The Midwest Industries Gen 2 30mm scope mount for AR-platform rifles is built for shooters who demand rock-solid optics placement without compromise. This one-piece design mounts your scope at the optimal forward offset location on your AR's receiver rail, positioning the glass where your eye naturally finds it during shooting. Whether you're running a precision rifle for long-range work, a tactical rifle for dynamic shooting, or a hunting AR, this mount delivers the mechanical integrity and repeatability that separate quality glass from wasted ammunition.
Constructed from 6061 aluminum with a hard coat anodized finish, the Gen 2 handles the recoil and abuse of serious use without shifting or loosening. Dual steel locking lugs and a long clamp bar work with 1/2-inch steel locking nuts to create a clamping system that stays put—no creep, no surprises when you're dialing for distance or transitioning between targets. The offset design places your scope 1.50 inches above the top rail, clearing the way for modern tactical rails, dust covers, and charging handles while keeping your cheek weld natural and repeatable.
Made in the USA with a lifetime warranty, this mount accepts scopes with objectives up to 56mm, giving you flexibility whether you're choosing a compact hunting optic or a larger tactical or long-range scope. At 8.4 ounces, it adds negligible weight to your rifle while solving one of AR shooting's most common problems: getting your optic high enough and far enough forward for both comfort and function.

Yes. The Gen 2 is designed for any AR-platform rifle with a Picatinny receiver rail, whether 5.56, 308, or other calibers. As long as your rifle has a standard flat-top receiver rail, this mount will work.
The Gen 2 accommodates scopes with objectives up to 56mm in diameter. This covers most hunting, tactical, and long-range scopes on the market, from compact 24mm objectives to large 50mm and 56mm designs.
The center line of the scope rings sits 1.50 inches above the top of your receiver rail. This height clears most aftermarket rail systems, charging handle covers, and dust covers while maintaining a natural, repeatable cheek weld for most shooters.
No. The dual steel locking lugs, long one-piece clamp bar, and 1/2-inch steel locking nuts create a clamping system designed to resist loosening under recoil. Once properly tightened, it stays put.
