Midwest Industries MP5 Tall T2 Optic Mount

The Midwest Industries MP5 Tall T2 mount is the answer for an SP5 or MP5 owner who wants a modern red dot without replacing the factory handguard. It is a one-piece 6061 aluminum unit that clamps directly to the MP5 receiver and presents an Aimpoint Micro T1/T2 footprint, so a T2 or a footprint-compatible Holosun bolts straight on with no adapter plate.

The mount sits at a tall, absolute-cowitness height, which puts the dot high enough to clear the MP5's diopter drum sights and gives a heads-up shooting position. That height suits close-quarters work, which is where these guns earn their keep. Because it uses the receiver clamp rather than a handguard rail, it keeps the classic slim MP5 profile intact.

Fitment covers the MP5, MP5K, and SP5 along with 9mm clones cut to the standard receiver profile. This is a direct footprint mount, not a Picatinny rail, so it hosts one T1/T2-footprint optic and nothing else. Pick the Midwest top-rail handguard instead if you want a rail that also carries irons or a light.
