GBRS 2.91 FTC MAGNIFIER MNT 30MM BLK

The GBRS 2.91 FTC magnifier mount is a quick-deploy solution for shooters running 30mm magnifiers on co-witnessed red dot setups. Built on UNITY Tactical's Flip-to-Center technology, this mount brings any 30mm magnifier—like the Aimpoint 3XMAG or 3X-C—to a repeatable 2.91-inch height above the bore to pair seamlessly with GBRS Group's Hydra Mounting Systems. Whether you're setting up a duty rifle, precision carbine, or competition gun, the FTC design gives you magnification on demand without the real estate penalty of traditional flip-to-side mounts.

The core innovation here is how it stows. Instead of rotating the magnifier off to the side where it can catch gear or interfere with cheek position, the FTC flips down and tucks completely within your receiver footprint. That means cleaner handling, faster transitions between magnified and unmagnified sight pictures, and no wasted rail space. The force-to-overcome mechanism is intuitive—smooth to flip up when you need it, stiff enough to stay put on recoil.

Construction is honest: 7075 T6 aluminum, Type III hardcoat anodized for durability in rough use. The QD lever mount means quick detach from your rail, and at under 5 ounces, weight is negligible. Height to optic centerline is precisely 2.91 inches, so if you're already running GBRS Hydra systems, you know exactly what you're getting. Dimensions when stowed are compact—1.45 by 2.72 inches—and it raises to 3.61 inches when deployed.

This is gear for shooters who understand that ergonomics matter. You're not compromising sight picture for magnification, and you're not carrying dead weight. Run it behind a thermal, an offset optic, or a traditional red dot—any 30mm magnifier body will work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What magnifiers work with the GBRS 2.91 FTC mount?

Any magnifier with a 30mm body will fit. Aimpoint's 3XMAG and 3X-C are proven matches, and the mount is designed for cross-compatibility with other 30mm magnifiers on the market.

How does the Flip-to-Center design differ from traditional flip-to-side mounts?

The FTC design flips straight down and stows completely within your receiver footprint, rather than rotating off to the side. This keeps your sight picture clean when the magnifier is down and saves space on your rail system.

Will this mount fit my GBRS Group Hydra system?

Yes. The 2.91 FTC is purpose-built to pair with GBRS Group Hydra Mounting Systems at the 2.91-inch optic centerline height.

How secure is the flip mechanism under recoil?

The force-to-overcome mechanism holds the magnifier firmly in place when deployed. It requires deliberate input to flip but locks positively during firing.
