Installing An Optic On The Universal Red Dot Mount for Pistols
The Volquartsen Universal Red Dot Mount provides drilled and tapped mounting points for the most popular optics on the market. This mount allows for your optic to be mounted as close to the bore-axis as possible. This installation process will be the same whether you're utilizing the aftermarket Universal Red Dot Mount or one of our integrated options such as our replacement receiver, LLV4-X uppers, Mamba-X pistol, or ENV pistol.
Tools Needed
- Hex or torque keys as appropriate to mount your optic
- Removal of the filler screws in the upper will require either a 1/16, 5/64, or 3/32 hex key
- A clean, non-slip surface, such as our Cleaning Mat
Important Information!
Please note that all mounting holes in your upper have come from the factory
with pre-installed filler screws. You will need to remove the screws from
all applicable holes before using them to mount your optic.
Be careful to use the correct size hex driver to remove any filler screws or install any mounting screws. Do not over tighten screws.
