Mount and remove compatible accessories quickly while maintaining a consistent rail interface using the AimShot Picatinny Quick Release Mount in black anodized finish. Designed to clamp onto Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913) rails, this mount is identified as model MT61172 with UPC 669256611721. If you’re searching for an AimShot quick release mount, a Picatinny QD mount, or a black anodized quick detach rail mount for optics and accessories, MT61172 is built around the core needs of modular setups: repeatable attachment, fast removal, and reliable clamping on standard rail profiles.
Quick Release Convenience for Modular Setups
A quick release mount is often used when you want to:
Swap accessories between platforms without reworking hardware
Remove an optic or device for transport, storage, or maintenance
Transition between different sighting or accessory configurations
Simplify equipment handling when time and convenience matter
A QD-style mount is especially relevant for users running multiple tools on one rifle platform or who regularly change setups between range and field use.
Picatinny Compatibility (MIL-STD-1913)
This mount is designed for Picatinny rails, a widely used standard across many modern rifles and accessory systems. A true Picatinny interface features standardized slot spacing and rail geometry, helping ensure consistent fit across compatible receivers and handguards.
Compatibility considerations typically include:
Confirming the rail is Picatinny spec (not a different rail standard)
Ensuring the mount seats fully in the rail grooves
Selecting a rail slot position that avoids interference with other accessories
Verifying clearance for controls, charging handles, or sights (platform-dependent)
Black Anodized Finish for Durability and Low Glare
The mount is listed as black anodized, a finish commonly used on aluminum hardware to improve:
Surface durability and abrasion resistance
Corrosion resistance for regular outdoor handling
Low-glare appearance that matches most receivers and accessories
Wear characteristics at clamping surfaces under repeated mounting cycles
Anodized black hardware is a practical choice for setups that see frequent mounting and removal.
Repeatable Clamping and Stability (Practical Notes)
A mount’s value is tied to how securely it clamps and how consistently it returns to the same position when reattached. While return-to-zero performance depends on rail tolerances, mounting pressure, and accessory weight, users often support consistent results by:
Mounting to the same rail slots each time
Ensuring the mount is pushed forward into the slot (consistent bias) before locking
Keeping rail surfaces clean and free of debris
Applying consistent lever tension per manufacturer guidance
If the mount is used for optics, users commonly confirm zero after removal/reinstall until repeatability is well understood.
Installation and Safety Considerations
As with any rail-mounted accessory:
Confirm the firearm is unloaded and safe before installation
Ensure the mount is fully seated in the rail slot(s)
Lock the quick release mechanism firmly and verify no movement
Re-check engagement after initial handling and during early use
Avoid overloading the mount beyond what it is designed to support
If you observe shifting, loosening, or inconsistent alignment, discontinue use and inspect rail fit and clamping surfaces.
Ideal Use Cases
The AimShot Picatinny Quick Release Mount is commonly relevant for:
Optics and sighting accessories that benefit from quick removal
Users who rotate accessories across multiple platforms
Training setups where gear changes are frequent
Storage and transport workflows where removing accessories is preferred
Exact compatibility depends on the accessory footprint and the rail interface, so verifying fit with your specific device is recommended.
