GBRS Hydra Mount Kit

This product has been dividing shooters in the past days whether it is something they need or they just stick to available risers in the market. Last week, the GBRS Group announce their Hydra Dual Optic Mount. Perhaps you might want to call a dual Picatinny riser but for those who use shorter/compact weapons such as PDWs and SBRs where Rail real estate is valued, it allows for the installation of aiming devices such as Red Dots and PEQ boxes without compromising the shooter’s support grip when another aiming accessory is attached to the handguard.

Initially compatible with Aimpoint sighting devices, the GBRS Hydra Mount Kit can allow one to mount a a night compatible optic and an IR/laser device. This makes it easier for those with NVGs to acquire targets through their optics and the IR/laser device as well as comfortable aiming. It also allows more rail space for the mounting of devices on compact weapons. Since some devices are moved to the center of the rifle with the Hyrda Mount, it also lessens the weight on the handguard.

Is this any useful for airsoft? Apart from those who wear NVGs for airsoft night games, this also a helpful mount for those who wear full face airsoft masks which make aiming harder.

The GBRS Hydra Mount Kit is now available to order but the price of US$549.00 is found to be steep by potential buyers for a mount that is made 6061 - T6  Aluminum. For real world users, it’s a price that can be worth paying whilst for airsoft, it’s already like buying a high-end airsoft gun.

More details below:

HYDRA is the first dual optic mount designed for end-users that offers a 2.91”  Optic Centerline for faster target ID, regardless of gear/ equipment obstructions, ie. EarPro/Comms headsets, Gas masks/ CBRN, and Night vision use. A higher Optic allows for a more athletic posture and “Heads up” attitude that allows the end-users to maintain a vertical spine which translates to body armor or “presenting plates” to the threat. This “Heads up” style allows for faster processing speed and increased situational awareness.

The unique and patented design offers an elevated MIL-STD-1913, or Picatinny, platform for direct attachment of accessories such as lights, optics and aiming devices. It’s perfect for the super short PDW/SMG platforms where rail space is limited but the need of mounting a light and laser is still critical. The pass-through on the neck allows for cable management or iron sight passthrough.

There is no longer a need to compromise your grip because of equipment or have to relocate your hands because of limited rail space. We achieve this by elevating accessories like the light or laser off the Picatinny and closer to the red dot optic. This alleviates obscuration and brings the weight to the center of the platform over the magazine well.

Although specifically designed for the Aimpoint Micro Red Dot Sight T1 and T2 models, the mount is also compatible with other optic brands (i.e. Sig Sauer®, Holosun®, Primary Arms®, and Vortex Optics®) that have the same 4-Hole footprint as the Aimpoint T1/T2/Comp M5.

The HYDRA is constructed from 6061 - T6  Aluminum, weighs 5.7oz and comes Cerakoted Black or FDE*.
