Primary Arms AR-15 Basic Scope Mount — 30mm / 1″

🛠️ Overview — Simple, Solid Mounting

The Primary Arms AR15 Basic Scope Mount (PABASICSM) gives you a no-nonsense mounting solution for 30mm tube optics on M4/AR-15 flat-top rifles. Constructed from hardcoat-anodized aluminum, it keeps weight low while delivering reliable clamping force to your Picatinny rail. Because it includes metal 1-inch adapter shims, you can also run 1″ scopes without additional rings. Therefore, it fits a broad range of budget optics and classic scopes alike.

⚙️ AR15 Basic Scope Mount – Design & Durability

This single-piece mount uses a solid cross-bolt and nut clamp that secures over a wide rail footprint, and the hardcoat anodized finish resists corrosion and wear. In addition, the mount follows simple torque guidance — tighten until resistance, then finish with a half-turn, or use 35–40 in-lbs as a safe torque spec for ring screws. Consequently, you avoid over-torquing while still holding zero under recoil. Because Primary Arms backs this mount with a lifetime warranty, you get long-term value with a minimal upfront cost.

📏 Compatibility & Use Cases

The mount suits hunting builds, range rigs, and training guns where lightweight, low-profile mounting matters. Moreover, it works well on .22LR host rifles and many AR platforms, although users seeking extreme repeatability on heavy recoiling systems may prefer two-point mounting solutions. In addition, the low profile keeps your optic close to the bore axis so eye relief stays predictable when co-mounted with backup irons or offsets.

🔥 Why it matters

For practical shooters and budget builders, the PABASICSM removes friction from building a workable optic package. Because it pairs 30mm compatibility with included 1″ shims, you spend less on extras and more on zeroing and training. Finally, its lightweight 6.6 oz mass keeps overall rifle balance controlled while still offering secure mounting.
