Overview

The KDG SIDELOK MRO mount holds a Trijicon MRO at a 1.57-inch optical centerline, which puts standard AR iron sights in the lower third of the window. The MRO ships from Trijicon with a low base that sits too far below the bore axis for a co-witness, so a taller aftermarket mount is the normal fix; this one supplies the height and a quick-detach interface in a single part.

SIDELOK uses a guarded push-button cam in place of a throw lever or tension knob, so nothing protrudes past the side of the receiver to catch on slings, plate carriers, or door frames. KDG states the mount returns to zero when reinstalled in the same rail position. The base measures 2.25 inches long and 1.10 inches wide, weighs 3.9 ounces on its own, and wears a black anodized finish.

KDG lists the Trijicon MRO, the MRO Patrol, and the Burris RT-1X as the optics that fit this footprint.

Key Features

  • 1.57-inch optical centerline for lower-third co-witness
  • Trijicon MRO and MRO Patrol footprint
  • Also fits the Burris RT-1X
  • Tool-less push-button SIDELOK attachment
  • Secondary safety resists unintended release
  • 2.25-inch base length and 1.10-inch width
  • Black anodized finish

Pros

  • +Solves the MRO's low factory base and adds quick-detach in one part
  • +Published centerline removes lower-third height guesswork
  • +No protruding throw lever to snag on gear

Cons

  • Only the 1.57-inch height is offered in this SKU
  • Fits three listed optics, so it is not a general-purpose base
  • Costs more than Trijicon's own fixed riser bases
