Just spent an hour filing the rail channels on a FabDefense Universal Mounting Bracket to get it on the K22 bottom rail but now it is on it was well worth it. Fitted a Sightmark micro sight and looks the bees knees. Will post photo as soon as l can, unless someone beats me to it with their own.

Sounds like a ball ache. I've ordered a K22 Race Gun with an integral red dot. Will collect at The Phoenix, a year after asking Scott if they could do a K22 similar to the S&W M&P C.O.R.E.

Just waiting for mine to arrive, what did you have to file on it?

Hi

I did a video about this very subject in January ;

Shows how the FAB universal pistol mount is fitted.

Cheers !

That is a good video.

I do like the bit "Sounds awful but its a gun smithing hammer!" I also have such a hammer or two.... clapclap

I needed to file the two horizontal v-channels in the bracket that are supposed to slide on the horizontal v-lugs on the under rail. They need to be taken off a bit along their entire length and then offered on until the bracket slides on (obviously). I left it a bit tight to make sure the bracket was solid. Take the barrel shroud off as it can get scratched with the on/ off process as did mine slightly.

Obviously follow good safety practise before handling the gun (sorry if that sounds patronising).

Thanks my mount arrived today, not bad only a week and it came all the way from Israel, faster than many uk sellers.

5 mins with my trusty Dremel with a sanding disk and a cleanup with a flat file and its now fitted, just waiting till Thursday to zero in my shield mini-site (j point) red dot to see how it goes as may use it in a comp on Sunday. Also now need to do some fettling to my holster to get it to fit with the mount.

I thought of using my Aldi-dremmel but was concerned at taking too much off. Mine also came from Israel and as you say delivered faster than many UK suppliers. I like that you can still.use the open sights with the bracket on. Best of luck with your comp.

So, not THAT Universal then?!?!?!?

They must have used the term Universal as a product name not a description of intended use
