American Defense AD-RECON Tactical 34mm Scope Mount - Black

The American Defense AD-RECON Tactical 34mm scope mount is built for AR-15 shooters who demand a rugged, adjustable mounting solution that actually works with real-world rifles. This 34mm cantilever mount places your optic forward on a flat-top receiver with a 2-inch offset, giving you the breathing room to dial in proper eye relief—especially critical when you're running a high-magnification hunting or tactical scope. Unlike one-size-fits-all mounts, the AD-RECON handles objective housings up to 56mm without compromise, so you've got flexibility across a wide range of quality glass.

Built from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in hard-coat Mil-Spec Type III anodize, this mount punches well above its weight class in durability. The machining is precise, and the engineering is thoughtful: the whole system can be adjusted and maintained with just your fingers or a flat-blade screwdriver—no proprietary tools, no guessing, no frustration. That's the kind of practical design that keeps you shooting instead of fussing with gear.

What really sets the AD-RECON apart is the patented QD Auto Lock Lever system. It locks onto both in-spec and out-of-spec Picatinny rails with the same reliable authority, which means you aren't left stranded if your receiver has any manufacturing variance—and in the real world, some do. Your scope stays put through recoil and hard use, and when you need to remove it, the quick-detach lever works exactly as promised.

Frequently Asked Questions

What AR-15 platforms does the AD-RECON mount work with?

The AD-RECON is designed for flat-top (Picatinny rail) AR-15 platforms. The patented QD Auto Lock Lever system works with both in-spec and out-of-spec rails, so it adapts to real-world rifle variations without losing security.

Can this mount accommodate larger objective lenses?

Yes. The AD-RECON handles objective housings up to 56mm in diameter, which covers most high-quality hunting and tactical scopes in the mid-to-high magnification range.

Do I need special tools to adjust or maintain this mount?

No. The AD-RECON can be adjusted and serviced with just your fingers or a standard flat-blade screwdriver. There are no proprietary tools or complicated procedures required.

What does the 2-inch cantilever offset do?

The 2-inch forward offset moves your scope away from the receiver and charging handle, giving you more room to find proper eye relief—especially important with higher-magnification optics on AR-15s where receiver-mounted mounts can feel cramped.
