Overview

Built for mounting optics on a flattop-style AR-15, this cantilever scope mount positions the optic forward to help achieve proper eye relief. It uses ADM’s patented QD Auto Lock System for quick attachment and removal, with compatibility intended for both in-spec and out-of-spec rail systems. The mount is machined from 6061 T6 aluminum and finished in hard coat T3 Mil-Spec anodize in matte black. Its 20 MOA cant and 35mm ring size make it a practical choice for shooters setting up a dedicated rifle optic system.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed for a flattop-style AR-15, so it may not be the right fit for other rifle platforms or mounting setups.
  • The 2" cantilever and 20 MOA cant are purpose-built for a specific optic position and zeroing approach, which may be more than some users need.
  • Sized for 35mm scope tubes, so compatibility is limited to optics with that tube diameter.
  • At this price point, the quick-detach system and mount features are the main value; it is a specialized accessory rather than a universal mount.
