How to mount the rail myself
1760839
Hi Reno I am not sure what you are asking but I'll give it a shot. If the firearm you want to use has drilled and tapped holes that are plugged with allen screws just remove them and use almost any rail which should include new screws to nount the scope on the firearm. If your firearm does not have the threaded holes either go to a local gun store and try to find a rail that mounts to the rear sight. You can Google your firearm and enter "scope mount for xxx" where xxx is your gun. The last way that I know is to take your firearm to a competent gunsmith and have him drill and tap holes in your gun for a rail. I have two Ruger revolvers and have rail mounts that attach to the rear sight mounting holes. You must remove the rear sight to do this and instructions usually if not always come with the rail mounting kit. My Mosin Nagant has a kit that installs to the rear sight stuff too. My Ruger 1022 came with a rail and screws and just screws on to pre-drilled holes. I hope this helps but if not please give me more details and maybe I can be of more help. Dan

I also had a problem getting the scope to fit my rifle properly. So, like the other readers of this problem, I took it to my local gun range and they fit it perfectly. I had to purchase another mount , so now I have no problem.

Use the right size punch to knock out the pin holding the iron sight remove sight and put rail into place use a c clap to push the rail into place compressing the spring then use the pin you removed to hold the rail into position you may have to drill out the mounting hole on the rail to make the pin fit

What are you mounting this to. I mounted it on a Mosin Nagant. I knocked out the two pins holding the rear sight and knocked the rear sight off the gun. the rear sight is mounted on a 3/8 inch rail which is the same size as the mount. I then tightened the screws and then put the scope in place

There should be a small metal clip thing that goes on the bottom of the main rail and attaches to the top of the extension rail.

You can buy a kit from light rail. It has a trolley and connecting rods. Or you can make a set up yourself at the hardware store. I suggest the kit.

I don't have the rail system, but the "clamps" are completely adjustable soIt's probable.

I do not know. I'm handy with tools so I was able to install PART of one rail section on my 300 AAC. As I mentioned, these are NOT true 'keymod' mounts, but are cheap to play with. ron

The rail I purchased did not come with rings for mounting. I had to purchase rail mounts that the two rails slid into. Use cement mollie bolts to screw the mounts into the cement. The mounts I purchased are 6 inch and have worked very well.

Yes, drilling is necessary to mount the rails. if you have access to a drill press it is pretty easy to do yourself.

You need to also purchase the pieces that go on each side of the top rail. They come as a pair from amazon. Then it works great.

You have to drill it out yourself. Hardware includes special screws to mount once drilled.

There are plastic mounts that screw in the wall. The rails snap on to these.

Underneath the scope is a permanent mount which is screwed onto the rails. So yes, you can remove two screws and remove the rail but not sure how you would mount it. If you can find a close up of the front of the scope you can see the shape part which is permanent. Not sure I helped...

To mount to the rail you will need a screw less than the rail thickness, for example the typical rail is 3/4" to 1' thick so i use a #8 wood screw that is 3/4" as the bracket itself will prevent the screw from coming out the face side of the rail. for the head board itself i use #8 coarse thread screw of an appropriate length as above . these work well.

Bottom of the cabinet. Two screws for each rail and I installed it myself. Love it so far. I just wish it sat a little closer to the front of the cabinet.

You just tie them to a rail, but if you want to mount them or remove them quickly, I recommend buying the rail mounts as well. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000MJKKKO/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1374115827&sr;=8-7π=SL75

Had no problems attaching the rail. It took a couple of minutes. Spent more time attaching the flashlight. There was no tapping or drilling needed as long as your current grips have vent holes on the underside to allow the bolt and nuts to feed through. Good luck!

It's very easy if you just bought them the come with instructions. If you already have them and no instructions the bar has two lift tabs on each bar lift them up put one end of the bar into any one side of the rail and due the same for the other side line up with the little arrows on top of the rails push down the tabs and your ready to so the second one the same way.
