Trijicon Extra High Mount – Quick Release – Fits Trijicon® ACOG® – Black Anodized – AC12044 – UPC 719307619098
Get the eye relief, posture, and speed you want—without compromising durability. The Trijicon Extra High Mount (AC12044) is a quick-release (QD) Picatinny mount engineered specifically for Trijicon® ACOG® optics. Its extra-high optical centerline delivers a more heads-up shooting position for faster dot/chevron acquisition, easier passive-aiming through night vision, and reduced neck strain when running armor, ear pro, or gas masks. Precision-machined and black anodized for hard use, this mount locks up tight, returns to zero when removed and reattached (rifle/optic dependent), and stands up to the abuse of classes, duty, and field conditions.
Why Extra High? A taller centerline aligns the optic with a natural, upright head position. That means quicker sight picture, less chin tuck, and better compatibility with modern plates, carriers, and NODs—all while keeping your ACOG rock solid.
Key Benefits
True heads-up ergonomics: Extra-height geometry promotes a neutral head angle for faster target acquisition and comfort over long training days.
Quick-release confidence: A robust QD lever clamps to 1913 Picatinny rails for rapid on/off without tools—ideal for transport, maintenance, or switching uppers.
Return-to-zero design: Precision machining and repeatable clamping force support consistent zero after removal and reinstallation.*
Duty-grade build: Hard-anodized aluminum body resists corrosion and abrasion, while steel hardware handles recoil and temperature swings.
ACOG-specific interface: Optimized footprint, recoil lugs, and fastener pattern maintain alignment and tracking with Trijicon ACOG prisms.
*As with all QD systems, actual RTZ performance depends on rail quality, torque/tension, and repeatable mounting technique.
Ideal Use Cases
Patrol & duty rifles: Faster sighting with armor/gas mask; easy optic removal for evidence or maintenance.
Night vision & passive aiming: Extra height helps align the ocular with NODs for a clean, unclipped sight picture.
Competition & training: Quick upper changes and fast confirmation of zero between stages or classes.
General-purpose carbines: Comfortable, modern stance for shooters of varied body types and PPE setups.
Feature Highlights
Compatibility: Trijicon® ACOG® optics (model dependent; see notes below).
Mount Type: 1913 Picatinny quick-release with adjustable tension.
Height Class: Extra high optical centerline for heads-up use and improved passive aiming.

Compatibility Notes: Designed for ACOG models that accept Trijicon’s standard mount footprint. Always verify your exact ACOG model before purchase. For non-ACOG prisms or red dots, use the manufacturer-specific mount.
On-Rifle Advantages You’ll Notice
Cleaner sight picture: Taller posture helps clear front sight towers, lasers, and cable management hardware from your line of sight.
Less neck strain: A natural cheek-to-stock weld and upright head angle reduce fatigue during extended drills.
Repeatable clamping: Positive lever feel and defined rail engagement make it easy to re-mount consistently.
Installation (Quick Start)
Unload & clear the firearm.
Attach the mount to your ACOG per Trijicon’s screw pattern and torque values (use non-permanent threadlocker if recommended).
Set rail tension: With the QD lever open, adjust tension so the lever closes firmly on the rail without excessive force.
Index & secure: Seat the mount forward against the rail’s recoil slot and close the lever fully.
Confirm zero: Re-zero after first installation; mark the rail slot for consistent remounting.
Pro Tip: Add a tiny witness mark on the lever and base. One glance tells you if anything has shifted after heavy reps or vehicle work.
Care & Maintenance
Keep interfaces clean: Wipe rail slots and mount lugs to prevent grit from affecting clamping or RTZ.
Check tension periodically: Reconfirm lever tension after temperature swings, hard impacts, or high round counts.
Protect the finish: Clean with mild solvent and a soft cloth; avoid harsh abrasives on anodizing.
Safety & Compliance
Use on in-spec rails only: Out-of-spec rails can compromise retention and zero.
Torque matters: Follow Trijicon’s torque guidance for optic screws; overtightening can damage threads.
Know your regs: Optic accessories must be used in accordance with federal, state, and local laws and agency policies.
