Product Overview

The Forward Controls Design Milspec M17/M18 Optic Mounting Plate Acro is a precision-machined adapter designed to mount Aimpoint ACRO P1 and P2 red dot sights directly onto the MIL-spec slide cuts found on the M17 and M18 service pistols. This is the go-to solution for shooters and professionals who want to run one of the most durable and combat-proven red dot optics available on their military-issued or compatible platforms without permanent modifications.

Machined from 4140 steel and finished with QPQ coating, this plate meets the exacting tolerances specified in the Aimpoint ACRO technical data package. The engineering here matters: tight tolerances aren't just a spec sheet detail—they ensure your optic sits exactly where it should for consistent zero and reliability under demanding use. Forward Controls Design holds these standards because the platform has proven itself with professional end-users who can't afford a mount that shifts or fails.

Installation is straightforward. The plate ships with two M4 mounting screws, a T20 hex key for installation, and a tube of VC-3 lubricant to keep everything running smoothly. Everything you need comes in the box. The design is a direct-fit adapter—no gunsmithing, no drilling, just drop it in and go. It's designed and manufactured in the USA, and it's the same proven design trusted by military and law enforcement professionals.
