Great riser
This riser performs as advertised. I can now reach my bolt and the quick disconnect really helps in the field. I'm able to switch between scopes easily so I can swap my night vision scope for my daytime scope without a problem.

Seemed good at first....
Seemed good at first....but the more I shot my rifle, I found that one, if not both, of the quick release flips would come loose. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. I took it off my rifle and replaced it with a standard riser.
Recommend with caveats.
I wanted to make a dot-plus-magnifier setup quick detachable. This was the lowest long QD Picatinny riser I could find.
It works now but I had to put a lot of effort into it. The portion below the rail on either end, opposite the side with the levers, was too wide. The clamping mechanism didn't have enough travel to clamp onto the rail. It had to be filed down a lot before it would clamp onto a Picatinny base. I mean I had to take off a LOT of metal. The Picatinny base to which I attached it is out of spec, as most of them are--but it's 0.844" wide where spec is 0.833", so it isn't a case of the QD mechanism not clamping down on a rail because it was too narrow.
And then less than 200 rounds of .22 made the nuts vibrate loose and unscrew themselves. I had to disassemble it again, clean it, put red Loctite on the threads of the bolts, reassemble it, and set the spacing and the tension before the threadlocker set. Now it clamps on properly and holds properly. I know Picatinny rails aren't always in spec, especially when we're talking about a no-name Chinese scope mount for a 10/22 rather than milspec, and even milspec rails aren't in spec half the time either, once you start measuring. And that's why QD stuff has nuts you have to set in order to set clamp spacing and tension for the rail you're putting it on. I get that this is part of installation and unavoidable. But machining and QC so bad that it wouldn't even clamp onto a rail that was oversize by over .010" ...

Pros:
- you can get it to fit if you put in the work
Cons:
- mediocre machining, bad QC, unlikely to fit out of the box
Best Used for:
- making a red dot + magnifier setup hot swappable
Would recommend: Yes
incompatible with Ruger LC 45 carbine
It wiggles back and forth 1/8 inch. Otherwise, build and quality is acceptable for self defense use. Adjustable locking nut is a circle— not hexagonal— making it difficult to hold secure.
Pros:
- Quality
- Build
Cons:
- None
Would recommend: No
Needed some elevation for my scope.
Works great easy installation everything was as promised
Would recommend: Yes
Quick detatch pic rail
Great product. Well made and holds up to big caliber firearms.
Would recommend: Yes
works good
Would have liked to have pins to stabilize the springs but it came with a note stating that you're supposed to hold it while clamping down but it does what it's supposed to so I'll not deduct anything
Would recommend: Yes
complete junk
Very very cheaply made. The levers had minor rust on them when i got it. Not to mention that the levers flex a lot and do not have a locking keeper. I would not recommend to use on anything with heavy recoil or to mount anything on it that you care about.
Would recommend: No

handles kept popping loose
The quick release handle to the rear of the mount, keeps popping loose due to recoil. It wants to pop back with the recoil. Had to turn it to go the same way as the front release, so that it was going with recoil, instead of against. Will be replacing with a simple bolt on riser instead.
Would recommend: No
