I've got enough manufacturing experience to understand why a company might not be able to keep up on stock levels, especially within a market that is as volatile and fad prone as the gun market.

BUT, I also think that many companies use logistics as an excuse.

They've currently got this mount for one footprint; obviously I haven't looked at their demand/distribution/etc. analysis, but as a customer I'd like to see them expand manufacturing capabilities until stock levels stabilize and then begin adding models;

This could fairly easily be adapted to MRO, ACRO, RMR, etc. footprints, a 30mm ring mount for COMP/PRO/etc.

From what I’ve seen on their IG live they’re actually working on quite a few new mounts for magnifiers and other optics to include the MRO.

They would make a killing. The only high mount for MRO I could find is made my Scalarworks and I love their stuff but they again are one of those companies who cant seem to figure out a way to get stock. Been on their waiting list for so long I think they are going out of business. They do get T2 mounts every once in a while though.

Should be. I know for a fact the Unity Fast units I have work with all my RD's.. including the Romeo 5 and my PA FDE Adv MD.

Awesome, want to try an offset red dot before I drop the money on an Aimpoint for it. Now if I could only find the adapter plate in stock.....

I just went out to Unity's website to have a look. From the pic of the plate they show, I see no reason for most any, Std "T2" footprint micro RD wouldn't fit.

Might want to send them an email just to be sure, but they all should fit.

As long as the hole alignment is standard...which many are now.  The RMR footprints are all over the map, but those aren't the red dots in discussion

Agreed. I think most have the T2 mount holes standardized.. at least in my experience. I've had good luck with Holosun & SwamFox on the RMR footprint.

Finally received my Unity Mount yesterday. I also have the magnifier Mount, but the QD lever does not seem to get the mount tight enough on the rail. Any directions on tightening this? I apologize if I missed it somewhere earlier in the thread

You have to push the part that grabs the rail laterally/out to expose the screw nut to then turn it (clockwise I believe to tighten).  Do so in quarter to half turn increments, test tightness, adjust as necessary.  I have found the mount finicky where the lateral push to expose the screw doesn't work.  In that case I muscled the turns.

@2apatriot @laxman09 Thanks brothers!

Upper is a complete (minus G's BCG) Geissele Super Duty ODG 11.5"

Lower is a stripped 300BO Rolled marked unit from RGuns (the only thing I could find reasonably right now.) I bought a stripped forged upper/lower set cheap.

As it turns out, this build got the RGuns lower, and another build got the matching upper.

ETA: FYI, not to get off topic.. but, RGuns is doing away with FDE & ODG anodizing. When current inventory is gone, they're done. I nailed the same 300BO stripped set in Ano FDE too.. Just because.







The matching forged upper..

I’m not a fan. I had a few and in two scenarios the mount screws ruined my T2 helicoils. And I used the correct screw lengths. RMA’ed. Couldn’t do those mounts anymore.

Some really good looking builds in here.

That also look like they have never been shot.

Guilty. I've been on a roll with builds as of late. The 8" mutt & 10.5" FDE lowers have seen use. Uppers are fresh.. as is the complete ODG 11.5" build.

And with Ammo prices & my current stash... well, ya know.

They all need dialed in, so at least 80rnds per to get them on paper anyway. Soon.

Was simply surfing the web on these and stumbled over the Unity Tactical Eotech QD on Optics Planet in my FDE as well. I also placed a backorder on the Riser you seek here. In my quest for Eotech's I spoke with their Customer Service Rep who clued me in on a few things. He said that all the Sites who allow you to purchase backordered items like Optics Planet and Brownells' (sometimes) that ALL of those Pre-Paid Orders are always restocked PRIOR to them posting inventory on their own site.

Meaning, if you go ahead and place the order for this on OP you'll set yourself in the queue and they'll drop ship and charge you THEN so ya have nothing to lose IMHO while searching still. I ordered both the Black and FDE (the latter is still in stock when I left too!) One Member who said tire on eBay was right but when I saw a $205 price on one I fell off my chair! WTF Over?

Yeah, same with everything in demand. Sellers upcharging because they know there's people out there that will pay a few bucks more to have it now, instead of waiting.

Quoting myself...

Just an FYI (that I'm sure the rest of you all probably already knew..)

If I would have just removed one of my RD's to look at what I already had.. that would've been too easy. Took delivery of FAST mount #4 today. Taking the rear ghost ring out is a snap. I even put the cross bolt/adjustment screw back in for that unaltered look.

I know most will say, why? Cause I can.

My black riser backorder from Kenzie's just shipped. Guessing what they got in probably filled backorders.

I'm currently running the PTS airsoft Unity licensed riser with my UH1. It's held zero and worked fine for 20ish bucks.

I should have done that.  I didn't backorder hoping that any of the 10 places I used for back in stock notifications would pay off....given that with my luck I'd backorder from the last place to get their resupply.

Caved and tossed in a backorder with brownells.  Hopefully the other notifications work out

You'll see a captive screw before mounting an optic. Once you remove that, it all comes apart.
