EAW Rear Pivot Base for Mauser M18

• Rear pivot base for Mauser M18: This base is made specifically for the Mauser M18, giving the rear section of an EAW pivot mount the correct fit on the rifle and helping the system return to the same position after removal and reattachment.
• Steel construction: The steel body provides the rigidity needed in a scope-mounting interface, which helps maintain alignment under recoil and repeated handling in hunting use.
• Part of the EAW Pivot Mounts system: Used within EAW’s modular pivot-mount design, this rear base supports a setup that can be removed for transport, storage or a second optic without turning the rifle into a permanent one-scope configuration.
• 0 MOA inclination: The neutral base angle suits standard scope installations where no built-in cant is required, keeping the mounting geometry straightforward for general-purpose hunting rifles.
• Made in Germany: German production is central to EAW’s reputation in riflescope mounting hardware, with close machining tolerances that matter when a detachable mount must fit consistently and lock up cleanly.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s long-established answer for shooters who want a detachable riflescope mount without giving up repeatability. EAW brought this pivot-mount concept to market more than 50 years ago, and it remains one of the defining product families in the brand’s lineup of hunting optics mounts. The series is built for common rifles and long guns, with model-specific components that let the mount match the firearm rather than forcing a one-pattern solution.

A key characteristic of the series is its focus on repeatable removal and reattachment. EAW designed these mounts so the scope can be taken off and put back on without changing the point of impact, which is especially useful when a rifle is shared between different sighting setups or carried with the optic removed. The system also uses adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits, allowing careful mechanical matching during installation. In practice, that makes the series well suited to traditional hunting rifles where a secure lock-up, clean handling and the option to swap to a second scope or aiming device matter more than a one-piece universal rail.

About the EAW Rear Pivot Base for Mauser M18

The EAW Rear Pivot Base for Mauser M18 is a model-specific mounting component for building an EAW pivot mount on the Mauser M18 platform. As the rear base in the system, it forms the attachment point that supports the rear section of the detachable mount and helps the optic settle into the same mechanical relationship with the rifle each time it is installed. That matters on a hunting rifle, where a detachable setup is only useful if it returns to a dependable zero after being removed for transport, cleaning or a change of sighting equipment.

The use of steel construction is important here because the base is part of the load-bearing interface between rifle and optic. A rigid steel component resists wear at the contact surfaces and supports a stable lock-up over repeated mounting cycles. The 0 MOA inclination keeps the geometry neutral, which suits conventional hunting scope installations on the Mauser M18 and avoids adding built-in cant where it is not needed. Because this is part of the broader EAW pivot system, it also fits into a mounting concept known for detachable use rather than a fixed, permanent arrangement. For shooters building a traditional hunting rifle with a removable scope, this rear base provides the rifle-specific foundation needed for a clean, mechanically consistent installation.

About EAW

EAW traces its history to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business entered the riflescope-mount field in 1945 with its first scope mounts, and since 1951 the development and production of riflescope mounts have been its main focus. Over time, EAW became particularly well known for mechanical mounting solutions for sporting rifles, including pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts.

The company later moved production from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. In addition to mounts, EAW also offers thermal imaging cameras, but its reputation is still closely tied to precision scope-mount engineering for hunting and shooting applications. That background is directly relevant to products like this Mauser M18 rear pivot base, where exact fit and repeatable mechanical engagement are the whole point of the design.
