Midwest MK2 QD T2 Aimpoint Mount 2.26"

The Midwest MK2 QD T2 Aimpoint Mount in 2.26" height brings solid engineering and practical refinement to your red dot setup. Built for shooters running T2-pattern optics—Aimpoint, Holosun, and compatible micro dots—this quick-detach mount combines Midwest's precision machining with the smoothest QD lever action you'll find. Whether you're building a duty rifle, setting up a competition gun, or running an over-under setup where you need consistent return to zero, the MK2 QD delivers the reliability and repeatability serious shooters demand.

The 2.26" height positions your optic in lower third cowitness with standard AR iron sights, giving you a fast sight picture and leaving the lower rail clear for accessories. The quick-detach lever is fully adjustable without tools—you can dial it to work smoothly on rails that aren't machined to mil-spec tolerances, which matters in the real world. Clamping is equally thoughtful: the design won't damage or coin your rail, a detail that protects your investment and keeps your accuracy true. Every adjustment nut is multi-faceted for hand adjustability, so you get exact tension control without fumbling for wrenches.

Midwest machines the MK2 from 6061 aluminum and hard-coat anodizes it for durability that'll outlast the rifle. Premium engraving throughout the mount isn't just aesthetic—it's a sign of quality control in the CNC work underneath. The mount ships with Midwest's Optic Mount Tool, handy for fine-tuning your optic position and fitting. Made in the USA, with a lifetime warranty backing your purchase.

Replacement scope ring caps for other optic patterns are available separately, so if you swap setups down the road, you won't need a new mount. This is the kind of gear that works quietly in the background and earns respect through accuracy and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What optics work with the Midwest MK2 QD T2 mount?

This mount accepts T2-pattern optics, which includes Aimpoint T2, Holosun, Steiner micro dots, and other T2-compatible clones. Replacement ring caps for other optic patterns (RMR, Acro, and other micro dot variants) are available separately if you want to swap setups later.

What sight height does the 2.26" mount provide?

The 2.26" height delivers lower 1/3 cowitness, meaning your red dot aligns with the top third of standard AR iron sights. This is the most common setup for modern tactical and hunting rifles because it gives you a fast sight picture and keeps the lower rail free for lights, lasers, or other gear.

Can the QD lever be adjusted to fit different rails?

Yes. The QD lever is fully adjustable without tools, so you can dial it to work smoothly on rails that aren't machined to mil-spec tolerances. The multi-faceted adjustment nut lets you dial in the exact clamping tension you prefer by hand.

What's included with the Midwest MK2 QD mount?

The mount ships with the Midwest Industries Optic Mount Tool, which helps you adjust your optic position and get the fit just right during installation.
