp5-all-clones-not-for-22-lr-price-includes-usps-priority-shipping-insurance.html
This is mounted to my MKE AP5. The finish and machining is high quality. The clamps are captured with a retaining pin and swivel. As you apply torque to the screws, it clamps and digs in harder. Even though I have not shot with it yet, I'm pretty confident that it will never loosen. I did add a tiny bit of locktite for added protection. There is a little gap between the receiver and mount, but they are even. I like that it's extended so I can move my red dot back, instead of over the ejection port like most brands. My vote is for the MFI. |

The B&T mount is superior in literally every way. They mounted up even to the "out of spec" clones, and every one of them went on level. They also include hardware that you can actually put torque on without stripping, and have ears that cover and protect the clamps. Literally a better mount in every way over MFI, and I didn't have to dance around the install by loosening, tightening, loosening etc just to get them on square like I did with MFI. |
