Primary Arms RDS Mount Too Large

[JDeko]

The cross pin or whatever it's called is too wide to fit in the slots on the gun I wanted to put it on. The cheap Chineseum RDS I bought as soon as I got my Saiga fits on it, as does my SIG Romeo5. But of course the Chineseum one is... Well it cost $40 and comes loose as you shoot. The SIG was a gift and I already have it zeroed for my Saiga. Has anyone else ever encountered a similar thing? The Primary Arms website says it fits Weaver rails too, so it should fit but it doesn't. Could anyone otherwise suggest a good mount that has a better chance of fitting? I was thinking of going to Top Gun and hoping they'd let me check if a mount fits before I buy it, though that seems like it might be a bit awkward.

Not sure what PA dot you bought, but the Micro I clicked on says picatinny rail mount, and you might have a weaver rail on your rifle.

If you bought it from Primary Arms directly, give them a phone call. Their customer service is great.

Info helps! RDS was kinda vague Must be out of spec then.

Read first review, your not the first to have an issue!

I got a reply from them:

Good Afternoon,

"Thank you for contacting Primary Arms. The Rossi Circuit Judge comes with a Weaver style optic mounting system. Our PA mounts and rings are primarily designed for Picatinny/M1913 rail systems. They may work on some Weaver rails but not all due to dimensional differences. You may run into fitment issues between the two rail systems and mounts. We'd be happy to get you a replacement if you wish using the link below but would not be able to guarantee if it would solver your problem."

They advertise it as fitting Weaver mounts, as stated in my quote a couple posts up, but now they are walking it back to some Weaver mounts. I guess the best I can hope for is to get them cover the return shipping since they don't think their mounts will fit.

Any recommendations on a good single 30mm Weaver optics mount?

Warne steel rings work great! Says Weaver too...
