The American Defense AD-1700-XLR Riser (brand part no. AD-1700-XLR-STD) is a quick-detach extended-length Picatinny riser built for shooters running an EOTECH holographic sight and magnifier combo, or a helmet-mounted night vision device that needs the optic pushed forward and up. American Defense Mfg machines the riser to add a .60″ rise above the mounting surface while its forward cantilever clears the handguard for a proper cheek weld and eye relief.

Key Specifications

• Adds a .60″ rise above the mounting surface for use with NV devices or stacked optic setups.
• Measures 5.5″ overall length, giving a forward cantilever that clears AR handguards.
• Sets a 2″ centerline height for EOTECH 512/XPS model sights.
• Sets a 2.33″ centerline height for the EOTECH EXPS model sight.
• Uses the patented QD Auto Lock lever system for a secure hold on in-spec and out-of-spec Picatinny rails.

Frequently Asked Questions

What optics is this riser designed for? It is built for the EOTECH XPS and EXPS holographic sight lines, including EOTECH magnifier combos.

Why would I need this much rise? The extra height is intended for shooters running a helmet-mounted night vision device behind the EOTECH, or who need extra centerline height for a proper cheek weld with a magnifier stacked behind the sight.

Does it stay zeroed when removed and reinstalled? Yes, the QD Auto Lock lever is designed to return to the same locked position every time.
