Universal Pistol & Suppressor Mount

Slick Setup

These PMAG mounts are a perfect setup. Easy and quick install. The mags slide in and out without catching. Mount on a wall, in a safe, on a nightstand. Endless options.

Customizable and Functional

It started with a single AR15 Mount and has evolved into an obsession. These are durable and super easy to install. They look great and offer a perfect way to enjoy your hardwork and allow you to be ready at a moments notice. Going strong with 3 AR15 mounts, 4 PMAG AR15 mounts and a few upper receiver mounts. Looking forward to more!

AR 15 Mount

Good product

I wanted a way to store my shotgun safely with easy access if ever needed in a hurry. I found Spartan on the inter web and did some research. I purchased the vertical mount and mounted it in my closet near the door. Easy install and it looks great. If I had more space, I’d mount all my guns on Spartan Mounts. Also I like supporting US small business.

IWI TAVOR TS-12 Mount

I'm a believer

I was a little skeptical at first but once I got it, and mounted it, it works great. I have mine in a vertical position. As I held it in my hand in a horizontal fashion it seemed a little unbalanced but I'm sure once secured to the wall it would be fine. Fit is perfect. Price is right.

Mossberg 930 Mount

Fantastic!

Extremely happy! I've been looking for something like this for several months and took a chance on these. Excellent quality, really fast shipping. Honestly, I was kind of expecting them to arrive loose in the box for the price, but everything was individually sealed with all parts and mounting hardware in the individual bags. I could not be happier!

AR 15 Upper Mount (Pin Lock)

Sig MPX Mount

Super happy with the product. I have the taran tactical flared magwell, it didn’t fit the normal mount. I emailed the guy and he sent me a new one that was longer free of charge. Super fast & effective customer service. I wish I had more guns so I could buy more mounts.

SIG MPX Mount

Love Spartan mounts

I have a room full of Spartan mounts for all of my guns. Love every one of them. They look good and they are made well.

SIG P226/P2022 Mount

Perfectly conceals my Mossberg Shockwave.

I've been looking for a way to conceal my Shockwave for home defense. This was it! It hangs easily out of sight behind the curtain in bedroom. I can have it out and ready in 2 seconds.

Mossberg 88/500/590 Mount

M&P 15-22 Vertical Mount

Wall Mount for the 15-22 is fine for the closet, it does stick out more, but works
