Not the best pic of the riser being used, but the tanodizing is pretty spot on.

Re-watched the video, I'm "golden" now I know a bit about the mount. Thanks , Cheers.

OK, so if I understand this, the "screw" would attach the magnifier to the riser?

I'm sorry if I'm confused, this is my first look @ this product. Thank BTW.

Take a look at the commercially available version of the riser which may answer your questions:

Wilcox Riser Kit for EOTech

The Wilcox Flip Mount with Riser System (61100G01-B, 611000G02-B, 61100G03-B), designed for the ability to raise the optic off the weapon’s receiver for better compatibility with protective masks and other mission-essential equipment.

Last question, does the G33 magnifier require the use of a 7mm "spacer" or is it a direct mount? & does the spacer come in the box with the G33
Thanks in advance 😎🍻

The g33 does not require a height spacer when using a xps eotech with this Wilcox mount

 

[Om3ga9000]

If using the EXPS3, the spacer will need to be used with the G33. My .410 1MO/wilcox riser just showed up today. Is it me or does it feel lighter than the commercially available wilcox mount with the removable FTS?

What's the "average" wait time to grab one of these? if that's even possible to answer? Any "other" trusted sources? Thanks in advance.

For those lucky enough "end users" what is the difference in the option for the flip mount with the "integral" or "thumb screw" ? choices?

It took a few of months for them to ship the preorders but part of the delay was because they ran into an issue with tolerances after anodizing. Now that they've gotten that dialed in, the lead times will most likely be shorter should they do another round of preorders.

 

[mildot]

Well this is the old "hurry up and wait" LOL, if anyone come across a good lead? don't hesitate to pass it along pls
Thanks troops, well done.

You can try reaching out to him on IG and ask where he got it anodized.

I don't he's going to divulge that information to me

Thanks for the photos, OP. I finally could snag one from the Bigtex drop, which sold out in 10 minutes for the .410 model, which they had 10 in stock. For those that are looking for an NV setup, they have two left for the .625 height:

1 Minute Out Wilcox FLip Mount w/ Riser for Eotech 0.625" | Big Tex Ordnance

Quick question? how much of a (noticeable) difference is there in the riser height? I understand the lower/closer bore height argument, however I'm just wondering if there much of a real difference? Thanks

Just got it today and put it on the CAG 416 build:

Nice. I have one on my Noveske in black and the new HK AR pistol grip which should be here in a week. 🤙
This is my before pic.

Quarter of an inch difference between the two heights. I think it's noticeable. Similar to cowitness and lower 1/3. Just enough to notice but not enough to affect your cheek position.

I guess if you're not running "irons" it may not be a "deal breaker"?
There are a few of the 5/8 version still available online?

The order will come wilcox iron sight riser sections that account for the height of the optic riser. Not sure how useable it is with a 1/3 cowitness eotech like the EXPS since this mount was developed for a unit that uses an absolute cowitness eotech (XPS model)

So I'm currently running a HWS EXPS3 and the G33, I don't use any "irons" at all. In your opinion? do you think the height difference is worth the wait? Thanks in advance. BTO had 3,so I could be G2G

 

[Om3ga9000]

I can't answer that since everyone likes the height of their optics a little different. I like lower 1/3rd best, which is variable from mfg to mfg. Typically it is between 1.5-1.7 or so. So your eotech EXPS alone sits at that 1.7 height, throw in .625 and you got 2.3" height. Since this is on an HK AR style rifle, it has a built in riser already due to the piston so it's a little higher than 2.3". So me personally, I would not get the 5/8th's riser. All that being said, sight height is all personal preference.

Thanks, I appreciate your candor & logic. Cheers.

Yeah as tempting as the 5/8 may be, I agree with @Om3ga9000 that you should hold off since they're going to be offering the .410 again.

 

[mildot]

Ya, it's pretty hard to refute his logic, I overlooked the HK receiver height in hindsight. It was a good sobering second thought. 🍻🙂

Great information!
