PLATE #1 STANDARD HEIGHT (1.5''-1.8'') OPTIC PLATE
$25.00
The Arisaka Defense Plate #1 Standard Height optic plate is a replacement mounting component for the Arisaka offset optic mount system, sized to work with standard-height scope bases measuring 1.5" to 1.8". This plate pairs with Docter, Eotech MRDS, Insight, Meopta, Vortex Venom, Vortex Viper, and Burris Fastfire III red dot sights, making it ideal if you're running one of these popular compacts and need a modular upgrade path as your setup evolves. Built for AR15 shooters who want a flexible offset mounting solution without buying a whole new system each time you swap optics.
The Arisaka system's strength lies in its modularity—you can purchase plates separately as you acquire new red dots, rather than committing to a single configuration upfront. The standard-height plate sits at the right elevation for compact red dot sights paired with mid-range scope turrets. The base itself is CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with MIL-A-8625 Type III hard coat anodizing, delivering durability and reliability under field conditions. The engineering is precise enough to maintain lower 1/3 co-witness when the rifle is canted to use the offset position, keeping your shooting geometry efficient.
Whether you're building a dedicated offset setup or upgrading an existing Arisaka base, the Plate #1 Standard Height gives you the flexibility to match your current optics. It's the kind of modular thinking that separates smart gear from one-trick solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which red dot sights work with the Plate #1 Standard Height?
This plate is designed for Docter, Eotech MRDS, Insight, Meopta, Vortex Venom, Vortex Viper, and Burris Fastfire III sights. If you're running a different model (such as an Aimpoint Micro, Trijicon RMR, or SIG Romeo), you'll need a different plate from the Arisaka lineup.
Is this plate alone sufficient to mount a red dot, or do I need to buy the base too?
The plate attaches to the Arisaka Defense base, which mounts to your AR15 top rail. If you don't already own the base, you'll need to purchase it separately. The modular design allows you to buy bases and plates independently as your setup changes.
What scope heights does the standard-height plate pair with?
The Plate #1 Standard Height is engineered for scope bases with a height of 1.5" to 1.8". If your scope base is taller (1.9" to 2.2"), you'll want a tall-height plate instead.
Can I use this plate on the left or right side of my rifle?
Yes. The Arisaka system allows you to reverse both the base and plates for left or right side mounting, giving you flexibility in your offset red dot placement.
