The American Defense Recon-H is a one-piece quick-release scope mount built for AR-15 flat-top Picatinny rails. If you run a modern tactical rifle, patrol carbine, or competition AR and need a fast, reliable way to mount and unmount your optic without losing zero, this cantilever mount delivers the precision and durability you expect from American Defense Manufacturing. The integrated base and rings design eliminates the wobble and shifting that can plague multi-part setups, and the extra-high positioning pushes your scope forward by 2 inches—a real advantage when you're running longer eye relief optics or need clearance over a charging handle and dust cover.
Built from 6061 T6 aluminum and finished in hard-coat T3 Mil-Spec anodize, the Recon-H is tough enough for duty use, hunting, and repeated field deployment. The heart of this mount is ADM's patented QD Auto Lock lever system. That dual-lever design is engineered to work reliably with both in-spec and out-of-spec Picatinny rails—a practical feature if you've collected ARs over the years and know that rail tolerances aren't always consistent. Engagement is solid, detachment is smooth, and the whole setup goes together without requiring a gunsmith or a vise.
Whether you're building a precision rifle, upgrading your home-defense carbine, or maintaining inventory across multiple platforms, the Recon-H offers the speed and repeatability of a quality quick-release system backed by the engineering reputation American Defense has earned in the optics industry.
| Mount Type | One-piece integral base and rings |
| Rail System | Picatinny-style (AR-15 flat-top) |
| Cantilever Forward Distance | 2 inches |
| Material | 6061 T6 aluminum |
| Finish | Hard-coat T3 Mil-Spec anodize (matte) |
| Quick-Release System | Patented QD Auto Lock lever (dual-lever) |
| Rail Compatibility | In-spec and out-of-spec Picatinny rails |
The Recon-H is designed for any AR-15 platform with a Picatinny rail on a flat-top receiver. The patented lever system is engineered to work with both properly toleranced and slightly loose or tight rails, so compatibility is broad across modern AR builds.
The one-piece integral design and dual-lever QD system are engineered for a solid, repeatable mount. When you detach and reattach your optic, the Auto Lock mechanism is designed to return to zero-holding position—though as with any quick-release mount, we recommend confirming zero after mounting.
The Recon-H features integrated rings, so you'll need an optic compatible with the ring diameter and height. The cantilever design and forward positioning benefit longer-eye-relief optics and higher-magnification scopes that benefit from extra clearance, but we recommend verifying your specific optic's fit before purchase.
You receive the one-piece Recon-H mount with integrated base and rings. No separate components or additional parts are listed as included; installation requires only standard mounting to your AR's Picatinny rail.
