WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO LICENSED AIRSOFT PRODUCTS FROM THE FIREARMS AND PARTS INDUSTRY,
PTS SYNDICATE IS ALWAYS A COMPANY WORTH LOOKING OUT FOR! IN THE FIRST OF WHAT WE HOPE WILL
PROVE TO BE MANY COLLABORATIONS “ON PAGE”, CHRIS FROM THE AIRSOFT & MILSIM NEW BLOG BRINGS
US NEWS OF THE VERY LATEST ADDITIONS TO THE EXPANSIVE PTS SYNDICATE RANGE.
The latest new additions to the UNITY Tactical
licensed product family are the FAST Micro
Mount and Micro Riser that some of you have
been waiting for to come out. In this review, we´ll
focus on the Micro Mount first.
THE IDEA
Unity Tactical FAST is a series of optic mounts that
provide end users with a quicker sight picture than
standard height mounts. A 2.26” optical centerline
height provides faster/easier reticle acquisition while
wearing electronic earpro/communications headsets,
night vision goggles and gas masks and allows for
more rapid visual processing of the battlefield by
promoting a heads-up posture.
A heads-up posture also helps users maintain a
neutral spine position which is more comfortable
while wearing helmets, plate carriers, and other heavy
gear.
MICRO MOUNT
The PTS FAST Micro Mount is built from 6000 series
Aluminum Alloy (black anodized). The Micro Mount
is compatible with the Aimpoint® Micro (H1, H2,
T1, T2, CompM5) series and other optics with the
Aimpoint® Micro footprint such as those found on
many Sig Sauer®, Holosun®, Primary Arms®, and
Vortex Optics® platforms.
As you would expect from a licensed product,
the UNITY Tactical trademark can be found on the
right side of the mount. One small detail is missing
regarding to the “real deal”. Right under the UNITY
name – the PAT PEND| CAGE 81C38 number. Except
for this, every other marking is where it should be to
give this replica an authentic look.
Of course, there´s a reminder at the bottom that
this product is made for “Airsoft Use Only” for those
thinking to grab a cheap deal on the real deal.
The Micro Mount features built-in standard height
back up iron sights (BUIS) that keep your airsoft gun
uncluttered without reducing capability. Those of you
that run smaller gun platforms, such as PDW/SMGs,
know that rail space can become a critical thing when
mounting lasers, light/switches and sling attachment
points to it.
If your gun offers enough rail space, you´re good
to go with your preferred BUIS or you make a fusion
of both. How does this work? The front sight post
can be removed so that the rear BUIS aperture from
the Micro Mount can be used with a traditional front
sight, creating a more conventional sight radius.
As seen here on my setup, I run it with standard
old school CQB BUIS. I actually use the back sight too.
Looks cool to me - I like it but it also works well.
The Micro Mount comes with a standard rail-
