The Springfield Armory Echelon Variable Interface System plate for the Docter footprint lets you mount a Docter-pattern red dot on the Echelon pistol (Springfield Armory part no. EC5077DOCSET). The Echelon uses movable pins in its Variable Interface System to give a low, direct optic mount, and this steel adapter plate adds support for the Docter footprint. A nitride coating protects the plate from corrosion. Springfield notes that the manufacturer-supplied screws that come with an optic may need modification. It is a simple way to put a compact Docter-pattern dot on an Echelon.

Key Specifications

• The optic footprint is Docter, so the plate fits red dots that use the Docter mounting pattern.
• The pistol it is built for is the Springfield Armory Echelon, which uses the Variable Interface System with movable pins.
• The plate is steel, a strong material to hold an optic under recoil.
• The finish is a corrosion-resistant nitride coating, which protects the plate from wear and rust.
• Springfield lists the Steiner MPS, Viridian RFX45 and Advanced Optics RD3-009 with the Docter plate, so check your optic against the maker’s compatibility list.
• The manufacturer-supplied screws may need modification for some optics, so plan on checking screw length before final mounting.
