[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1939429, member: 105459"] [B]Please check the screw that locks your rings in place. Depending on it's width ,you may need to replace either your rail or scope rings.[/B] [I][COLOR=#b8312f]If the mounting screw is too wide it will not fit into your rail. (Weaver rail slots are.207" wide[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]If it's too small ,no mater what you do it will not tighten up. ( Picatinny rail slots are.170" wide)[/COLOR] Now Weaver , at least on their Grand Slam Steel Rings have a locking screw that has a ground flat which is intentionally machined into a portion of the screw that runs between the top of the saddle and the rail itself. ( Invert these rings and you can observe this ) Additionally[U] all Weaver rails, plain or 20 MOA. are designed to accept either Picatinny or Weaver style rings.[/U] These Weaver bases or rings will fit either the Picatinny rails , or the Weaver style taking up the slack with a simply increasing tension on the hex head mounting screw with the correct driver. Weaver has figured out how to take either the wider or smaller slot ring bases and with a simple twist of a hex driver securely mount to either the there plain or the 20 MOA style rail, as they have altered the angle and cut of their rail slots allowing your choice of mounts. (OBTW thy are manufactured the in USA ) There may be other company's that allow their rings to fit either picatinny, or Weaver style bases, however usually when you order your rings make certain that you order the correct style rail. The only way to check which style that you have is to measure the slot width of your rail with an accurate set of calipers whether in digital or analog style. Another way too accomplish this is to order your choice of either rail as well as the correct the height rings at the same time, making certain that they will fit each other. If in doubt ask to speak to a sales rep. Better yet do your homework on the Web before you order making certain that both your rail and rings will pair up. As I see it you have two alternatives. 1) Exchange the rail for a Weaver Style which has the wider slot 2) Exchange the Seekin's rings to accept the narrower slots of your Picatinny Style mounted rail. Best of Luck ![/I] [/QUOTE]
