When I first got my Type 81 underfolder, found Delta Dynamics, and saw they were sold out of their mount, I thought I had missed out. They kept me posted on when they were coming back into stock and as soon as they did I ordered. I was not disappointed.
The mount is rock solid. The screw pins are actually firm to thread into the mount when I installed it. Everything feels very solid. The mount sits as low as it can and still allows for the dust cover to be removed without losing zero. With my Crossfire 2 installed using the T2 pattern, it gives a low cheek/high chin weld which is decent given that the underfolder has a high sight picture already.
I love it and can't wait for the ban to reverse so I can take it out to the range!
One solid chunk of metal. A lot easier to install than it might seem.
Fits perfectly with my under folder thanks
This mount is built good, looks great and is very solid.
My only complaints are that my underfolder does hit the bottom of the mount which is marring the area causing damage and paint to scrape off.
I would have also liked the picatinny mount included to be held on by 3-4 screws for more solid mounting as it is kind of a sloppy fit.
At some point I would like to utilize the 4 red dot pre drilled threaded holes to make a mount adapter that would hold the picatinny rail. That would ensure a very solid pic rail mount.
Also including a few different lengths of picatinny to be used so you could really dial in the eye relief when using something like a 3x micro prism. I understand it was built for a red dot but it can easily be adapted for a more variety of optics this way.
I tried this option as a replacement for the more cumbersome master mount option which I personally don’t like the look of.
All in all it was a great buy, worth the money and had fun planning and building it to adapt for my usage.
Also, yes it can still be taken apart for cleaning and servicing without having to remove the optic or the complete mounting assembly even with the new extended pic rail installed.
Solid built mount easy enough of an install once I figured out how to get the pins out 10/10 would buy for any type 81
