American Defense Manufacturing 1'' 0 Moa Scope Mount Black
The American Defense Manufacturing 1" 0 MOA scope mount is a quick-release lever-lock system built for shooters who demand rock-solid optics mounting without the hassle of tools every time you want to swap or remove a scope. This one-piece base with dual-lever design clamps securely to any flattop Picatinny or Weaver-style rail—including commercial rails that run slightly over or undersized—and stays put under serious recoil. The lever mechanism actually tightens the harder force pushes against it, a mechanical advantage that keeps your zero intact through hard shooting sessions.
Setup and adjustment are field-friendly: a flat-head screwdriver or even a coin lets you dial in a no-slip fit on your rail without breaking out the toolkit. If you prefer the lever positioned toward the front or rear of the mount, you can configure it either way to match your shooting style and bolt throw. The large locking bar on the mount's side engages maximum rail surface area, while the crossbolt and dual integral locking lugs prevent any creep or shift. Five heavy-duty steel hex screws—three on top, two on bottom—clamp split ring halves together for vertical rigidity.
Weight savings come from smart engineering: cutouts in the ring sides and base trim pounds without compromising strength or reliability. Quick removal is a matter of depressing the release tab and lifting the mount clear—ideal if you rotate between rifles or need to stow your optic fast. This mount works with standard 1-inch scope tubes and carries a 0 MOA offset, meaning it doesn't introduce any height compensation on its own. Whether you're setting up a precision rifle, an AR hunting rig, or a dedicated range gun, ADM's lever-lock design has earned a reputation for never moving when it matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this mount work on my AR-15 or other Picatinny rail?
Yes. The American Defense Manufacturing 1" scope mount clamps to any flattop Picatinny or Weaver-style rail, including commercial rails that run slightly oversized or undersized. It's designed to be compatible across a wide range of modern sporting rifles and precision rifles with rail-mounted receivers.
Can I adjust the fit without tools?
You can fine-tune the mount with a flat-head screwdriver or even a coin. This field-adjustability lets you dial in a secure, no-slip fit on your rail without needing a full toolkit at the range or in the field.
How do I remove the scope if I need to swap it to another rifle?
Depress the release tab on the lever, then lift the entire mount assembly off the rail. The quick-release design makes it fast to remove and reattach, so you can rotate optics between firearms or stow your scope quickly.
Which way should I orient the lever?
You can configure the lever to lock toward the front or rear of the mount, depending on your shooting style and bolt throw. Choose whichever orientation works best for your rifle and how you operate it.
