SKD Aimpoint QRP2 Riser (PRO/COMP M4)
Introducing the NEW SKD AIMPOINT QRP2 RISER for the Aimpoint PRO and Comp M4!
The Aimpoint PRO and Comp M4 optics ship with a perfectly usable mounting system that often gets tossed in the random parts bin to upgrade to a taller aftermarket mount. With new mounts often costing in excess of $150, accessorizing your Aimpoint optic can strain your wallet. With the NEW SKD AIMPOINT QRP2 RISER, you can upgrade your existing factory QRP2 mount to a modern height option for merely $40! Or when purchasing an Aimpoint PRO from us, you can add an SKD AIMPOINT QRP2 RISER for only $20 more!
Four riser heights are offered for the most popular applications.
- The 1.73" Riser will place the center of the optic at 1.73", which is the classic Bottom 1/3 Co-Witness position, allowing for fixed iron sights to be constantly visible for immediate use when needed, while keeping the iron sight picture at the bottom 1/3 of your Field of View so you have an uncluttered red dot view.
- The 1.93" Riser will offer you a largely unimpeded FOV when using over your PEQ-15 and matches the height of the LaRue 1.93" Mounts. Even for those not using the IR aiming devices, the 1.93" Riser will allow for an upright head position for quickly finding your dot and reducing neck fatigue, while not being too high to shoot from the prone.
- The 2.04" Riser will allow you to keep the exact same optic mounting height for shooters using a 2.04" Geissele mount for their Low Power Variable Optics, and also allows for in-line mounting of a CNVD that is secured to 1/2" Riser.
- The 2.26" Riser provides an affordable entry-level solution to use your Aimpoint with the new Unity FAST Flip to Center Magnifier hotness, while staying within a budget. We view this Riser on a PRO or Comp M4 as the gateway mount to eventually using an Aimpoint Micro Optic coupled with the Unity FAST Mount.
The SKD Aimpoint QRP2 Riser is also Bidirectional. Many shooters dislike the left-side orientation of the large torque knob on the QRP2 and Comp M4 mounts because it can sometimes impede AR15/M4 bolt-catch manipulation and can get hung on gear for most right-handed shooters. With the SKD Aimpoint QRP2 Riser, you can now mount the QRP2 Riser base in the opposite direction by design, with the knob on the right-side of the receiver, keeping the left side of the receiver clear and open for bolt-catch manipulations. When the torque knob is mounted above or near the ejection port, it will not get in the way of your ejection pattern, but it will collect fouling easily so we recommend masking the knob with painters tape for extended training sessions.
FAQ
Q: Why is there a visible gap between the riser and the QRP2 base and the optic?
A: The critical mounting surfaces for this product are on the angles that mate up between the riser/mount/optic, and not the flats. This ensures that the mount remains as straight and solid as possible after an impact. If the horizontal flats between each piece were the main contact surface, one could introduce rotational movement between the pieces. Our riser was designed by the 100lb brains at Arisaka Defense using dimensions from the QRP2 mount. If you look at the factory QRP2 to optic interface, the same “gap” is visible.

Simple, cost effective enhancement
I got the 1/3 co-witness spacer for a PRO. I have a 1-6x in a 1.93" tall, it's awesome and it isn't as tall as you think. I considered going that route with a spacer for the PRO but with the RDS I want the ability to use the BUIS and still have the optic essentially unobstructed. If something works perfectly, it just works, you won't notice it because it's just there performing its task. I'll leave it at that regarding the spacer. I began looking for a 1/3 co-witness PRO mount/ring and found some from outstanding manufacturers but with a minimum cost if $120+/- In steps SKD Tactical. I've known of SKD for sometime but I found this spacer by sheer chance, it took several Googles but boom here it is, for the PRO or comp M4 I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Easy to install
Using this riser I was able to get my dot to the lower 1/3 co-witness I was used to with my other red dots. Super easy to do and a quality product. My order arrived quickly as well.

SKD 2.04" Riser
Ordered the 2.04" riser to replace the original on my Aimpoint Pro RD. Shipping was quick and device was packaged securely in a plastic clamshell. Install was easy. Riser is much more comfortable on the neck. Very happy.

1.93 Aimpoint Pro Riser
Excellent product and very happy with this purchase. If you own an Aimpoint Pro I would highly recommend these risers if you’d like to try a higher sight picture and still use the Pro’s solid mounting system.

Perfect addition to an already great optic
This is the best and only? Option for a PRO if you want to keep the stock mounting system. Great product and price point.

Gangsta AF!
Ordered on 5/4/20 in the middle of the worst crisis a millenial has ever endured......the wuhan virus. Arrived on 5/7/20 and I was LARPing in seconds thru out my 2 floor bungalow in the most effective urban camo known to man........ tighty whitey Brief underwear and my Team wendy multicam bump helmet with pvs-14s. Long story short this thing is solid. Great alternative to high dollar mounts.

I'm an idiot.
I'm an idiot because for 4 years I've overcranked my head sideways and down and induced cervical scoliosis by using the cowitness Aimpoint PRO mount instead of getting SKD's legit 2.04" riser. Don' be an idiot and raise that shit.
