New Aimpoint Mount From Spuhr (RD-20153)
Spuhr of Sweden has released a new Picatinny mount, suitable for the Aimpoint Micro and CompM5 series of red dots. It’s called RD-20153, and on an AR-15/M4 style platform the mount offers absolute co-witness, with a height of 39 mm/1.535”. The mount is machined from billet 7075 T651 aluminum, which has then been hard coat anodized. The mount is pretty lightweight at 72g/2.5 oz. From the images, it seems to be a very sturdy mount - the optic and the mount look like one integral part.

Here’s what Spuhr had to say about their new RD-20153 mount in the datasheet:
“RD-20153
Aimpoint T-2 Mount H39mm/1.53" PIC
Mount for Aimpoint Micro Series and CompM5, Absolute Co-witness
Height: 39 mm/1.535”
Length: 58 mm/2.283”
Weight: 72 g/2.5 oz
EAN: 7340150702328
The RD-20153 is a 39 mm/1.535" high fixed mount for the Aimpoint Micro and CompM5 series (the height is measured from the top of the rail to the centerline of the optics on an Aimpoint Micro T-2).
Based on the form factor of the RDF-series of magnifier-ready Micro mounts, the RD-20153 offers a lightweight mounting solution with increased rail engagement surface.
The RD-20153 was designed for an absolute co-witness on an AR-15/M4 style platform. The mounts are machined from billet 7075 T651 aluminum and all aluminum parts are hardcoat anodized.
NOTE:
The RD-20153 is designed for use with red dot sights featuring the Aimpoint Micro footprint on rifles with MIL-STD-1913 or STANAG 4694 rails.
The mount attaches to the rail using three 10.9 Grade M5x25 Torx 20 Zinc-Nickel treated fasteners. Included with the mount are five Torx 10 screws with TufLok for attaching the sight to the mount.”

Just an FYI - the optic as pictured has an A-0056 plate installed. This converts the ACRO footprint to the T2 footprint.
This mount is for T2 footprint optics.
What handguard is that?
