UTG Super Slim Picatinny Riser Mount - Matte Black, 3 Slots, 1" Height

The UTG Super Slim Picatinny Riser Mount is a lightweight aluminum riser built for shooters who need to clear a top-mounted scope over a tall AR upper receiver or similar platform without sacrificing a repeatable zero. At just 1 inch in height, this 3-slot Picatinny riser strikes the balance between sight radius and practicality—tall enough to gain clearance but compact enough to keep your setup trim and responsive. Whether you're running a midrange optic on a 16-inch rifle, backing up an LPVO, or experimenting with different sight heights, a quality riser mount is the foundation of a consistent shooting system.

UTG engineered this riser from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished it with a hard-coat matte black anodize that resists light scratches and shows no shine—practical details that matter when you're counting on your optics to perform. The distinctive scalloped Picatinny slots prevent snags and allow you to stack multiple risers side by side into one continuous rail if your build demands it. Integral square-shaped recoil stops and locking Torx screws keep your zero locked in place through recoil and handling, and the continuous rail-edge design means this mount plays well with neighboring accessories. Lightning cuts throughout the body reduce weight without compromising rigidity—you notice the difference on a rifle you actually carry.

Installation is straightforward: the package includes a T20 Torx wrench, so you can mount and level your optic without hunting for tools. At 1.57 inches in length with three slots, you have room to attach optics, iron sights, or lights across a standard Picatinny footprint. This is the kind of no-nonsense accessory that earns its place on a working rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What height Picatinny riser do I need for my rifle?

The 1-inch height of this mount works well for most modern AR builds where you need modest clearance over the receiver without excessive sight radius—typical for mid-power scopes or backup iron sights paired with a close-range optic. If you're running an exceptionally tall upper or a magnified optic that requires more clearance, you may want a taller riser; if you prefer co-witness or a lower sight line, a lower-profile mount would suit better. Measure your specific setup to confirm fit.

Will this riser mount secure my zero through recoil?

Yes. The mount uses integral square-shaped recoil stops paired with locking Torx fasteners to prevent shifting under recoil and repeated handling. Proper torque applied with the included T20 wrench is essential to zero retention.

Can I use two of these risers together to make one longer rail?

Yes. The continuous rail-edge design allows you to stack multiple Super Slim Picatinny risers side by side to form a single extended Picatinny rail if your setup calls for additional accessory mounting space.

What's included with the mount?

The package includes the riser mount and a T20 Torx wrench for installation. You'll need to attach it to your rifle's existing Picatinny rail using the integrated fastening system.
