Overview
Built for mounting optics on a flattop-style AR-15, this quick-detach scope mount positions the optic forward with a cantilever design to help achieve proper eye relief. It uses ADM’s patented QD Auto Lock System, intended to work with both in-spec and out-of-spec rail systems, which makes it a practical choice for shooters who may need to remove and reinstall optics. The mount is machined from 6061 T6 aluminum and finished in hard coat T3 Mil-Spec anodize in matte black. With 0 MOA and 2 inches of cantilever, it suits hunters and range users looking for a secure, repeatable mounting solution without extra bulk.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for a flattop-style AR-15, so it is not a universal mount for every rifle setup.
- The 2" cantilever and 0 MOA configuration are purpose-specific choices; they suit certain optics setups but do not add elevation adjustment.
- It is built for 1" scope tubes, which limits compatibility to that ring size.
- At $240.90, it sits in a premium price range for a mount, so the value depends on whether the quick-detach system and fit features match your needs.
