MidWest Industries QD mount ring question

[tactic-als]

I use MidWest Industries 34mm QD scope mounts for my AR’s with LPVO’s. My current need is to have a upper replacement ring that incorporates a section of picatinny to mount a LRF such as the Vortex Impact 4000. Often called “diving board” and it doesn’t need to be tall enough to clear a 56mm objective….just long enough to engage the mounting portion on the Vortex. I don’t see that MidWest makes anything like this but if they do, please reply (FYI, I have reached out to MidWest and am awaiting their reply). AND also please reply if you know the mounting pattern (screws) matches another manufacturer that does make this diving board ring. I hope that makes sense….basically what I’m asking is if any brand/manufacturer Diving Board 34mm ring section could be used on my MidWest Industries 34mm scope mount….OR whoever, I don’t care the manufacturer just that it would work on my scope mount.

Thank you.

I’m looking to do the same thing. Wondering if you found a combination that worked or if Midwest replied.
Thanks

Wanted to let you know I’ve had the same question for my 30mm MI QD mount. I contacted MI to see if they would start making a diving board and they replied that they have no plans to at this time. Then I got the idea to just buy a diving board and drill out the holes myself. I discovered that the Vortex 30mm diving board is an EXACT HOLE MATCH. I just used the MI screws and boom. My MI QD 30mm mount now has a perfectly fitting Vortex diving board off the front ring. Hope this helps others!!

See above, Vortex is exact fit for 30mm!
