Which one? I've been told its the latter but I've tried mounting a red dot that had one, If its a Weaver that makes my job a whole lot easier.

I believe the Buckmark 22 pistol has a Weaver rail BUT the UK versions are not Buckmark pistols, they are cut down Buckmark rifles.

Most Weaver mounts will fit a Picatinny rail but not all Picatinny mounts will fit the Weaver rail. In practice I could mount any of the various scopes or red dots I had on the Buckmark LBP rail without a problem, the only PITA was having to remove the scope as the rail has to be removed to strip the thing for full cleaning.

If that is the case then, I may have found the culprit. Its the mount that the razor came with by the sounds. I've sent emails to a few dealers. I don't know if riflecraft has any razor red dot mounts anymore or if other dealers might have them.

Anyone know who has one of these for certain please? I need to order it to get my red dot to fit on my buckmark please.
