The Pulsar PL34000 Locking QD Mount delivers secure, repeatable optic positioning for AR-15 platforms and rifles with Weaver/Picatinny rails. This mount eliminates the common problem of optic shift during transport or field use through its integrated locking mechanism and quick-detach functionality.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard ring mounts that rely solely on clamping pressure, the PL34000 incorporates a positive locking system that prevents accidental loosening under recoil or vibration. The quick-detach levers allow rapid optic removal without tools while maintaining zero upon reattachment. Aircraft-grade aluminum construction provides strength without excessive weight, making it suitable for both tactical applications and hunting rifles where ounces matter.
Key Features
- Locking quick-detach mechanism maintains zero through multiple mount/dismount cycles
- Matte black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum construction resists corrosion and wear
- Compatible with AR-15/M16 platforms and all MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails
- Tool-free installation and removal via cam-lever operation
- Low-profile design minimizes snag points and maintains sight line clearance
- Precision-machined surfaces ensure consistent clamping force across rail interface
- Spring-loaded locking tabs provide audible confirmation of secure engagement
Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes and high round counts. The mount maintains its grip on both steel and aluminum rail systems, making it suitable for competition shooting where quick optic changes are necessary, law enforcement applications requiring reliable equipment, and hunting scenarios where weight savings and durability are priorities. The locking mechanism functions reliably even when exposed to dust, moisture, and carbon fouling.
