If you know anything about Timber Creek Outdoors, it’s that they make bright anodized and cerakoted AR parts. They happen to have a new 30mm cantilever scope mount. This mount is part of their “Enforcer” line of AR parts. Because of this, it comes in all of Timber Creek's colors.

The Enforcer Cantilever Scope mount is a top quality scope mounting platform. It is made from 6061 aluminum. This gives the mount plenty of strength while still being lightweight. It weighs in at 6.56 ounces on my scale. This is quite a bit lighter than a lot of mounts in this category. Yes, it is for use with 30mm scopes, so you have plenty of options in the optics arena. There are 4 clamping screws to clamp it to your picatinny rail. These screws also act as the recoil lugs for this mount, making it extremely rigid to the mounting rail. Timber Creek also uses Torx head screws throughout, so no stripping the heads out on this mount.

I opted for the Tungsten Grey cerakote finish on the Cantilever scope mount. As mentioned, the mount comes in Timber Creek’s assortment of colors. Some are anodized and some are cerakoted. From previous experience, I know that Timber Creek does a great job with their anodized colors. This is partly why I chose Tungsten cerakote. The cerakote on this mount is nicely done also, in fact maybe too nice. When I installed the scope, I had to sand the cerakote down inside the rings. Not all of it, just enough to smooth it down because there was some slight binding during the initial installation. The slight sanding cured it. I attribute this to the Tungsten cerakote being a slightly rough finish. Other products I’ve used with Tungsten cerakote also have this same feel to them. I suspect that smooth cerakote options, as well as the anodized ones, might not have this problem. But I really do like how the mount looks on a black AR, it adds just a hint of some color.

Ring height on the TC Enforcer scope mount is 1.5”. Why do you care, you might ask. The 1.5” height is pretty much an industry standard. This height also gives you a proper cheek weld, on an AR rifle, with most optics. I installed a Primary Arms SLx 4-16x44 into the cantilever mount. There is plenty of room between the rail and the objective lens. I’d venture to guess that all 50mm objective lens scopes would still have plenty of clearance between the scope and the rail. Being a cantilever style mount, it also places the scope farther forward to give you proper eye relief on your favorite AR rifle.

The Timber Creek cantilever mount won’t have any problems living on your AR rifle. But, I wouldn’t hesitate to use it on something larger. With those 4 mounting lug screws, it should handle some serious recoil. You could even mount it up on a bolt gun, if so inclined. It only comes in a standard 0 MOA base, but for most of us, that won’t make any difference. I’m pretty pleased with what Timber Creek has done with this mount. Being in the Enforcer line, means that it will match other Enforcer series parts.

Timber Creek has done a fine job with the Enforcer Cantilever mount. It’s rugged and lightweight construction should last you eons. Having colors to match your other AR parts is a bonus too.
