The American Defense AD-MRO-LW QD Mount is a lightweight quick-detach mount purpose-built for the Trijicon MRO — around 20% lighter than ADM’s standard MRO mount — this version at absolute co-witness height, aligning the dot with AR-height iron sights. ADM’s patented Auto Lock QD lever attaches and removes the optic fast with repeatable return-to-zero, and self-adjusts to in-spec and out-of-spec Picatinny rails without tools.
Machined from 6061-T6 aluminium with a Type III Mil-Spec hardcoat anodised finish. Made in the USA.
Height: Absolute Co-Witness — also available in Lower 1/3 Co-Witness, or with a low-profile TAC lever as the AD-MRO Low TAC.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which optic does it fit?
The Trijicon MRO (Miniature Rifle Optic).
What does absolute co-witness mean?
The dot sits at the same height as AR iron sights, so they align through the window.
Does it return to zero?
Yes — the Auto Lock QD lever gives repeatable return-to-zero.
