The Truglo Universal Micro Red Dot Riser (brand part no. TG-TG8977B) is a CNC-machined aluminum mount built to raise a micro red dot to co-witness height on any Picatinny-equipped AR pistol or carbine. Truglo designed it for shooters running micro dots like the RMR-pattern footprint who need the optic sitting higher for a proper cheek weld or to line up with factory iron sights. Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum rather than cast alloy, the riser holds zero under recoil instead of flexing like cheaper stamped mounts. It’s a straightforward, no-tools-guesswork upgrade for anyone running a compact red dot on a rail-equipped rifle or pistol.

Key Specifications

• Uses a Picatinny rail/T.O.P.S. pattern footprint, so it mounts directly to any standard 1913 rail section without an adapter.
• Machined from CNC aircraft-grade aluminum for a rigid, zero-holding platform instead of a cast or stamped riser.
• Classified as a riser specifically designed to raise micro dot optics to a proper co-witness height with iron sights.
• Ships at approximately 0.32 lb, adding negligible weight to an AR pistol or carbine build.
• Compatible with popular micro dot optic footprints for a secure fit.
• Well suited to AR pistols and carbines running a compact red dot.
