Why Choose the BCM A/T 525-13 Optic Riser
Optimized Head Position (0.525" Rise):
A subtle yet impactful lift that helps achieve a heads-up, neutral neck posture, improving comfort and situational awareness during long strings and dynamic drills.
5.75" Extended Deck:
Generous mounting real estate for micro red dots, prisms, and magnifiers, or to fine-tune fore-aft eye relief and button access on enclosed emitters.
Picatinny-True Geometry:
Precisely cut rail slots lock optics down tight for repeatable zero with robust recoil lugs and positive clamp engagement.
Rigid, Lightweight Construction:
The long, one-piece body delivers torsional stiffness without unnecessary weight—ideal for patrol carbines, PCCs, and modern AR builds.
Hard Anodized Black Finish:
Durable, low-glare coating resists abrasion, sweat, and weather for a professional, duty-grade appearance.

Real-World Advantages on the Gun
Faster Target Acquisition:
A more upright posture aligns the dot naturally, helping reduce hunt time and speeding follow-up shots.
Better with Gear:
The added height clears plate carriers, gas masks, and ear pro, making presentation more consistent across positions.
Clean Switchology:
Longer mounting surface improves access to side buttons on enclosed emitters and accommodates flip-to-side magnifiers.
Consistent Cheek Weld:
Maintains a repeatable index across prone, kneeling, and standing—even when shooting around barricades.
Compatibility & Mounting
Fits: Any upper with a standard Picatinny receiver/handguard rail (AR-15/AR-10 patterns, PCCs, and compatible chassis).
Optics: Micro red dots (Aimpoint® Micro-pattern, RMR®-pattern via appropriate base), compact prisms, and short-base mounts for LPVOs*
Magnifiers: Works with common FTS magnifier mounts; confirm eye relief and height alignment.
*If using an LPVO, ensure your ring or one-piece mount has a Picatinny foot designed to sit on risers; confirm combined height is within your preferred sightline.
Setup Tips
Degrease & Seat: Wipe mating surfaces; set the riser fully forward against the rail lug before tightening to mitigate shift under recoil.
Torque Correctly: Follow your optic manufacturer’s base-to-rail torque spec (typically 20–30 in-lb for many clamps—verify for your hardware).
Confirm Co-Witness: With fixed irons, expect a taller-than-absolute (or “heads-up”) sight picture; adjust as desired.
Zero & Record: After mounting, re-zero and note the click values; mark witness lines for quick visual checks.
Ideal Builds & Use Cases
Patrol/Duty Carbines: Comfortable, heads-up posture for long shifts and rapid transitions.
Competition & PCC: Faster dot acquisition and improved ergonomics during movement-heavy stages.
Night-Vision Trainers: Extra clearance for NV bridges and gas-mask workups.
Home Defense Setups: Intuitive sight picture under stress with room for a magnifier or irons.
Care & Maintenance
Periodic Check: Verify clamp tension after the first range session and after temperature swings.
Keep it Clean: Brush debris from rail slots; avoid over-lubing under the mount.
Re-Indexing: If removed, install in the same rail slots and re-torque to maintain zero.
