Qualiity and finish of the product is good for the price. I have concern about the stability of the mount over time as the cross bar could be a little wider to sit more firmly in the motch on the rail. It does easily atatch and detach from my AR though which may be the trade off on the cross bar width.

Intended this as a mount for a scope to allow "quick release" option, but scope proved to be defective and the replacement came equipped that way, so ended up using the riser as a tactical light mount. Works Great. Complete unit, light and mount weigh less than 8oz.

At first I really did not know what to expect from this mount...as I have never bought a NC Star product before and all of the mixed reviews online about it left me wondering. However, I was not willing to fork over hundreds of dollars for a mount with the features of this one. Currently, I have it mounted on a Rock River Arms Mid length AR with a ARMS bilevel mid length rail system on it and all I have to say is this thing works great. I slapped a Redfield scope on it with Warne rings and it is very consistent. The screw for adjusting it leaves something to be desired though...you have to be careful not to over tighten it as it will strip and lock tight is a must.

I mounted my 1-4x scope on my AR with the rail. It has an easy access screw to adjust the tension to the picatinny rail,it's QD and so easy to move, it's is aluminum so it doesn't add much weight...it's just tall enough to clear a standard A.R.M.S. flip up rear but not so as to add too much bore height...it stays put (i added locktight) even with abuse...I can save money on the rail and spend it on better rings...I'm very happy with it, I recommend it to anyone looking for a QD riser rail system

I only rate tactical products based on function and comfort. I do not rate products based on the "cool factor." I have an AR-15 and an AK-47 that each have a Picatinny rail system. I wanted the ability to switch between a scope and red dot quickly with a return to zero capability. I have one rifle in which I use the A.R.M.S. brand quick mounts (which are the best) but they are quite pricy. I took a chance on the NcStar product and it paid off. This is not the equal to the A.R.M.S. brand, but it works. I am using them on both the AR and AK and they hold their zero. Make sure to remove the nut and set screw. Apply Locktite 242 (the blue stuff) to the set screw and screw it back in. Once you get the proper tightness of the mount to the rail, them apply Locktite to the set screw and screw on the lock nut.

I bought this for a ruger 10/22 that I'm building up. The base seems adequate for this caliber but don't know how it would react to higher recoil levels. One side of the clamp mechanism amounts to a single screw putting pressure on the side of the rail. Also have not tested zero repeatibility after removing the scope. I bought this because of the low price, and so far I'm pleased with it.
