Built in Weaver rail, do rings just go right on?

Post by Cleveraction » Sun Mar 27, 2022 9:41 am

Hi all!

I just ordered a shotgun that has built in weaver rails atop the receiver. First time for me using this, can you please tell me if I should just mount the rings to this? While there would be no "cross bar" to prevent slippage, if I mount a rail to the rail there is nothing preventing that from slipping either... torque to spec I think I would be OK, but thank you in advance for your opinions before something goes flying off and punches me in the face.

While this will live a lot of its life with the bead, upcoming pig hunt and I might put something on top for slugs to 100.

Be safe, have fun!

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Yes the Weaver rings should fit right on. Slippage has never been a problem on mine. Don’t over tighten them and rather tighten them often. Some people will use Loctite.

As already mentioned slippage shouldn't be a issue. But you'll likely have to strap a cheek riser on the butt stock to get your eye up higher when you put a scope on.
