The Yankee Hill Machine Extended Picatinny-Style Riser Mount for AR-15 Flat-Top lets you stack optics and accessories where space is tight or where you need a higher sight line. This 6" rail extension mounts directly to any Picatinny rail on your AR-15, adding a full secondary mounting surface while elevating it 1/2" for improved cheek weld, better co-witness with irons, or simply clearing your handguard. Built from aircraft-grade aluminum and hardcoated to military specifications, it handles the recoil and abuse that come with duty, hunting, and range work without flex or shift.
Whether you're running a reflex sight over an ACOG, stacking magnifiers on a red dot, or mounting backup optics and lights in a crowded rail space, this riser gives you the real estate you need. The matte finish resists glare and blends with most AR furniture. It's a no-fuss way to optimize your sight picture without replacing your entire upper receiver or handguard.
Yankee Hill Machine is known for solid, no-nonsense AR components, and this riser is built to stay put. If your AR-15 flat-top already wears a Picatinny rail, this extension bolts on in seconds and doesn't require gunsmithing or special tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
What optics and accessories can I mount on this riser?
Any accessory with a Picatinny mounting interface—scopes, red dots, magnifiers, lights, laser designators, and grips—will attach to this rail extension. The 6" length gives you room to position multiple accessories or experiment with optic placement.
Will this riser fit my AR-15?
This riser mounts to any Picatinny rail on an AR-15 flat-top receiver. It does not require modifications to your upper or handguard; it simply bolts to the existing rail.
Does the 1/2" height elevation help with co-witnessing irons?
The elevation can improve the sight picture relationship between a mounted optic and backup iron sights, depending on your specific setup. Many shooters use rail risers to achieve a comfortable cheek weld and proper eye relief alignment.

It features a matte finish hardcoated to military specifications for durability and corrosion resistance. The matte surface reduces glare and reflection compared to polished aluminum.
