Optic Mounts
ANVL is ANR Design’s machined-hardware line — CNC-cut in Manchester, NH, born from the same shop that molds holsters around this hardware every day. The UKON series is the centerpiece: micro red dot mounts with integrated backup iron sights built into the mount itself — absolute co-witness BUIS at 1.93″ height, in optic-specific models for the Aimpoint T2, Holosun AEMS and 509TX2, Trijicon RMR, and more — alongside the Mjölnir riser system for modular Picatinny height. Made in the USA, machined to zero-play tolerances.

The UKON — Backup Irons Built Into the Mount
Every red dot fails the same way: battery, emitter, or glass, always at the wrong moment — which is why serious rifles wear backup irons. The UKON solves it without spending an inch of rail: a single-focal-plane backup iron sight package machined directly into the mount, absolute co-witness through your optic’s window, with an elevation-adjustable AR-pattern front post that tunes for subsonic and supersonic loads alike. Your dot dies, your sights are already there — same eyeline, zero transition.
Each UKON is machined for its specific optic — the Aimpoint T2, Holosun AEMS and AEMS 1.93, Holosun 509TX2, Trijicon RMR, and R4T footprints each get their own model at 1.93″ height-over-bore — because a mount that “fits most” fits nothing at zero-play tolerance. The Mjölnir riser line rounds out the system: modular Picatinny risers and extensions for dialing height and rail real estate to your build.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the UKON different from a standard mount?
The integrated backup iron sights — machined into the mount body itself, absolute co-witness, elevation adjustable. Most mounts hold your optic; the UKON also holds your fallback plan, without a separate BUIS set eating rail space.
Which optics do you make UKON mounts for?
Optic-specific models for the Aimpoint T2, Holosun AEMS (standard and 1.93), Holosun 509TX2, Trijicon RMR, and R4T footprints — each machined for its exact optic, not adapted with shims.
What’s 1.93″ height and why does it matter?
Height-over-bore — 1.93″ is the modern standard for rifles run with night vision, plates, or a heads-up shooting posture, sitting taller than the older lower-third setups for a faster, more natural index.
Are ANVL mounts made in the USA?
Yes — every ANVL mount is CNC-machined in the USA to zero-play tolerances.
Do you make the holsters and gear to match?
That’s the point of the ANVL line — the hardware is designed alongside ANR Design’s holsters, so your optics, mounts, and carry gear come from one house that knows exactly how they fit together.
