Next Level Armament NLX Carry Handle Optics Mount (Aimpoint Micro)

Fixed carry handle rifles and retro AR builds make mounting a red dot awkward: the usual answer is to remove the handle, which leaves parts to carry or lose. The NLX Carry Handle Optics Mount clamps onto the handle itself with a thumb screw, so it installs and comes off without tools, and a see-through cavity keeps the iron sights usable underneath the optic.

The mount uses the Aimpoint Micro (T-2) footprint and is machined in the USA from 7075-T6 aluminum with a nitride coating. Next Level lists compatible optics including the Aimpoint Micro T-1, T-2, H-1, H-2, CompM5 and Duty RDS, Holosun 403, 503, 515, and 530 series, SIG Romeo4, Romeo5, and Romeo-MSR, and Vortex Spark AR and Crossfire, and tells buyers to confirm their optic's mounting pattern. Expect a tall sight line, since the optic sits on top of the handle.
