Page 3 of 3 - M1A/M14 Scope Mount Reviews

It allows a scope to be mounted on the Winchester M14 BB gun

I found that the main mounting screw is a bit short and does not reach the internal receiver threads to give a solid fit. I had to do some judicious filing on the rear of the mount to get it down to a point where the threads of the main mount screw could catch. I also had to apply a dab of locktite red to insure that the threads stayed engaged.I also had to peen the base of the stripper clip base mount to widen it out enough to get a solid fit in the receiver. The fit was loose enough that when the set screw was tightened down ti actual cammed the piece forward and initially forced it out of the dove tail slot.

With the mentioned modifications it is not a bad mount. Perhaps the manufacturer could make the modifications to the stripper clip mount and lengthened the main mounting screw.

It looks nice on the M14 air rifle. It's low enough, but it's also high enough to allow the use of the iron (plastic) sights.

No Allen wrench is supplied for the rear dovetail block and none of my SAE wrenches fit, so I'll have to go through my metric ones. Another option is to just drill and tap it for a larger size set screw. Also, a spacer block needs to be fabricated to fit between the dovetail block and the rear of the mount, so that the rear screw will not pull the dovetail block sideways and therefore change the windage setting.

Besides the little bit of shop work required as described above, I LIKE IT!

Very reasonable cost, fit is tight no wobble. Adds some needed weight to rifle.

it Is self explanatory

Use common sense to attach

Heavy steel construction of the rail and easy installation.

Supply an Allen wrench with each order.

Easy to install and tighten if done right, instructions would be a GREAT help.

The rail itself is made excellent,the base block,was very loose in my Winchester modle,but made a small shim,now snug.

The shorter of the two hand knobs was to short for Win.modle,used a screw on bottom front mount hole.if the nobs were both long,you could always shorten one,with a Dremel.

On Winchester modle,takes some tweaking to get it flat and sqare.I don't know about air venturi modles

Fits and works perfectly

Please add an instruction sheet. No Allen wrench included

Would have been 5 stars if the kit included the above mentioned items

The metal is quality and the fit was perfect. After the proper adjustment see notes below.

Needs an Allen wrench and a manual for instructions for proper attachment.

Mine would not snug properly at first then I figured out to slide the under platform to the edge of the rifle and then all snugged real well. The rifle already was accurate, but now if you do your part you can hit same ragged hole at 20 yrds!

The base block is a very loose fit. I don't know if it's due to the block or the base on the Winchester M14 I got it for. I haven't yet gotten the rail to sit level like it should. I will update when I do.

Quality metal and snug fit. Easy to install.

Allen wrench should be sent with kit.

Now with this scope mount installed it gives the rifle a little more weight. Rifle feels more real. Great balance.
