FAST™ is a series of scope mounts and platforms designed to provide end users with a faster sight image compared to standard height mounts. An optical centerline height of 2.26 inches allows for faster and easier target acquisition when wearing electronic hearing protectors, communications headphones, night vision devices and gas masks, and enables faster visual processing by promoting an upright posture. An upright posture also helps users maintain a neutral spinal position, which is more comfortable when carrying helmets, plate carriers and other heavy equipment.
The FAST™ FTC Magnifier Mounts feature the first-ever Flip-To-Center (FTC) mechanism (patented) that allows for complete stowage within the weapon receiver surface without affecting the scope's sight image. This provides the greatest optical performance with the lowest profile height during all operating modes. The revolutionary FTC feature completely solves the problem caused by traditional flip-to-side magnification mounts (when not in use, the magnification optic hangs to the side of the weapon, posing a significant hazard). The FAST™ FTC Magnifier Mounts completely eliminate this danger and use a force overcoming mechanism for quick transitions. Designed for Aimpoint® magnifying optics (3XMag-1, 3X-C) and some other 30mm magnifying optics.
The FAST™ FTC Magnifier Mounts come complete with American Defense Manufacturing®'s patented QD Auto-Lock™ lever.
The FAST™ FTC Magnifier Mount is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and anodized black or FDE*.
