mark1187 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hi Folks, My HW100KT currently has two Hawke 11mm dovetail/Weaver adapters mounted. These are the extended HM17017 on the front and the rear block from the HM17013 at the rear. This set-up allows me to switch relatively easily from day to night modes while maintaining comfortable eye relief. At night I am using an Yukon NVMT4 with a DSA on a Viper 3x12-44 with a couple of extra illuminators scope mounted. I would like to fit a low-profile one piece picatinny, preferably covering the front and rear dovetails. This serves the dual role of lowering the mount height and locking/stiffening the action. The mount needs to be able to put up with my top heavy set-up and tolerate the odd knock or bump. There looks like there is enough "meat" on the rear dovetail, when viewed through the cocking slot, but I haven't a clue about the front of the action. Anyone machined their action successfully? If so was this DIY, or by a machine shop/gunsmith? Any help gratefully received, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
