EAW LM Rail Front Pivot Feet

• Steel front pivot foot: The steel construction gives this spare part the strength needed to handle repeated mounting cycles and recoil forces in an EAW pivot-mount system.
• Built for LM rail optics: Designed for riflescopes with an LM rail, it provides the correct front interface for a clean, secure connection without relying on ring clamping.
• Part of the EAW Pivot Mount system: Used within EAW’s pivot design, the front foot supports repeatable removal and reattachment of the optic while helping maintain the rifle’s zero.
• 0 MOA configuration: The neutral inclination suits standard mounting setups where no built-in cant is required, keeping the installation straightforward.
• Made in Germany: German manufacture reflects EAW’s long-standing focus on precisely machined mounting components for hunting optics and riflescope installations.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s long-established quick-detachable mounting system for common rifles and long guns. The series was developed more than 50 years ago and remains one of the defining parts of EAW’s mount range. Its core idea is practical: the riflescope can be removed and reattached without changing the point of impact, which is especially useful for rifles that alternate between different optics or a scope and another aiming device.

A key characteristic of the series is its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit, which allows the mount to be tuned to the individual rifle and optic combination. That tension-controlled fit is central to the system’s repeatability. EAW also offers a lever-operated variant in which the closure is placed on the scope mount rather than on the firearm, a design intended especially for break-action firearms. Across the series, the design philosophy is mechanical precision, secure lock-up and practical serviceability, making these mounts a familiar choice for traditional hunting rifles as well as users who value detachable optics with consistent return to zero.

About the EAW LM Rail Front Pivot Feet

The EAW LM Rail Front Pivot Feet is a dedicated spare part for building or servicing an EAW pivot mount that carries a riflescope with an LM rail. Rather than clamping around a scope tube, this component forms the front engagement point of the pivot system for rail-equipped optics. That makes it relevant wherever a clean rail-based installation is preferred, whether for a new mounting project or for replacing a worn or damaged original part.

The practical role of the front pivot foot is more important than its size suggests. In a pivot mount, the front interface is a critical part of how the optic seats, swings into position and returns to the same alignment after removal. A properly matched LM rail front foot helps preserve the repeatable character that makes pivot mounts attractive for hunting rifles and other rifles that may carry more than one sighting setup. The steel construction supports long service life and stable engagement under recoil, while the 0 MOA inclination keeps the setup neutral for standard mounting geometry. Because this version is intended for the LM rail format and for use above EAW Type Pivot Bases, it is best suited to users maintaining compatibility within the established EAW system rather than adapting across unrelated mount standards.

About EAW

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

Today, EAW is known for German-made mounting solutions for hunting and shooting optics, including pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts and claw mounts for riflescopes. The company also offers thermal imaging cameras, showing that its expertise extends beyond mounting hardware into adjacent field-optics categories. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany.
