New BCM A/T Picatinny Optics Mount: First Look

Improving on Mil-Spec rail interfaces dating back over 30 years, the BCM A/T mount delivers an unprecedented zero retention on a properly mounted red dot optic. Low profile and snag-free, BCM A/T Mounts are built with a minimal number of components - delivering a stronger component with less points of failure, ready to take on dynamic and adverse settings. Each A/T Mount features multiple integral recoil lugs to mitigate recoil and counter recoil to preserve your zero and ensure “no fail” shots are placed where intended by the trained rifleman.

Starting at 2.15 oz, each 7075T6 billet mount is hard coat anodized per Mil-A-8625F. Additionally, both the steel alloy clamp and nut are hardened with Nitride coating. A/T (Angled Torque) mounts employ angled torque through a patented clamp which applies triangulating force to create a stronger and more reliable lock up of the mount onto the end user’s rail. To retain the hardware in field conditions, this system uses a serrated locking spring-washer to prevent the loss of torque on the shaft nut. With an equivalent load applied, the A/T Mount delivers approximately twice the clamping force at the picatinny rail, versus a legacy horizontal interface.
