I could get a custom rail made up by the likes of waitaki engineering but I could also just buy a dovetail to weaver adapter as seen on trademe for around $30.
If this was to be a permanent fitting no questions I would go custom rail.
Will the adapter be fit for purpose just to trial or are they shit ?
Thanks for your input

I may have some of those adaptors kicking around.
