Recknagel Rear Foot for Suhl-Claw Mount for LM Rail

• Traditional Suhl claw-mount component: This rear foot is made for the classic Suhl claw-mount system, preserving the low-profile detachable mounting style favored on traditional hunting rifles.
• LM Rail upper-interface: The LM Rail fit allows the mount to accept optics built around this rail format, giving a secure connection without relying on conventional scope rings.
• Steel construction: A steel rear foot provides the rigidity and wear resistance needed in a locking point that is repeatedly engaged and disengaged during use.
• 0 MOA geometry: With 0 MOA extension and 0 MOA inclination, it keeps the optic in a neutral alignment that suits standard hunting and general-purpose sight setups.
• Made for individual fitting: As part of a Suhl claw mount, the rear foot is intended for precise fitting to the individual mount base, which is essential for secure lock-up and repeatable repositioning.

About the Recknagel Suhl-Claw Mounts Series

Recknagel Suhl-Claw Mounts continue a mounting tradition that began in Suhl in the 1920s and remains closely associated with classic European hunting rifles. In Recknagel’s lineup, this series serves shooters who prefer a traditional detachable mount rather than a modern tactical rail system. It is especially relevant for restorations, custom rifle builds, and established hunting arms where period-correct design and careful mechanical fitting matter as much as function.

The system uses a front hook and rear locking mechanism to attach the optic, allowing the scope assembly to be removed and replaced without tools. When properly fitted, the design is valued for repeatable return to position, which is one of the defining reasons shooters still choose it. Unlike standardized rail-based mounts, these mounts are built around individual fitting to the firearm, reflecting a more traditional gunsmithing approach. Recknagel offers the series in several forms, including versions for conventional scope rings and upper parts for manufacturer-specific rails, so the Suhl claw concept can still be used with a range of modern optics while keeping the character of the original system.

About the Recknagel Rear Foot for Suhl-Claw Mount for LM Rail

The Recknagel Rear Foot for Suhl-Claw Mount for LM Rail is a specialized spare part for the rear locking side of a Suhl claw mount. Its role is mechanically simple but practically important: the rear foot is the part that must mate correctly with the rear base of the mount so the optic can lock in place with the secure, repeatable feel expected from this traditional system. In a claw mount, the quality of the rear engagement has a direct effect on how confidently the optic seats after removal and reinstallation.

This version is configured for LM Rail optics, making it suitable where a rail-equipped riflescope is being used instead of a ring-mounted scope body. That gives the rifle builder or gunsmith a way to combine a classic detachable mounting concept with a rail-type optic interface. The use of steel is especially appropriate here because the rear foot is a high-stress contact point that benefits from strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to long-term wear from repeated locking cycles.

With 0 MOA extension and 0 MOA inclination, this rear foot keeps the setup neutral rather than introducing built-in cant. For most traditional hunting applications, that is the practical choice, as it maintains straightforward optical alignment and preserves the original geometry of the mount. As with Suhl claw components generally, proper fitting is central to performance, making this part most relevant for careful repair work, replacement of worn components, or completion of a custom-fitted mount assembly.

About Recknagel

Recknagel is a German manufacturer of 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, Thuringia. Over time, the range expanded beyond sights to include scope mounts, Picatinny rails, triggers, safeties, and hunting silencers, giving the brand a broad base in rifle-related hardware rather than optics alone.

A key strength of Recknagel is its long specialization in mounting technology, from traditional hunting mounts to more modern systems. In 2010, the company introduced the ERATAC line for tactical mounts and accessories, showing the same engineering focus in a different application area. That mix of traditional gunmaking heritage and modern mount design makes Recknagel particularly relevant in categories such as detachable hunting mounts, rail interfaces, and precision-machined scope-mount components.
