EAW pivot mount, LM rail, Mauser 201 KK

• Pivot design with repeat return: The EAW pivot mount is built so an optic can be removed and reattached while maintaining a consistent zero, which is useful when switching between different sighting setups or transporting the rifle.
• LM rail interface: The LM Rail top side provides a secure, aligned connection for compatible rail-mounted optics, reducing the need for separate rings and helping keep installation clean and stable.
• Rifle-specific fit for Mauser 201 KK: This mount is made for the Mauser 201 KK, giving a dedicated fit that supports correct positioning and dependable function on the rifle it was designed for.
• Steel construction: The steel body adds rigidity and long-term wear resistance, which matters on a mount because consistent alignment under repeated use is essential for reliable point-of-impact retention.
• Made in Germany: German manufacture reflects EAW’s long-standing focus on precision mounting systems, with close tolerances that are important for repeatable attachment and removal.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are one of the company’s defining product families and have been part of the brand’s range for more than 50 years. The series was developed for hunters and sporting shooters who need a mounting system that lets them remove and reinstall an optic without shifting the rifle’s established point of impact. That repeatability is the core idea behind the design and remains the reason these mounts are widely chosen for traditional hunting rifles and other common long guns.

A key characteristic of the series is its ability to support more than one aiming device on the same firearm, making it practical for users who alternate between optics for different distances or lighting conditions. EAW also designed the system with adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits, allowing precise setup during installation. Within the wider range, the pivot-mount concept includes variants tailored to different firearm types, including a lever-operated version for break-action guns. Across the series, the emphasis stays the same: a durable mechanical solution focused on secure lock-up, repeat precision and everyday field practicality.

About the EAW pivot mount, LM rail, Mauser 201 KK

This EAW pivot mount is a rifle-specific mounting solution for the Mauser 201 KK, built with an LM Rail upper interface for compatible rail-equipped optics. In practical use, that combination gives the rifle a clean, low-profile way to carry a scope while keeping the advantages of the EAW pivot system. The optic can be detached when needed and reinstalled with the consistent positioning expected from a properly fitted pivot mount, which is especially useful when a rifle is transported frequently or used with more than one sighting setup.

The use of steel construction is important here because a mount must do more than simply hold an optic in place. It needs to resist wear at the contact points, maintain alignment over time and provide the rigidity required for dependable repeat mounting. The LM rail format also simplifies the connection between mount and optic compared with separate ring-based solutions, which can be an advantage when a shooter wants a tidy installation with fewer individual clamping parts.

Because this model is made specifically for the Mauser 201 KK, its value lies in fit and function rather than broad universality. It is intended for users who want a traditional detachable hunting-optics setup with the practical benefits of repeat return, solid steel construction and a rail-based scope interface that suits modern optic bodies.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business developed its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 the development and production of scope mounts have been its primary focus. In 1923, Ernst Apel acquired Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt and changed the EDW brand to EAW, meaning Ernst Apel Würzburg.

Over time, EAW became closely associated with precision mounting systems for sporting and hunting firearms. The company produces pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts, and claw mounts, and it has expanded its range to include thermal imaging devices as well. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. In this product category, EAW is known for its long specialization in repeatable, mechanically precise optic-mount solutions.
