Morning all.
I'm wondering whether it's possible to get rid of the carry handle on the G22 and replace it with something more low-profile, then use the right rings to get the scope to height and add backup iron sights instead of the coat hanger at the front.
I've been considering how to mount the rail and the options seem fairly slim if you want it to be low profile or less intrusive.
IMO the best mount would be similar to JMeck's Mosin mount, using some flat steel to hold a riser on top, then being tightened underneath to suit barrel diameter where it can be hidden from view. Then a standard rail could be screwed into the riser.
Anyone know if anything like this is around? Any other options for barrel-mounting that wouldn't involve taking a grinder to the stock (not visible places at least)?
I've whipped up a "Render" using my mad design skills.
The only other option that I can see would be some sort of shotgun style rail, attached to the stock, not ideal.

Cheers

You mean something like this? - http://www.directshootingsupplies.co.uk ... her-rifles

Thought about it as well, but never got around to it. I did see a G22 without the carry handle for sale a while ago - looked really good.

Close Sandgroper, but the sides could be even thinner so barely anything needs to be removed.
It's looking more and more like it doesn't exist and it may be something I need to make, or have made
I don't suppose you have a pic of the G22 without a handle? I was sure there was one knocking around on the web but I can't find it :(

Unfortunately not - I've been looking for it as well!
