Wilcox Flip Mount - Remains of SHOT 1012

[brightcove video="1405161719001" /]

The Wilcox Flip Mount riser system is set up to run a holographic or red dot sight along with a magnifier on a carbine. It uses tension to hold the magnifier in place. There's nothing to twist, depress, snap or click to get the magnifier where you need it quickly.

Before you ask if it can flop closed, I'll say that there's plenty of tension holding the mount open in what feels like a detent. Sure, it could flip closed with a very hard jot, but in normal operation I don't see it happening.

While the magnifier can be adjusted fore and aft to accommodate shooter preference, Wilcox will produce fixed riser heights optimized for a few weapon/optic combinations. The mount will be out in the summer, though we haven't heard how much it will cost.
