Can anyone ID this AR throw lever scope mount?
« on: December 04, 2013, 10:36:17 PM »
I've been trying to ID the manufacturer from just this photo. It's not a Larue or a Knights. I would like to put one on the Grendel.

hmmm looks like a LaRue..but like you said, it's not.

it does look cool, but from a reliability standpoint and being able to hold zero on a working weapon, I would not trust it for a second...reminds me of a diving board...boing boing...one good smack, and you lost your zero.


looks more tacti-cool than usefull.


Get a solid one piece mount that bridges the upper and the forward rail.

Looks cool, but like a previous poster said, it's too fragile.  I use Rock River one piece mounts on my AR builds. Being somewhat short of stature, a standard mount works for me.  They also make a Cantilever mount in 1" or 30mm.  My scopes got banged against rocks several times, and never lost zero.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

I don't think it's UTG, I looked. I can't see I custom builder assembling a AR like that and frosting it with crap.

it depends on what the "market" wants for frosting.

"Tacti-cool" sells better than "usefull"!!!

True--and the sad thing is, sometimes the "junk" costs more than the good stuff!

Cann we get a better picture? Looks like light reflection maybe?

http://www.midwayusa.com/product/961987/american-defense-recon-x-quick-release-extra-extended-scope-mount-picatinny-style-with-34mm-rings-ar-15-flat-top-matte

No, it doesn't have the silver center pin/ hole? on the bottom of the ring. Hmmmmmmm.
