The Truglo 2-piece Picatinny-style riser mount is a lightweight solution for raising your optics or accessories on any AR-15 or modern tactical rifle with a Picatinny rail. If your current scope, red dot, or sight sits too low over your bore or handguard, a 1-inch riser gets your line of sight to a more comfortable, faster-aiming height without the bulk and weight of traditional single-piece mounts. Truglo's two-piece design achieves this by using 30% less material than a conventional riser—meaning you get the elevation you need without dragging down your rifle's handling.
Built from CNC-machined aluminum with a matte finish, this mount is durable enough for hunting, competition, and tactical use. The modular design makes it simple to install on any existing Picatinny rail and equally simple to swap or adjust your optics when the situation demands it. Each piece spans roughly 1.36 inches, so it's compact enough to leave room on your upper receiver or handguard for other accessories.
Whether you're mounting a traditional scope, a compact red dot, or a holographic sight, this riser raises your optic mounting surface by exactly 1 inch. That modest lift is often the difference between a usable setup and a frustrating compromise—especially on modern flat-top AR platforms where factory rails are designed more for versatility than for perfect optical geometry straight out of the box.

Yes. The Truglo 2-piece Picatinny riser mounts directly to any Picatinny rail, making it compatible with AR-15 flat-tops and any other modern rifle or handguard featuring a standard Picatinny interface.
This riser works with any optic or accessory designed for Picatinny mounting, including traditional scopes, red dot sights, holographic sights, and other rail-mounted accessories.
A 1-inch riser clears most handguards and provides a natural sight picture for many scope and red dot combinations on an AR platform. If you need more or less elevation, you'll want to confirm your specific setup, but 1 inch is a common sweet spot for AR-15 shooters.
The 2-piece design is engineered to minimize weight penalty compared to single-piece risers, using 30% less mounting surface. Exact weight is not specified, but the lightweight aluminum construction is intentional for shooters who care about keeping their rifle nimble.
