Calculated Kinetics - MAC 9 DS Optic Plate with Iron Sight

The primary function of the Calculated Kinetics MAC 9 DS Optic Plate is to provide a reliable mounting solution for optics on the MAC 9 series firearms. It facilitates the attachment of RMR footprint optics, ensuring precise alignment and co-witnessing capabilities with the included Angry Bear Arms front iron sight. This setup allows shooters to maintain a consistent point of aim, even if the optic fails, enhancing reliability in tactical and competitive shooting scenarios.

Co-witnessing allows shooters to align their iron sights with the red dot optic, providing a backup aiming solution. This is particularly beneficial in situations where the optic may fail or when transitioning between targets at varying distances. The lower 1/3rd co-witness offered by the MAC 9 DS Optic Plate ensures that the iron sights remain visible through the optic window, allowing for quick target acquisition without compromising accuracy.

The MAC 9 DS Optic Plate is constructed from 7075 hard anodized material, known for its strength and durability. This material choice ensures that the optic plate can withstand rigorous use and harsh environmental conditions without compromising its structural integrity. The hard anodized finish further protects against corrosion and wear, making it ideal for both tactical applications and long-term use.

The MAC 9 DS Optic Plate is compatible with RMR footprint optics, including Holosun and Osight models. It also supports Trijicon RMR/RMR Type 2 optics. However, it is not compatible with optics that have forward protrusions, such as the SRO, RMR HD, or 507 Promax. For ACRO footprint and MPS optics, a 3D printed insert is included to ensure a snug fit, expanding the versatility of this mounting solution.

The package includes a Torx Bit and a small tube of Vibratite for secure installation. These tools ensure that the optic plate is properly mounted to the firearm, reducing the risk of loosening during use. The inclusion of Vibratite helps to lock the screws in place, providing additional security and maintaining zero even under recoil.

While the MAC 9 DS Optic Plate supports a wide range of RMR footprint optics, it has limitations with certain models. It is not compatible with optics that have forward protrusions, such as the SRO, RMR HD, or 507 Promax. Users should verify the dimensions and design of their optics to ensure compatibility. Additionally, the plate is not compatible with MAC included plates or other manufacturers' optic plates, which should be considered when planning your setup.

The MAC 9 DS Optic Plate enhances the shooting experience by providing a stable and reliable platform for optics. Its design allows for quick and easy installation of compatible optics, improving target acquisition speed and accuracy. The co-witnessing capability with the Angry Bear Arms front iron sight ensures that shooters have a backup aiming solution, which is crucial in high-stress or tactical situations.

The Angry Bear Arms front iron sight included with the MAC 9 DS Optic Plate is specifically designed to work seamlessly with the plate. It provides a reliable co-witnessing solution, allowing shooters to maintain sight alignment even if the optic fails. This is particularly important in tactical scenarios where reliability and quick target acquisition are critical. The front sight's compatibility with Agency Prodigy plates further extends its utility across different setups.

The MAC 9 DS Optic Plate ensures secure mounting through its comprehensive hardware package. It includes various screws tailored for different optics, such as M3 X 9MM screws for Holosun and Osight, and 6-32 X 0.417" screws for Trijicon RMR. This ensures a snug fit and reliable attachment, minimizing the risk of the optic shifting during use. The inclusion of a 3D printed insert for ACRO and MPS optics further enhances compatibility and security.

The MAC 9 DS Optic Plate is not compatible with other manufacturers' optic plates. It is specifically designed for use with the MAC 9 series and certain compatible optics, ensuring optimal performance and fit. Attempting to use it with other plates may result in improper alignment or mounting issues, which could affect the reliability and accuracy of your shooting setup.
