The LEAP/10 is engineered for shooters seeking the most lightweight, robust and compact quick detach red dot sight mount available. It sets a new benchmark for attaching your Aimpoint CompM5s footprint-compatible optic to the picatinny top rail of your AR-15. The mount is offered in optic heights of 1.57 inches and 1.93 inches. The LEAP/10 is meticulously CNC machined from a single 7075-T6 aluminum billet, precisely crafted on all six sides for optimal strength-to-weight ratio A range of quick-detach mounts was evaluated on a digital test stand, which can apply a force of up to 1500 lb Utilizing this data, we refined our quick-detach mount design, resulting in the Leap - a market-leading, lightweight, and robust quick-detach mount The innovative clamp design ensures precise functionality and exceptional rigidity, enhancing operational efficiency and stability The design includes an oversized hooded through-hole to support the thumbscrew's shank, maximizing its diameter to fit within a picatinny channel The clamp is equipped with two precision-ground pins made of hardened steel, which are press-fitted to serve as guiding components Throughout its development, the leap mount underwent numerous stress tests prior to the creation of a single prototype Utilizing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) maximized performance efficiency by optimizing the use of each gram of material The innovative design process has culminated in an exceptionally efficient mount design, optimizing performance and functionality to the highest standard Each Leap mount is CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminum billet, offering superior mechanical properties compared to 6061-T6, prioritizing strength and durability over cost The Leap mount optimizes shooting performance by removing snag hazards and ensuring unobstructed weapon manipulation The Leap mount features an industry-leading ClickDrive quick-detach mechanism, offering a symmetrical design that extends less than 7mm from each side of the picatinny rail The ClickDrive features a low-profile thumbscrew and a low-friction telescoping clamp, allowing secure attachment to a rail using only hand-applied torque The integrated spring-loaded ball detent applies sufficient force against the crown, ensuring it is entirely recoil-proof The optics are meticulously assembled at our Easton, PA factory, with all components sourced directly from the original manufacturer
