Burris AR-F3 Flat-Top FastFire Mount for AR-15, Picatinny-Style, Matte Black
The Burris AR-F3 flat-top FastFire mount is a Picatinny-compatible base designed to put a FastFire red dot right where you need it on your AR-15. This is a straightforward, rugged solution for shooters who want to add or swap a compact reflex sight on a flat-top receiver without replacing the upper. The matte black finish blends seamlessly with modern AR builds and won't catch light at the range or in the field.
If you run a FastFire on your AR platform, mounting options matter. The AR-F3 bolts directly to your existing Picatinny rail, so installation is quick and doesn't require gunsmithing. Burris built this mount with the durability expectation you'd have from a name that's been in optics since 1971—it's made to stay put through thousands of rounds and years of use.
This mount works best for shooters who want a compact sight footprint without the bulk of a full-size tube scope. Whether you're setting up a precision AR for match use, a hunting rifle, or a home-defense carbine, the AR-F3 keeps your FastFire low and co-witnessed with your iron sights (if you run them). The profile stays low enough that most AR handguards and optic combinations work together without interference.
