1.0 out of 5 stars DOES NOT FIT Standard 3/8 Dovetail Scope Base, February 11, 2011

I decided on this adapter set over another highly rated but much more expensive set from B-square. In pictures, they appeared to be identical. Before ordering I made sure (caliper measurement) that the guns on which this would be used had a 3/8" (9.5mm) dovetail and not the slightly larger 11mm dovetail, which is also common. Previous reviewers had pointed out that they were too tight to fit their dovetail mounts but I suspected the problem might be that they had the 11mm type. Wrong! These units were far to small - not even close to 3/8. The semi-rigid design works only if the adapter fits almost exactly, requiring only a little torque to clamp securely to the base. The design is too rigid to pry the clamping jaws wide enough to fit.

In order to make these work, I used a Dremel tool with cutting/grinding wheel to gradually widen the grooves on both sides until they just fit over my dovetail mount. With this modification they do work ok. Next time I will consider ordering the "UTG 11mm to Weaver Adapter, Adjustable" which also fits the 3/8 dovetail, and though is a little taller than I would like, is actually less expensive and highly rated.

At first I liked the low profile of this adapter, but, had to spread it open to fit and broke a screw trying to get it tight. Tossed it in the trash and going to go with a 2 piece rail adapter although the profile will be slightly higher. I would not recommend buying this type of adapters, looks good but far from being.

Would not fit the 3/8" dovetail until the adapter was spread open a little with a screwdriver. Better yet, one of the screws stripped out before the adapter tightened down on the dovetail. Wasted money.
