Hi all,
So I bought myself a Chiappa LA322 take down barrel.
I also bought a red dot sight for it. As it has a dovetail rail, I purchased a dovetail to picatinny rail mount adapter.
For the life of me I cannot get the adapter to secure on the rail whereby I can attach the red dot with the pic mount.
I can squeeze the adapter on to the dovetail, but being spring loaded it doesn't stay.
If I leave the adapter on the rail and then try to fit the red dot, it doesn't clamp on.
I have done what other videos have shown and put the adapter loosely in the red dot mount and try and attached to the dovetail but it wont grab on.
I am concerned the adapter is the wrong size.
It is described as : Patrol 11 mm Dovetail to 20 mm Weaver Picatinny Rail Converter Adapter Base
As you can see in the photos, repeated attempts to get the base to stay has resulted in having scratched the paint work off the dovetail trying to get this to work.
I am not sure if the rounded dovetail is causing issues vs flat ones i have seen.
Any thoughts?
