Just got one of these in and thought I would do a mini-review. As we all have seen and know, ADM had an issue with how their mount interfaced with a rail. They have corrected said issue and am happy to report that there is NO MORE canting. They also addressed their screw/ring issue where a user could basically tighten the screws (too much) and break something.
The Recon S mount is basicially their standard Recon mount without the cantilever portion. This mount is perfect for people that either do not need the extra eye relief or people that have a monolithic type upper.
The other great thing about this mount is the cost! MAP on it is $159.95!
I also spent some time playing with their levers and what I found out is that they don't have to be overly tight (hard to close/hard to open) to retain zero. I first adjusted the levers to where they were hard to open and close and tried to move the mount on the rail. If I couldn't move it, then I would adjust the levers tension (with my finger nail) a couple clicks and try again. I was amazed to find out that there isn't any need to have the levers overly tight in order to retain zero.
Next, I wanted to see if I could strip out the screws. So I got my adjustable inch/pound torque wrench and started tightening all the screws. I cranked it up to 80 (which is more than is needed to tighten the screws down properly) and all was good.
I personally think most people have zero idea of how much 80 inch lbs is and often times apply 50-60 FOOT lbs to things like this and wonder why they break.
Here are some pics of the new mount.
