Forward Controls Design PML Parallel Picatinny Red Dot Mount

PML (Parallel Mount, LPVO) is an offset Picatinny mount designed for use in conjunction with LPVO using a 1.93" mount. PML / PMA is a spin off that grew out of the side folding backup sights project (think Bren Gun offset sights). Side folding offsets sights would be costly to produce, a modern RDS would be faster and easier to use, and the parallel mount was created to do just that. PML can be mounted on the upper receiver (provided there is sufficient rail space), or a railed hand guard with available Picatinny rails at 12 o'clock, it can be mounted with the RDS on the left or right of the host rifle. A MRDS thus mounted is fast to use that takes but a slight shift (less than an inch) of the user's head to acquire the dot. Optionally, the user can choose to rotate a carbine or rifle with MRDS mounted on PMA, but no longer is necessary to rotate the weapon 45 degrees, PMA only needs 10 degrees of rotation. Do note that PML isn't a 45 degree offset mount, the way it's mounted and used
