The Midwest MK2 QD RMR Mount in 1/3 cowitness height gives you a rock-solid, quick-detach platform for your red dot optic on an AR or other mil-spec railed upper. This is the second-generation MK2 series — refined for smoother operation and better aesthetics than the original, with the same precision engineering Midwest Industries is known for. Whether you're running a red dot for close-quarters work, home defense, or precision shooting at distance, this mount locks in tight and comes back to zero every time you reinstall it.
The real standout here is the QD lever. Midwest uses an Elite Defense patented quick-detach design that's genuinely smooth to operate and can be adjusted on the fly without tools — a major convenience if your rail isn't quite spec-perfect or you simply want to dial in the tension to your preference. The clamping action is engineered to grip the rail securely without marring or deforming it, and the multi-faceted adjustment nut lets you get the exact feel you want. It's the kind of attention to detail that separates a quality mount from a mediocre one.
Built from 6061 aluminum with hard-coat anodizing, this mount is finished to last decades in the field. Midwest includes their optic mount tool so you can install and adjust your red dot without hunting for extra gear. The 1/3 cowitness height sits your optic at the same level as backup iron sights, giving you fast transitions between aiming systems. Made in the USA with a lifetime warranty backing the craftsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this mount compatible with Trijicon RMR and RMR-pattern red dots?
Yes. The Midwest MK2 QD RMR Mount is designed for RMR-pattern optics, including Trijicon RMR and compatible clones. It is not compatible with Acro, T2, or micro dot patterns — Midwest offers separate mounts for those footprints.
What is 1/3 cowitness and why does it matter?
1/3 cowitness means the red dot's center sits at a height that allows you to see your backup iron sights through and above the optic in the same sight picture. This is useful if you're running both sights and want quick transitions between them without changing your head position significantly.
Can I adjust the QD lever tension myself without special tools?
Yes. The QD lever features a multi-faceted adjustment nut that you can turn by hand — no tools required. This lets you customize how tight or loose the lever feels to your preference and adapt to rails that may not be perfectly spec-machined.
What's included in the box?
The mount ships with the Midwest Industries Optic Mount Tool, which you'll use to install and adjust your red dot optic on the mount.
