Trijicon RMR?

[13MPG]

I am thinking about picking up a Trijicon RMR RM01. My thoughts are to run it on an AR or use it on an AK. For the AK I am leaning towards the BP-02 mount and have no clue as far as what mount to get for the AR. I know that most people would recommend the Ultimak rail but I am not sure if the RMR can take the heat. Anyone have any pics of a RMR/BP-02 on an AK?

Thanks!

I used to be a Supervisor in the Trijicon ACOG Department. Now I'm a Military and Law Enforcement Equipment Retailer.

The new Trijicon RMR (Ruggedized Miniature Reflex) sights are extremely rugged and durable. It's a true "second generation sight" that is vastly improved over the Trijicon TRD (Red Dot) sights.

Some of the benefits:
- Improved durability (made out of the same Aircraft Grade Aluminum as the ACOG Scopes).
- Improved adjusters (new click & lock adjusters like a normal scope)
- The ability to select LED illumination or Fiber Optic / Tritium illumination

You'll need to make sure your rail is either Weaver or Picatinny Rail compatible.

If it's a Picatinny Rail you'll need the RMR plus one of the following mounts:
RM33
RM34

If it's a Weaver Rail you'll need the RMR plus the following mount:
RM34W

If you're talking about recoil.....no need to worry there. The RMR sights are made for heavy use on military style weapons.

As to the "heat factor" I don't know the exact specs of how "hot" the sight can get. I do know that the RMR will have similar heat tolerance to other sights out there from Aimpoint, EOTech, etc. If your rail gets RED HOT after firing you might want to contact Trijicon directly to figure out exact heat tolerances.

If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask. I'll be monitoring this thread. Have a good day!

Are there any QD mount options available yet? I've not found any on Larue's site. I thought I'd seen a reference to ADM offering one but did not find it mentioned on their site either.

Thanks

I don't think there are any QD mounts for the RMR sights yet. The 3 major players I look at for good quality QD mounts is ARMSMounts.com, GGGaz.com, and LarueTactical.com (we offer ARMS and GGG, but Larue won't sell through retailers).

(There are always some smaller outfits that make aftermarket mounts. Some of them are pretty good, but we can't be sure of the "military / law enforcement toughness" with the smaller outfits. So we just look at the majors.)

I do see that the above 3 major players are offering Aimpoint Micro QD mounts, and I imagine that within 6-8 months they will come out with RMR QD mounts (as it takes time to realize that the new optics are big sellers and time to design / manufacture the new mounts).

I'm actually kinda surprised that Trijicon doesn't come out with it's "own" line of QD mounts. I think they would make a killing. I know they have the design capability, manufacturing capability, and they have a whole department of super smart engineers).

Thanks much MILWAR. The strong reviews of the RMR from pistol users have me thinking of using an LED 4 moa model as a primary optic on an N4 carbine this year.

No problem! Have a great weekend!

LaRue has one, though which one it is escapes me at the moment. It's used to mount the RMR atop the forthcoming MDO. I'll have to look it up

MILWAR, can you explain why Trijicon has not made the RMR with their 14 MOA chevron reticule? IMO this is the best reticule pattern they have.

MILWAR,

My first choice for mounting the RMR would be to use the AK mount that KVAR sells which would mount the optic over the receiver. I know that in that area heat would not be an issue. My concern is, if mounting it like that does not work out I would have to run it on an Ultimak. If I remember correctly the T1’s temp range is only a bit higher than the RMR and the T1 holds up great on the Ultimak. I’d hate to spend $500 on an optic only to cook it after a few hundred rounds.

ADM is making a mount for the RMR.

Awesome sight, by the way.
