Best mount available - American Defense Manufacturing Vortex Spitfire 1x Mount

This is the absolute best mount available for the Spitfire Gen1. I'm so sad to say that they went to the new gen optic, but if you are lucky enough to have the Gen1 then THIS is definitely the mount you are looking for. I found that for my face shape and stock configurations I was able to use the low mount more constructively than the high mount using this optic mount. So having said that I would recommend taking the time to put things together for what you think will work, test fit it and then take it apart and reassemble with thread locker. Don't get dead set that you are going with the high mount because it will co-withness with your flip up sights or whatever perfectly and threadlock everything together right out of the box. Sorta think your way through why you bought an optic that has an etched reticle in the first place? Failure mode is a black reticle right. Why did you buy a QD mount? in case the glass is destroyed and you can't see through the optic and you need to get it off the gun in a hurry to use those irons. So what difference does co-witness make again? Back to the mount. I love it. It's bombproof and will repeat zero after removal and installation. You probably will need to adjust the tension on the lever to make sure that your not having to crank down on the lever to get it to lock into place. I found that it should be at about 30 degrees from closed before any resistance is felt is just about right. Highly recommended!
