Precision CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminium and finished with a Type III hard coat Mil-Spec anodised finish, the AD-RECON is built for repeatable mounting, durability and field use. ADM’s patented QD Auto Lock™ Lever system allows fast attachment and removal without special tools, while still accommodating both in-spec and out-of-spec rail systems.
