Midwest Industries is proud to release our own line of optic mounts.
With quality in mind we are working to bring to the shooting community a high end mount for the most popular optics and accessories on the market.
This is just the beginning, with more mounting solutions in the works.
Always nice to see new options, and MI seems to be doing lots of good things these days. I have a few questions though:
Are these made of 6061 aluminum? (I assume yes.)
The clamp design looks a little bit similar to a popular clamp from a company with the same initials as an unrelated agribusiness well known in your part of the country. I can’t tell for sure but it looks like your design has the lock/release button for the lever as a separate piece instead of mounted on the lever. Can you explain how this works and how it differs from existing popular clamps? A brief video of the clamp would be helpful.
On the 30mm scope mount, can you tell me the weight, forward extension of the front ring, and height of the centerline over the rail? I know what the last two will be within a 1/2" and .2" respectively, but I’ve found that even a few hundredths difference in optic height makes a difference to how well I like the mount.
Mounts are constructed of 6061.The height of the 30mm scope mount is 1.5 from the top of the rail to the C/L of the ring.The offset of the ring is 1.400.
The clamp and QD system are nothing like the other guys and carry their own patent with other patents pending. Our system is a cam on center design. Much smoother and far superior, No shifting in the clamp position when closing. Much tighter tolerances in the cross bolt that give us better repeat zero performance. These are just a few of the things that make this superior product to anything on the market in our opinion. Please look at our web site for additional information.

Is the Aimpoint PRO mount true co-witness?
As pictured here it is lower 1/3rd co witness
We will be offering a cantilever riser for Aimpoint optics as well.
Hey Midwest Industries, good morning,
AWESOME Job/design with your QD mounts!
I’m wondering IF you guys plan on making anything like these for Flashlights… I’d like this type of set-up for My Flamethrower :laugh: It’s a pretty Bright
flashlight for sure… which is why I endearingly called it My “Flamethrower” however, Maybe I should be careful saying that, for all I know, there’s a flashlight out
there actually called a flamerthrower… 
Peace Jeff
Never say Never . Right now we are concentrated on getting the next 6-12 parts introduced but we will put that in the suggestion box and look into it.
thanks

I spoke with MI.
What did I learn?
They are a very friendly, and open company. They do not “weasel around” regarding what they can tell you and can’t, and they don’t throw out “It’s proprietary” like they are scared I’m building a knock-off in my basement. In short, I would be happy to know they made money from me.
Now for the technical:
The tube mount (scope) has shown in informal testing <1MOA shift. I was told “shooting over and over the shoot n see stickers at 100 yards, boringly.” Those are about 1", IIRC. I asked “If I have a 1/2 MOA shooter, ammo, and weapon, and barring environment, would you be confident saying that if I mount and unmount your QD optic mount correctly (index it forward, same slot, etc.) that I would never strike outside of a 1” circle at 100 yards?" I was given an emphatic “Yes”.
The cross-bolt is stainless, and the nut is 4140.
The mount indexes mainly on the TOP of the rail. There was a big push from NATO to begin using the top of the rail as the main index point because it is the most “true” surface, and enhanced zero retention/return greatly, over a large sampling of rifles.
The adjustment nut is 12-sided, and I personally think that this is enough even for the most finely calibrated fingers, having myself owned ADM 6-point and 8-point products.
I personally cannot find a problem with the product, mentally, modelling it in my mind. It seems very well thought out, minimalist, and effective. I plan on buying one.
Oh, I did want to mention, the lever design used is tried and true.
I asked them about their price point, and shared politely my connotation of such. They fielded the question like a pro, and told me that they do not sponsor a bunch of shooters, etc. and so can sell cheaper. ADM vs. LaRue business model, basically.
Also of note, the Aimpoint M4 mount will NOT WORK with the M4s model due to the battery compartment UNLESS the lower 1/3CW spacer is used, and then it will work.
COOL, Good info. WS6…
And Thanks for the reply Troy…
Peace Jeff
Wow you guys are sure hitting me at the correct time. I am actively looking to buy an ACOG mount. What are the benefits of the dual lever to the single lever?
The 2 lever is actually designed to be used with the VCOG. The single lever mount not only weighs less, but also returns and holds zero perfectly when properly installed.
Thank you for the response, you have a new customer.
Good looking products. Field reviews should be interesting.
WOOT! Been looking for a good lower 1/3 mount for my PRO that won’t cost me my first born…
Full cross lug? And to clarify, version available for the low mount, identical to factory cross screw on the T/H1? This is for a Benelli SBE II.
Full stainless cross lug with a square shape (not round).
Sweet! Tks! Low mount as well?
I am liking that Aimpoint Pro mount. I’m buying a new Pro optic next week, and have been debating what mount to buy. I’m going to try yours, it looks solid.
Thanks for sharing the info, it is appreciated.
I do not know. I’m just going off of data I’ve gleaned. I’m not affiliated.
