MFI has a long history of being a Licensed BATF 07 Manufacture with a SOT / Class II & III we get many requests for products that do not exist or for improvements to existing products / ideas on the market. This item is a direct response from US Military requests for a longer scope mount that will fit UNIFORMLY all MP5 and G3 Variants.
Made Specifically for LIVE WEAPONS. In other words this is NOT some toy or piece of airsoft CRAP made of questionable pot metal in foreign factories by people who have never even seen a real machinegun. Others less reputable dealers are known to try to sell items that were intended for airsoft bb guns and hope you do not notice until it is too late... meaning when you are dead due to a failure of their untested / junk product.
MFI is the GENUINE ARTICLE / REAL DEAL that others copy. This is one of the lowest profile mount available on the market. Designed for MP5 or any G3 variant to mount either Red Dots / Aim Points or Conventional Scopes. By far the Most Cost Effective WITHOUT Sacrificing Quality HK Scope Mount on the market.
Note that the attachment mechanism is NOT a quick release style like found on the original HK mounts. We thought about using some sort of quick release but, as we have heard that the Original HK Mount in a tactical situation has been known to un-lock if you accidentally hit that paddle lever. It does take a little more time to mount these (2-3 minutes) but, once they are in place they will never accidentally un-lock.
Additionally we made these with the LOWEST PROFILE possible so that they do NOT interfere with the open / iron sites when a scope is not in place. The profile is so low that there is no reason to remove the mount once it has been attached to the weapon system as it does not interfere with any normal function or cleaning.
Lastly: 100% Picatinny / Mil. Spec. 1913 Correct. Meaning that your expensive LaRue or SWAN Throw Lever / Quick Release / ARMS Scope Rail Mount will lock 100% the way it was intended. We have seen the influx of hundreds foreign made mounts, rings, risers, rails etc. that claim to be Throw Lever compatible but, are NOT. This one is 100% COMPATIBLE!
