Has anyone tried one of these mounts yet? Thoughts?
They're 7075 & kind of similar hinge to the ARC mounts. Look interesting.

No that’s why I’m asking if anyone has tried one.Are you affiliated with the company? They seem a bit copycat.
The hinge concept is well proven. I’m more curious about the rail clamp set up.Hinges, really?
Seems like all kind of problems could happen with those.
In theory, at least without me thinking too hard about it . Seems like the triangle shape would put the clamping more evenly across the rail piece. Not sure if that actually helps or not with it holding the clamp or not. We don't really have an issue with high quality mounts slipping though as is or i haven't anyway. Always good to improve designs though. Doesn't look like there's a way to mount a red dot or laser or anything on top?The hinge concept is well proven. I’m more curious about the rail clamp set up.

True & good point. Badger & Geissele have that option if needed. For me this mount would be mid range 14.5 - 18" barrel & LPVO. I tend to lean towards offset irons in that application. The only AR I've got a dot on is a 22" 6ARC & for that the dot is mostly used to get aligned & prevent hunting for a plate in the scope off a barricade @600+ on 12x +Doesn't look like there's a way to mount a red dot or laser or anything on top?
Yeah I really don't like the dot on top of an AR /LPVO set up. I only have one on my other bolt to get on target quickly really. It's probably not something most will care about for this type of application but it's nice to be able to run a laser or range finder on top for NV.True & good point.

ARC used to make a high mount M10 - QDL @ 1.57" (pictured & discontinued), but the new style M-Brace is max ht 1.5"

Sort of. The other hinged mount out there, Scalarworks, had breakage issues and a corrective design change was implemented at some point in the last few years.The hinge concept is well proven. I’m more curious about the rail clamp set up. View attachment 8288179
The ARC rings and mounts have been very solid. The scalarworks had/has the hinge at the top of the ring or something didn't it? So one hinge vs 2. Not sure what changed in their design ect..Sort of.

Think they beefed up the hingeThe ARC rings and mounts have been very solid. The scalarworks had/has the hinge at the top of the ring or something didn't it? So one hinge vs 2. Not sure what changed in their design ect..
