The NCStar 45 Degree Offset Rail Mount is a compact, angled mounting solution designed to let you position optics, lights, and lasers at a 45-degree angle on your rifle's Picatinny rail. This tactical accessory is built for shooters who need secondary optics or illumination without the bulk and obstruction of traditional top-mounted gear—ideal for backup red-dot sights alongside a primary scope, weapon-mounted flashlights, or targeting lasers positioned for quick access and sight picture clarity.
Constructed from aluminum, the offset rail mount weighs just 1.4 ounces and measures 1.8 inches in length, keeping your setup lightweight and streamlined. The 45-degree geometry gives you mounting flexibility; instead of stacking accessories vertically or fighting for space on a crowded upper receiver, you can angle gear to the side where it won't interfere with your primary optic or obstruct your view. It's a practical choice for AR-platform rifles, tactical carbines, or any firearm with standard Picatinny rails.
Whether you're building a versatile patrol rifle, a competition gun with multiple sighting systems, or a hunting platform that benefits from a dedicated light or laser, the NCStar offset mount solves the real problem of limited rail real estate and overlapping fields of view. Fast to install and durable enough for serious use, it's a no-fuss accessory that doesn't compromise your primary setup.

The NCStar 45-degree mount is designed to accept accessories that use standard Picatinny/MIL-STD-1913 mounts, including red-dot sights, holographic optics, weapon lights, and laser modules. Verify that your specific accessory uses a Picatinny interface.
The offset mount attaches to any rifle or firearm with a Picatinny rail system, including most modern AR-platform rifles, tactical carbines, and rifles with aftermarket Picatinny rails. It will not work on firearms without a Picatinny rail.
Angling accessories to the side keeps them clear of your primary optic and doesn't add height to your setup, reducing obstruction of your main sight picture and sight line. It's especially useful for secondary optics, backup lights, or lasers on crowded upper receivers.
The NCStar 45-degree offset rail mount weighs 1.4 ounces, making it a minimal addition to your overall rifle setup.
