- Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2020I received this in good time and good condition. I do have to address the comments regarding its ability to stay on/tight. To the untrained, adjusting the Quick Disconnect tension might not be readily apparent. It needs to be made with the nut and made in small increments. The tension adjustment is achieved by the nut opposite the latch. It needs to be tightened in increments of 1/8 turn or less. When properly adjusted, the latch will begin to close and then at just the point where it seems like it won't close any more, the latch will suddenly snap closed. You have to work up to this situation slowly. It will be obvious to the user where this occurs - At that point, there will be NO movement in the mount/rail at all. The point of "Creeping up" on the correct tension is that If you go too far, you risk breaking off one of the latch cam ears.
Note: The inside lip of the nut that bears on the rail clamp is serrated like a lock washer. Make sure the clamp is completely open before turning the nut after the initial installation has been performed. If there is any pressure on the nut, then turning it will be VERY difficult and you WILL score the face of the rail clamp.
1] To start, remove any sight on the mount, loosen latch and then the the nut all the way so you can drop the mount onto the rail.
2] Set the latch to its closed position. The mount will still be loose on the rail.
3] Using your fingers, compress the latch & mount clamps on the rail until the mount clamps are just gripping the rails. While clamped, tighten the nut finger tight. The mount should now stay on the rails with a little movement. It will still be loose but now secure to the point where it's not falling off.
4] Now comes the iteration part: Release the clamp, hold the clamps to the rail and tighten the nut 1/8 turn. Now close the clamp and note that it easily closes. Repeat this "Unlatch-tighten nut-latch" process. As you do so, the tension will get greater and greater until you get to that point where the clamp just barely "Comes over the hill", it snaps closed, and the mount will be securely attached to the rail.
Using Blue, non-permanent Loctite (#242) , should keep the tension right where you want it .
I hope this helps
- Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2022I was able to pair this with Monstrum Marksman 3x30 scope, and that scope is a big boi, on my Ruger 556.
I initially had issue with the first riser loosing grip on the rails after 50 rounds, and it keep loosening up after each mag. Monstrum quickly sent me a replacement unit, and I’ve had zero issue with the second unit.
I was able to keep the first unit, and I put that on my plinker, and that has been working fine without issues.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2025Easy to use and adjust. My Sig Romeo 5 pairs up nicely with it.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2024I was able to connect it to my AR with no problem easy on and off and good quality.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2022Very happy first time customer with Monstrum Tactical and I am very pleased with my purchase! I mounted this adjustable riser mount to my rifle and I could not be any happier! The riser mount is very well made and the quaility of this riser mount is second none! The quick release is a very nice option and is very sturdy when locked down and it will not move or ever come loose. The adjustable riser is also a very nice option to have if I decide to purchase more scopes in the future and need to adjust the height of the riser to meet my needs. Highly satisfied and I will be making more purchases with Monstrum Tactical and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade any firearm!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2022First, I wanted to say that this isn't that bad of a riser alternative. I like the idea that you can adjust the height, it has a quick detach, is very well priced, and best of all: my EoTech EXPS 2 will fit onto it. The only thing is that the riser does not hold together well when shooting. I tried zeroing my rifle and after 10 shots it comes loose. Tightened it down but after some more shooting, it becomes loose again. I think this would definitely be better for airsoft but not for anything else.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2024Worked perfectly to get the height between my red dot, and the magnifier matched up. These are wonderful. Monstrum is always where I look first!
