The American Defense AD-DELTA-C is a lightweight quick-detach cantilever scope mount for AR-pattern rifles — this version in 30mm rings at medium height. The cantilever offset sets correct eye relief for variable-power optics on Picatinny rails, and ADM's patented Auto Lock QD lever system gives fast install/removal with a secure lockup and repeatable return-to-zero.
Machined from 6061-T6 aluminium with a hardcoat anodised finish, the Delta line trims weight while keeping a rigid platform, and is made in the USA.
Option: 30mm Medium Height — also available in 30mm Standard, 34mm Medium and 34mm High.

Frequently Asked Questions
DELTA-C or RECON?
The Delta line is lighter and lower-profile; the RECON is the standard-duty mount. Both use the Auto Lock QD system.
Standard or medium height?
Medium raises the optic slightly for larger objectives or a more upright head position.
Does it return to zero?
Yes — the Auto Lock QD levers give repeatable return-to-zero on reinstall.
