The MIRS mount (McCann Industries Integrated Rail System) was initially built to attach devices, such as the AN/PVS-22 Universal Night Sight ® (UNS) in front of the day scope on the Army’s M24 sniper rifle. Two side rails also allow attachment of other devices such as lasers and lights.
The McCann Industries MIRS mount starts life as a 14.5 lbs. block of 7075T6511 bar. It measures 2x3x14.500 inches. With a cost of $50.00 per bar. When machining has been completed the weight drops from 14 lbs. to 14.5 ounces, a reduction of nearly 1,600%. This is not the cheapest way to make a mount, but it is the best way.
After all machine process is done, a careful deburr and vibratory tumbling is done to ensure a smooth snag free surface.
Our mount is hard coat anodized to mil spec 8625 class II type 3. The MIRS Mount is offered in three colors: Black, black and black, Did we say Black! All dimensions have been proven to work with all known ring sets of the "weaver or mil spec type".
The mount has been tested with two axis accelerometers, on two occasions by two independent testers to remove doubt about potentially harmful / damaging (to optics) harmonics that may be present. Many, many thousands of rounds of ammunition have been fired through rifles with the MIRS/M24 mount attached. It is our strong recommendation that all fasteners be upgraded to 8-40 size from 6-48. In the event fasteners are not upgraded, there will be no warranty from McCann Industries that will apply.
This mount is in use by the federal government special operations community to include Special Operations Forces, Rangers, Navy, F.B.I., and more.
