Frequently Asked Questions
Will the AD-RECON 34mm mount work with my specific AR-15 rail?
Yes. The AD-RECON is designed for flat-top AR-15 platforms with standard Picatinny rails. Its Patented QD Auto Lock Lever system is engineered to accommodate both in-spec and out-of-spec rail systems, so minor dimensional variations common across manufacturers are not a problem. If your rifle has a standard flat-top upper, this mount will fit securely.
Does the 2-inch cantilever offset provide enough eye relief for most scopes?
For the vast majority of rifle scopes used on AR-15s, the 2-inch cantilever offset positions the optic far enough forward to achieve proper eye relief — typically between 3 and 4 inches for most variable-power scopes. This is especially important on the AR-15 platform where the flat-top receiver can otherwise place a scope too far rearward. We recommend confirming your specific scope's eye relief specification before mounting.
Can I remove and remount the AD-RECON without losing my zero?
Absolutely. American Defense Mfg. built the AD-RECON around their Patented QD Auto Lock Lever system, which is specifically designed for repeatable return-to-zero performance. This makes it an excellent choice for shooters who need to frequently remove their optic for transport, storage, or transition to iron sights, without the hassle of re-zeroing each time.
