New Aimpoint Mount From Spuhr (RD-20153)
Spuhr of Sweden has released a new Picatinny mount, suitable for the Aimpoint Micro and CompM5 series of red dots. It’s called RD-20153, and on an AR-15/M4 style platform the mount offers absolute co-witness, with a height of 39 mm/1.535”. The mount is machined from billet 7075 T651 aluminum, which has then been hard coat anodized. The mount is pretty lightweight at 72g/2.5 oz. From the images, it seems to be a very sturdy mount – the optic and the mount look like one integral part.
