NI contribution to the JPL Mars Rover
When the company contacted me and included photos of their scope mount and gas block I was honestly taken aback by the obvious quality of these products. The scope mounts come in one inch and 30mm ring size and include a side mount for an RMR type optic or standard BUIS. The mounts are also available in one or two piece designs. The company recommends the one piece to achieve the best accuracy.
One piece rail
The NI gas block is made from Titanium and is adjustable. I never thought I’d call a gas block beautiful but the lines and work really are impressive. The gas block can be purchased raw or Cerakoted in black. .750 and soon .625 sizes are available. MSRP is $119 in the raw and $129 Cerakoted.
TFB has requested both products and will be reviewing them shortly.

They do turn a purple hue after getting very hot.
Dead nuts parallel…
All of the alignment surfaces are cut in one pass, on one set up. We do this to ensure that all these control surfaces are parallel to within 0.0001″. Even though this is more expensive than machining these features separately we felt it would help keep things lined up. After extensive testing we can tell you that it does indeed. Return to zero is phenomenal, & no lapping is required. We use our Sodick & Makino Wire EDM’s to cut three surfaces on the scope mounts; the base where it attaches to the picatinny rail of the upper receiver, the inside of the rings, and the profile of the 30° offset rail.
