My guess is it saves some weight. Frankly it reminds me of a fancy PEPR mount. IMO, they need a QD design or a more streamlined focus on weight like the Aero mounts. On the other hand, they have a DOD contract, so it's not like they need the civi sales. Not to mention some people will buy it just because of the DOD contract.

View Quote So, it's space shuttle door gunner approved. Love me some G, but I don't see my LRT mounts going anywhere any time soon. Will be interesting to see what the rtz performance is like. |

Maybe if I could find a receiver set and rail that matched that color.

So what's with all of the people saying they will get rid of their LT104s when we don't have any details other than a pic? This thing looks like it is probably going to be either the same weight or heavier and I doubt it will be any cheaper. It's also butt ugly. View Quote I will buy everyone's LT104's. IM me when selling. |

Yep, needs more QD.
Look, the majority of us are not.mil and not in a warzone, but it would be a nice thing to have in case the glass or the mount ever breaks. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Looks good and top quality as usual with everything of theirs. |

Only so much room in the safes and I would have to buy another safe if I kept all the optics mounted. |

I certainly do not think adding a QD line of those mounts will hurt Geissele but then again, i'm only an internet arm chair commando! |

I can't wait to see folded BUIS under non QD mounts. All those extra machine cuts add cost and machine time. But looks, hell yea! Salient Arms must have influenced this.

View Quote Because Salient influenced their rails... The SMRs are both aesthetically pleasing and solid as hell. It seems that "G" is aiming for both in this mount, while using a new material that is stronger and lighter than typical Al alloys. |

To each his own. But machine cuts for aesthetics add nothing but cost.

The alloy is intriguing. As for price point, I'm thinking Sphur.

To each his own. But machine cuts for aesthetics add nothing but cost. View Quote What if the machine cuts are there to reduce weight and aren't there for aesthetics? Since this is for a DOD contract they had certain requirements that needed to be met. If an aluminum/lithium alloy was used, I am assuming a weight was specified. The cuts may have been made for met the weight requirements of the customer as well. Considering that Al-Li alloys are used by NASA for space purposes, I am speculating that this won't be priced at a point the average consumer can afford. I'd be interested to see if the civilian, non-lithium alloy version includes these cuts. |

"While he wasn’t ready to offer pricing, he said his company will release two versions of the mounts in spring 2016. One will be a premium version made of advanced Aluminum Alloy 2099, and the other will be an as-yet-to-be-determined aluminum alloy; our guess is either 7075 or its stronger brother, 7055."

I'm sure it's nice, but based on the color alone my next mount will be another LaRue.
