TruGlo Picatinny Riser Mount – 1/2 Inch Rise

The TruGlo Picatinny Riser Mount (brand part number TG-TG8970B) raises your optic’s mounting surface by 1/2 inch on any standard Picatinny rail. Built by TruGlo from CNC-machined aluminum, it clamps directly to an AR-15 flattop or any other Picatinny-equipped receiver without modification, giving scopes or red dot sights the extra height needed for a proper cheek weld. The matte black finish blends in with most black rifle builds, and the riser installs in minutes with basic hand tools. It’s a simple, affordable way to correct eye relief and comb height on an AR-15 without swapping the stock or optic.
