What we do
Our idea is to produce very innovative solutions with a
minimum of parts. We never copy anyone else as there is
always the need of improvement. The scope mounts we
manufacture is a typical example, scope mounts have been
made almost the same way by loads of manufacturers for
over 100 years, and there is very little difference between
various manufacturers technical design. That is, until ours
came on the market in 2010… We have taken the scope
mount from being a holder of the scope to a system for
mounting the scope as well as accessories such as back-up
sights, lasers and cosine meters. At the same time we made
our scope mount sturdier than any competitor, invented a
new system for aligning the scope’s rotation and constructed
it so that the knobs are more visible than on probably any
2
other mount. This means that you can check your knobs
almost without moving your head. Convenient on the range
for sure, but a life-saver if you are a deployed sniper who is
checking your values when in hide.
Another good example is 40 mm grenade launcher mounts,
that very often have the readings from the wrong direction so
the soldier only could read the distance settings with the gun
dismounted. We have made a mount where the soldier can
see and adjust the sight from the shooting position with the
gun mounted. After glowing paint or Tritium inserts make
sure that it can be done in low-light conditions as well. Our
humble experience tells us that combat environments have a
tendency not to be optimally lit. Our many customers at the
tip of the spear around the world tells us that we are right.
Materials
The use of the very best material and coatings gives the
products a very long life and that little extra that is needed
for the serviceman and his equipment to perform under the
worst conditions. All products marked Spuhr are intended
for difficult missions and severe circumstances.
History
The company started a few years ago when Håkan worked
as a gunsmith and made some solutions for Aimpoint. The
Aimpoint Twist mount and the MPS mount are the results
from that collaboration. Rumors spread about the gunsmith
with the extraordinary solutions, and soon some military
units needed help, and that is the background of the company. Today we work with a number of armed forces around
the world as well as manufacturers. Some products are the
results that came from the military’s need for new solutions,
while other products like the scopemount is the result from
our own shooting and hunting experience.
Our products are not like, say, a toaster. A malfunction in
these environments leaves you with far worse problems than
a bad sandwich. This is life and death applications. Quality
and function is paramount.
As much as possible is manufactured locally in Sweden.
This gives us maximum control over the production to
achieve the highest precision and quality.

LIGHTWEIGHT FLEXIBLE NVG MOUNT
Patent pending
NV Monoculars can within seconds be mounted or dismounted, all
depending on the users needs. The user can choose to use one or two
monoculars, and change instantly when he needs it. Monocular can
very quickly be moved from head to gun.
This innovative product allows the user to change from one
to two monoculars, and back again, as the need arises. The
mount is very stable and quiet, with no rattling or shaking
parts. The mount is very flexible with multiple adjustments
and settings, and can be adjusted for tilt, eye width and/or
eye-relief within seconds.
For the user who likes to use his right-eye monocular
mounted on his firearm, the monocular can be securely moved
from the head to the gun or back again within seconds.
The Headmount/Helmet Mount has a quick interface
with adjustment memory, giving the user the possibility
to quickly transfer the whole system with goggles from his
helmet to his head (or back) if the situation warrants it.
Some operators prefer to parachute without goggles
mounted, opting to mount them only after releasing the
parachute, as to prevent the goggles from getting tangled in the
risers of the parachute. With the Light-weight Flexible NVG
Mount the operator can keep a clean helmet during descent
and within seconds of releasing the parachute have the goggles
securely mounted without any need to readjust any settings!
Headmount on the market, providing the highest comfort for the greatest variety of head shapes possible. The
Headmount stays in place without any strain or excessive
pressure, preventing the commonly experienced headaches
and neck pains associated with extended wearing of headmounted NVG’s.
Goggle fit
The Light-weight Flexible NVG Mount is ideally used with
Insight/NiViSys MUM-14 as their NVG´s are the lightest
on the market to date, but other monoculars such as the
ITT PVS-14 can easily be mounted as well.

ISMS – IDEAL SCOPE MOUNT SYSTEM
SNIPER/MARKSMAN/INFANTRYMAN SIGHT MOUNT Patent pending
Extremely sturdy scopemount, with possibility to attach multiple optical accessories directly
to the mount. Built-in level. 45 degree split of the rings gives better view of the knobs.
Durability
Prevents damage on scope due to flexing during heavy recoil or
rough environment. The snipers rifle and the spotters carbine can
have the same mount, enabling the use of same equipment and
accessories. Rings are grooved inside to get a better grip of the scope
and enabling gluing of the scope. The mount is milled out of one
billet of material instead of being screwed together of small parts.
Scope rotation
Patent pending solution for indexing the rotation of the scope, using
an included tool/gauge to index the scope correctly to the mount
and gun. Important since a incorrectly indexed scope unintentionally will also have a sideways adjusted point of impact and since it
will be adjusted sideways when it is adjusted for elevation.
Mounting placements
Traditionally lasers have been mounted on the forend of the rifle,
a solution with drawbacks. For the same reasons you don’t want
your barrel to touch the forend you don´t want the sights to be
mounted on the forend. Our mounting system have minimum
seven interfaces for accessories and the laser can easily be mounted on the mount, given the advantage of undisturbed laser and
the weight more central on the gun instead of forward.
Tilt
Mounts can be delivered in various tilts. The tilt is clearly engraved on the mount, in both MIL and MOA.
Accessible and readable dials
The rings are cut 45 degrees instead of horizontal as usual, providing several advantages. The screws holding the parts together are not
in the way of the knobs, thus the shooter can quickly determine the
settings of the knobs. It also gives the shooter a horizontal line that
not directly are seen but is existing and helping the shooter not to
8
rotate his gun unintentionally. The rings have index marks on the
top and right side, making low knobs more easily readable
Accessories
Possibility of using various accessories such as angle cosine indicator,
back up sights, lasers, illuminators, Night vision mounts etc. With traditional mounts this can be achieved only if there is sufficient space on
the middle tube for additional rings, which there rarely is. Ideal Scope
Mount System have interface surfaces directly on the mount, making it
possible to mount accessories either by Picatinny rails or as direct interfaces for certain accessories as angle cosine indicators and red dot sights.
A selection of interfaces for popular accessories are available, and others
can be made to specification.
Level
The sight mount have a level included inside the mount.

G36 UPGRADE PARTS
Here is a breif description of the various upgrade items for H&K G36 that we are going to
put into production. Please keep in mind that all the shown parts here are prototypes, and
some changes can and will take place.
Magwell for M4-M16 mags.
Top Rail for G36
This is an ambidextrous magwell for the G36 that converts
the G36 to accept readily available M4/M16 magazines. Easy
installment by just removing the original magcatch parts and
drop in the magwell into the gun.
The toprail is manufactured of 7075 aluminium (as well as all
our aluminium parts), is very strong but the weight is only 200
grams. Its very low, to take down the high line of sight of the
G36. Its fitted with emergency sights, that are fully adjustable
with tools. The sights will be fitted with tritium as well.
We also manufacture a new bolt stop that is needed to replace
the original boltstop if the boltstop function should work.
Spare battery compartment
in the magwell. The battery is
not needed for the operation
of the magwell, it’s just a
spare for the sight.
Front of rail fitted with Spuhr interface, where
several various assesories can be mounted.
The rear part of the rail is lowered to accommodate a low
mounting of the NV equipment. For those who prefers a full
long rail with no lowering, there is a picatinny spacer piece
included (shown in the third picture). Please observe that the
picatinny rail is heavily dehorned to avoid upstanding chips
and problems after heavy use. Also a way of saving the hands
and fingers of the users.
Accessories, as an Oerlikon LLM laser can be mounted on the
top rail, instead of the forend. That is an easy way of keeping it’s zero, as it’s impossible to have the forend to not move
around. For that mount, we have used the Spuhr interface
described on page 14.
Rear sight up, folded and folded with picatinny
spacer in place.
NV equipment on the lowered part of the rail.

SPUHR INTERFACE
ONGOING AND FUTURE PROJECTS
A chain is never stronger than its weakest link. Spuhr Interface is a lightweight solution that enables the user to mount accessories with perfect fit
and absolutely rattle-free.
We currently work on some new products as well as additions and
developments on existing projects.
Instead of filling the various items with meters/yards of
picatinny rail which both takes lot of space and add lots of
undesired weight and less comfortable feel, we decided to
make a small interface that has no weight – In fact, it has a
negative weight as it’s removed material.
We work on a number of projects at the same time. Some
are soon to be produced and others are closer to dreams.
Here are a few.
The Interface consists of two threaded holes with a dual conical parts that will hold the items very well and in the same
position. For this interface we manufacture a broad range of
accessories that fits perfectly and absolutely playfree. Various
picatinny parts, direct mounts for various sights as Aimpoint
14
Micro, Trijicon RMR, Docter and other special items. The
direct mount has the advantage of stronger sturdier mount
than using a picatinny in between, lower/tighter mounting
and most importantly lower weight.
•
We have decided to not protect this interface, and instead
help those manufacturers who want to use it. So if you as a
manufacturer have any wish to use the interface please contact us, and we will supply you with drawings, files and also
tooling if needed.

•
•
We will make a separate ring version of the
scope mount.
G36 will get a new ambidextrous magwell for
M16 mags
A simple railsystem for MAG 58 machine guns
Loads of new accessories for our scopemounts
•
•
A lightweight breaching gun are on the drawingboard as well
A line of extremely simple and playfree
back-up sigths.
Flexibility of design
We are extremely flexible and will tailor any product to
match the customers’ requirements and ideas. If you have
a special project or an adaption of an existing product in
mind, do not hesitate to contact us.

We use primarily 7075 T651 aluminum in
our products. It has some disadvantages:
It is expensive and tricky to do surface
treatments on among others. But after
it is done and the mount or sight is on
your gun or helmet there is nothing but
advantages. It is lighter than titanium
and steel, and in our cases better suited
for the applications. It is stronger and
has far better fatigue strength than 6061
aluminum that most of our competitors
use. The Tensile strength of the 7075

T651 is about 80% higher than 6061 T6.
Compared to normal or lower grades of
steel it’s comparable. In fact the 7075 T651
is so good that we stopped using Helicoil
thread inserts as the threads itself is more
than sufficiently strong.
In short: It is the best possible material
for our products as it is the best possible
material if you are looking for advantages.
