The Recoil Absorbing Mount RAM or so-called “Recoil Rail” is designed to provide electro-optic & illumination devices with protection from the firing shock of hard recoiling weapons, such as the M2 50 and large caliber sniper platforms.
Under firing conditions, electro-optics can be damaged in a number of ways. Recoil forces can cause the body of a day scope to flex, resulting in shifting of optical lenses and reticles. In Thermal Imaging, Night Vision, lasers and white light devices, the precision circuitry of electro-optical components can be damage by the shock of firing forces.
The Recoil Rail uses patented buffer system to absorb approximately 30% of the peak recoil forces that would otherwise be transferred to the mounted electro-optic or illumination device.
When the weapon is fired, the top rail slides on the rail body; this allows the buffer mechanism to reduce firing shock transfer to the electro-optic. The buffer mechanism returns the electro-optic to its original position after firing.
The Recoil Rail is designed to provide coverage to a range of optic weights; there are stiffer buffers for heavy electro-optics and buffers with less resistance for lighter devices.
