Aero Precision 30Mm 1.5'' 0 Moa Extended Cantilever Mount Fde

The Aero Precision 30mm 1.5" 0 MOA Extended Cantilever Mount in FDE is a lightweight scope mount purpose-built for AR-platform rifles and demanding shooters who refuse to compromise on durability or weight. This extended cantilever design pushes your optic forward 1 inch, giving you better eye relief and more comfortable shooting geometry—especially important if you're running a magnified scope or pairing it with backup iron sights. Built from 6061 T6 extruded aluminum, it's engineered to handle the recoil and vibration of real shooting without flexing or losing zero.

If you're serious about precision on the range or in the field, mounting surface matters. This cantilever mount seats directly onto Mil-Spec 1913 Picatinny rails with a cross-slot keyway design that locks your scope down tight and resists shift under recoil. At just 3.07 ounces, it's one of the genuinely lightweight options in the market—the kind of weight savings that matter when every ounce counts on a long day in the field or a multi-day hunt. The rigid aluminum construction and proven Aero Precision engineering mean you're buying a mount that will outlast the rifle it's bolted to.

The FDE (Flat Dark Earth) finish blends naturally with modern furniture and accessories, and the 0 MOA configuration keeps your scope properly aligned with your barrel without introducing cant. Whether you're building a precision long-range rifle, a duty-ready AR, or a hunting setup, this extended cantilever mount delivers the kind of no-compromise performance that experienced shooters have come to expect from Aero Precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this mount work on my AR-15 upper receiver?

Yes. This mount is designed for AR-type upper receivers with standard Mil-Spec 1913 Picatinny rails and cross-slot keyway, which is the configuration on virtually all modern AR-15 and AR-10 uppers.

What size optics can I mount in this cantilever mount?

This is a 30mm ring mount, so it's compatible with optics that feature 30mm tubes—a common size for modern rifle scopes, including magnified and low-power variable designs.

Why is the rear ring positioned 1 inch forward?

The forward placement improves eye relief, meaning you can mount the scope closer to your face for a more natural sight picture, and it allows clearance for backup iron sights mounted behind the scope mount on your rail.

How much does this mount weigh?

At 3.07 ounces, it's one of the lighter extended cantilever mounts available, making it ideal for hunters and shooters who are building weight-conscious rigs without sacrificing rigidity or reliability.
