Midwest Industries Mp5/Mp5K Tall 9 Slot 1913 Optic Mount

The Midwest Industries MP5/MP5K Tall 9 Slot 1913 Optic Mount is a precision-machined aluminum mounting solution designed to add modern optic capability to HK MP5 and MP5K platforms and compatible clones. If you're running an AP5, ZF-5, or MAC-5, this tall mount gives you a solid foundation for red dot or compact reflex sights without requiring a gunsmith visit. The 9-slot Picatinny rail accepts standard 1913-pattern optics, Aimpoint Micro T-2 clones, and Acro-pattern sights, so you have real flexibility in what you run on top.

Built from hard-coat anodized 6061 aluminum, this mount is engineered for durability in hard use. The elevated position promotes a naturally upright shooting posture, which many shooters prefer on the MP5 platform for faster target acquisition and better ergonomics. Because of the pass-through channel design, you can co-witness or run backup irons if you set it up that way. Setup is straightforward—no gunsmith needed, and Midwest includes all necessary tools in the box. The whole package tips the scale at just 3.3 ounces, so it won't bog down your rifle.

One important note: this mount is optimized for 9mm MP5 receivers. If you're planning to run it on a .40 S&W or 10mm platform, contact Midwest first to confirm fitment. It's also not compatible with .22LR variants. The mount is fully 922(r) compliant and backed by a lifetime warranty, and it's made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this mount fit my MP5 clone—AP5, ZF-5, or MAC-5?

Yes. The Midwest Industries mount is designed for HK MP5 and MP5K platforms and is compatible with Century Arms AP5/K, Zenith ZF-5/K, and Military Arms Corporation MAC-5/K receivers. However, it's optimized for 9mm—if you have a .40 S&W or 10mm variant, reach out to Midwest to verify fitment before purchasing.

What optics can I mount on the 1913 rail?

The mount features a 9-slot 1913 Picatinny rail, so it works with standard Picatinny-pattern red dots and reflex sights. It also has a T2 Micro interface for Aimpoint Micro T-2 clones and similar compact optics, and an Acro-pattern interface depending on the variant you order.

Do I need a gunsmith to install this?

No. The mount comes with all necessary tools for installation and can be set up without a gunsmith.

Can I still use iron sights with this optic mount?

Yes. The pass-through channel design allows you to co-witness or run backup iron sights if desired.
