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.
There's room for all Gods creatures, next to the mash and gravy :)

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.
