The Daniel Defense 1 Oclock Offset Rail is optimized for mounting miniature red dot optics in the 1 Oclock (right-hand) or 11 Oclock (left-hand) positions for quick non-magnified transitions when employing magnified primary optics on AR-type rifles with MIL-STD-1913 rails. The geometry allows for zero cheek-weld shift during the transition. This facilitates very fast transitions from magnified to non-magnified optics and back. The 1 Oclock Offset Rail can also be used to mount a variety of lights or other accessories that mount to a MIL-STD-1913 rail. By flipping the part upside-down one can mount a light in a good position for use with a vertical foregrip.
