Recknagel Two-Piece Adapter for Guide

• Two-piece adapter design: The split construction gives the adapter a secure hold on the host optic while keeping installation practical when fitting a thermal clip-on system in front of the riflescope.
• Guide interface compatibility: Built for the Guide Mounting Standard (M33.5x0.75), it provides the correct front connection for compatible Guide thermal clip-on devices and helps maintain proper alignment.
• Aluminium construction: The aluminium body keeps weight down without giving up the rigidity needed for an accessory that must stay stable under field use and repeated mounting.
• Black anodized finish: The anodized surface adds wear resistance and protects the adapter against everyday handling, while the non-reflective black finish suits hunting and observation use.
• Multiple rear compatibility sizes: With rear compatibility for 56 mm, 62 mm, 48 mm and 30 mm, this adapter supports several common riflescope dimensions and makes it easier to match a clip-on setup to different optics.

About the Recknagel Accesories Series

Recknagel Accesories sits within a long-established product family shaped by a company history that goes back to 1867. In this part of the range, Recknagel focuses on practical components for hunting firearms and workshop use, with products intended for both hunters and gunsmiths. The series is defined less by one single product type than by a common design approach: precise fit, durable materials and compatibility with real field setups.

Within the broader accessories line, Recknagel includes solutions that support mounting, adaptation and system integration. One example is its use of aluminium accessory components and interfaces developed to attach rails or adapters where needed. The family reflects the company’s wider catalog structure, where dedicated ranges exist for scope mounts and for sights and hunting-weapon accessories. In practice, that makes the series relevant for shooters building complete optical systems rather than buying a single standalone part. For clip-on and mounting accessories, the emphasis is on clean mechanical integration, sensible material choice and compatibility with common hunting-optics configurations.

About the Recknagel Two-Piece Adapter for Guide

The Recknagel Two-Piece Adapter for Guide is a purpose-built mounting accessory for fitting a Guide thermal clip-on with the M33.5x0.75 interface to a compatible daytime optic setup. Its role is straightforward but important: it creates the mechanical connection between the clip-on device and the host scope, which is critical for stable alignment and dependable use in the field. Because clip-on systems sit in front of the riflescope, the adapter has to do more than simply fit; it also needs to hold position consistently during handling and repeated installation.

The two-piece construction is well suited to that task. It allows the adapter to clamp around the relevant scope dimension in a practical way, making installation more manageable than a one-piece sleeve while still providing a secure interface. Rear compatibility with 56 mm, 62 mm, 48 mm and 30 mm gives this model flexibility across several common optic dimensions, which is useful when matching a thermal clip-on system to different riflescope formats.

The body is made from aluminium, a sensible choice for a front-mounted accessory where unnecessary weight can affect balance. The black anodized finish adds surface protection and keeps reflections low. As a result, this adapter suits hunting optics setups where reliable fit, low added weight and clean integration with a Guide clip-on system matter more than unnecessary complexity.

About Recknagel

Recknagel is a German manufacturer specializing in firearm and riflescope mounting systems, sights and hunting accessories. The company’s history began in 1867, when Adolf Recknagel started manufacturing firearm sights in Albrechts near Suhl in Thuringia. Over time, the range expanded to include scope mounts, Picatinny rails, firearm sights, triggers, safeties and hunting silencers, giving the brand a broad role in the mechanical side of sporting and hunting firearms.

The company has also developed dedicated product lines for more specialized use, including the ERATAC line of tactical mounts and accessories introduced in 2010. Recknagel relocated from Schweinfurt to Bergrheinfeld in 2006, and in 2022 the company was acquired by Dr. Moritz Fehrer. In the optics and mounting category, Recknagel is known for precise metalwork, practical mounting solutions and a product range built around secure, repeatable attachment of sights and optical accessories.
