During last week’s TTRH 2014, Hodge Defense Systems Inc and Mega Arms LLC gave me a sneak peek at their new MRDS Mount.
Manufactured from 7075 aluminum, the Dogbone mount for the Aimpoint T1 is a joint project from Hodge Defense and Mega Arms. The mount gets it’s name from the Dogbone shaped clamp that holds it against a Mil Std 1913 rail.
This is a prototype, so there will be a couple of changes to the final, production model. For instance, they are adding a pin at the bottom of the mount to self center and the two cross bolts will change to Torx #20 heads with no threading at the ends.
There also mounting plates in the works to allow lower 1/3rd cowitness as well as true cowitness. Additionally, they plan to introduce plates for other mini red dot sights. Look for it this summer.
What does this offer that other mounts do not?

Sorry, hit the return accidently. There aren’t a lot of non-QD mounts out there for the T1. Seekins, DD, are a couple non-qd that come to mind.
