iRayUSA RICO MICRO PICTAIL 2 Helmet/Weapon Shoe AC59

The iRayUSA RICO MICRO PICTAIL 2 Helmet/Weapon Shoe AC59 is designed to work specifically with the iRayUSA RICO MICRO series thermal optics. Its dual-purpose design fits standard Wilcox® G24 helmet mounts for hands-free helmet use, and AR-15/MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails for weapon mounting. Please confirm your helmet uses a Wilcox G24-style mount or your firearm uses a Picatinny rail to ensure compatibility.

Installation is quick and straightforward.

No extra tools are needed beyond what you use for standard Picatinny rail accessories, and all hardware necessary for secure mounting is included in the package.
