Product Details

The STRIX-9 is a compact, purpose-built optic riser designed for shooters who want a streamlined setup without sacrificing precision or durability. Machined from premium 7075-T6 aluminum, it offers exceptional strength while maintaining a lightweight profile.

Featuring a 9-slot Picatinny rail, the STRIX-9 mirrors standard AR upper receiver slot spacing in a shorter, more compact footprint. This makes it ideal for red dots, compact prisms, or lightweight magnified optics where minimal length and clean mounting are priorities.

Features:

  • 7075-T6 Aluminum

  • Hard Coat Anodizing

  • 9-slot Picatinny

  • Integrated Recoil Lug

  • Reversible

  • 0.625″ Height

  • Steel Picatinny Clamps

  • Available in Black and Earth Brown

  • Designed and Manufactured in the USA

  • Berry Compliant

Whether you’re building a lightweight carbine, duty rifle, or minimalist competition setup, the STRIX-9 delivers rock-solid alignment and a reduced footprint to keep your optic exactly where you need it.

Description

The True North Concepts STRIX-9 Riser is the compact, purpose-built sibling of the STRIX-16 optic riser, made for shooters who want a clean optic mount without adding length to the rifle setup. Built in the United States for carbine, duty rifle, and minimalist competition use, this optic riser gives a steady, repeatable platform for a red dot sight, holographic sight, prism optic, or lightweight magnifier. The riser is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in hard coat anodize, so it handles recoil, weather, and hard handling without wearing through.

At a 9-slot Picatinny rail, the STRIX-9 optic riser mirrors standard AR upper receiver slot spacing in a shorter, low profile footprint, keeping the cantilever section over your handguard short and predictable. The integrated recoil lug drops into a recoil slot on your upper rail to anchor the riser and hold zero through repeated rounds, supporting real time target acquisition shot after shot.

The STRIX-9 sits at a reversible 0.625" riser height, putting your optic on the optical centerline for proper alignment and faster target acquisition. Steel Picatinny clamps lock the riser to the rail of an AR upper receiver or similar Picatinny rail, and the reversible design lets you flip the unit so the recoil lug seats in the opposite direction depending on your preferred setup. Available in Black and Earth Brown, this optic riser works with a red dot, holographic sight, magnifier, or compact prism, and clears most night vision device and gas mask configurations.

For shooters running a co-witness setup, the 0.625" riser height delivers an absolute co-witness with most factory iron sight heights, improving head-up ergonomics and letting you transition from optic to backup iron sight without losing your sight picture. Mounting hardware is included, and the steel clamp design lets the end user torque this rifle accessory down without crushing threads or stripping out screws.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The STRIX-9 is shorter, with a 9-slot Picatinny rail instead of 16, which keeps this optic riser compact for shorter uppers and minimalist rifle setups.

  • Yes. The integrated recoil lug seats in the upper receiver recoil slot and the steel Picatinny clamps keep the riser locked to the rail through repeated rounds, supporting real time target acquisition without zero shift.

  • The 9-slot footprint fits most red dot sights, holographic sights, compact magnifiers, and prism optics that use a standard Picatinny rail mount, giving shooters wide flexibility to swap optics as the rifle setup changes.

  • The STRIX-9 sits at a reversible 0.625" riser height, giving most shooters an absolute co-witness with standard iron sight heights for proper alignment between optic and backup iron sight.

  • Yes. The low profile 0.625" riser height clears most night vision device setups and works behind a gas mask for shooters running clearance gear.

  • The STRIX-9 optic riser is designed and manufactured in the United States and is Berry Compliant for military, law enforcement, and federal end users.
