Aridus Industries is working to bring the CROM (Co-Witness Ready Optics Mount) to a levergun near you. They recently shared images of the prototype mounts for Marlin 336/1894 rifles.
The CROM features an integral ghost ring rear sight and an optic specific mounting point (Aimpoint Micro and Trijicon RMR models shown). The design allows the optic to co-witness with the iron sights.
Stay tuned for information on pricing and availability.
Prototypes shown
The Aridus Industries Zhukov Handguard Adapters will be available soon! These adapters allow the Magpul Zhukov Handguard to be fitted to the Beretta 1301 shotgun, giving the user access to M-LOK slots for accessory mounting. The adapters are currently in anodizing and should be available in the next few days.
Aridus Industries recently released a video that shows a potential configuration for the handguards. The video also relays important details about the gas/heat shield, gas venting, and accessory mounting considerations.
The Q-DC, or Quick-Detach Carrier, from Aridus Industries already offers somewhat magazine-like feeding functionality with its ability to quickly swap shell carriers to the side-plate of your shotgun. So, why not offer a magazine-like way to carrier them?
Aridus Industries and Dark Star Gear are collaborating on a new kydex carrier for the Q-DC. The prototypes are being tested (shown above). They appear to be MOLLE compatible and offer retention via a ranger band. These will be available directly from Aridus Industries once they are in full production.
Stay tuned for details.
Aridus Industries is now offering a modified version of their CROM optic/sight mount for Beretta 1301 and Remington 870 shotguns. The modification is inspired by defensive shotgun guru Rob Haught’s preferred ghost ring set up. The ghost ring is cut in half so that only a “U” remains. Aridus Industries states that this sight up allows for faster sighting and less obstruction of the sight picture through a mounted red dot sight.
The sights are milled to shape, deburred, and then parkerized. They are available as an option on new CROMs or for purchase separately to retrofit your existing CROM.
Aridus Industries has already developed an adapter that allows Beretta 1301 owners to mount Magpul’s Mossberg SGA stock on their 1301. Now they are working with prototype adapters that will bring the Magpul Zhukov Handguards to the 1301. The Zhukov handguard could be a great match for the 1301 due to their length and variety of MLOK mounting options.
The image below also shows a prototype version of their CROM mount for the Trijicon RMR. The CROM mount is already available for Aimpoint Micros. It is a direct mount that provides both a mounting surface for the optic and a ghost ring back up sight.
