MIDWEST MI-MK2-R13 MK2 1913 RISER 13 SLOT
The Midwest Industries MK2 1913 Riser 13 Slot is a precision-engineered Picatinny rail mount designed to elevate optics and accessories on any 1913 rail system. If you're building a rifle setup that demands rock-solid mounting without compromise, this 13-slot riser bridges the gap between your rail and scope, red dot, or other glass—adding .625" of mounting height to clear everything from AR handguards to cowitness considerations. Built from 6061 aluminum with hard-coat anodizing and backed by 4140 heat-treated steel clamps, it's made to stay put through hard use and repeated mounting cycles.
Midwest Industries engineered the MK2 series with competition shooters, hunters, and serious sport shooters in mind. The 13-slot configuration gives you genuine flexibility—you're not locked into one optic placement, and that extra real estate means you can dial in the exact eye relief and sight picture that works for your particular setup and shooting style. Whether you're running a magnified hunting scope, a lightweight red dot, or stacking multiple accessories, the robust construction handles the load.
The details matter here: precision-machined alignment, integrated Torx clamp hardware for clean assembly, and precision engraving that signals quality without flash. Made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty, this riser is the kind of no-nonsense gear that lets you focus on shooting instead of worrying about your glass shifting zero.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the MK2 1913 Riser do, and do I need one?
A Picatinny riser mounts to your rifle's rail and adds height, letting you position optics higher for better cheek weld, clearance over a handguard or rail system, or to adjust sight picture.
