Laser mount for Webley Nemesis

[Logun320]

Wow, this is great. I have never spotted this Air pistols only forum before and I've been on the bbs for ages.
Anyway I've previously asked the following question on the general forum and although the airgun bbs has THE most informative and forthcoming members I have not yet found a solution to my pistol problem so here goes for all you pistol specialists.

My pistol is a .177 webley Nemesis. I have purchased a BSA tactical laser kit which I intended to fit to my XL Tactical rifle. When I did this the recoil of the rifle knocked out the laser zero every shot so it bloody useless on the rifle. Then I thought it would be perfect on my Nemesis for close range 10m work on my spinners and targets at home. You may or may not know that these very common laser kits come with a couple of mounting methods. One clamps round your scope (no good for the pistol) and the other looks like a normal scope rail clamp but it is WAY TOO WIDE for the scope rails on my Nemesis. Does anybody know if I can get a laser mounting clamp with a narrower clamp to fit the rails on the pistol. By the way I have a couple of spare sets of normal 1" scope mounts lying around and these fit my pistol so why do BSA (and presumably all laser suppliers) include these ludicrously wide mounts?
Please help I so want to mount my laser on the nemesis.

Cheers

can you not get a trigger mounted laser to fit? i dont know just guessing

[Logun320]

Thanks for replying but a trigger mount is not really what I want. I must just not be looking in the right place or asking the right people. It seems that even the most weird questions get answered on bbs but so far nobody has come up with what I though was a relatively simple solution. Is it that the scope rails are too narrow on the nemesis - anybody know what they are by the way? or is it that nobody makes a laser mounting bracket for a scope rail - WHY NOT???

Hi Logun320
I don't know if anyone DOES make a direct mount for a laser simply because when you use one at more than 10 metres you need a scope to see the dot.
The Nemesis has a standard (non Weaver) mounting rail but I think that you will have problems mounting the laser due to the position of your hand when closing the gun after cocking.

You could try a standard scope mount and either cut a bit of tube in half lengthways to act as packing on a single scope mount and put the laser inside the two halves and have it positioned as a foresight. Or use a tube on the mounting and a normal laser attachment on that.

I seem to remember a mount conversion?
It fits to a standard mount so that weaver mounted scopes can e fitted.
Not sure but think I saw on on the Fleabay.

Will go ave a look for you

Yeah, 11mm to 20mm weaver rail adaptor item number 180287265894

That's not his problem Tony.
I went through the same thing when I wanted a laser on my Nemesis because I had snapped off the rear sight. The snag is that all the laser mounts I know of are set up to clamp the laser to a scope because, as I said before, the dot is so small that you need a scope to see it when it's more than a few yards away (except at night, obviously) so there is no market for a direct mount.
The rail is built into the barrel shroud which is also the cocking lever and is a standard 11mm but you need to get your hand well back, almost touching the rear sight, to cock the gun and by shoving a whacking great scope mount and scope on it you have little or no space left to push the shroud back into place.
Logun needs to have something that sits more or less over the front sight for clearance at the rear and your adaptor will not help.
I ended up with a TV Screen style red dot from our sponsors and it has been great.
What I am suggesting is Logun uses one ring of a two ring mount with some form of packing round it and mounted directly against the front sight so as to leave the rear of the shroud free to allow easy cocking.

Think I'll go have a look at the JSR adds.

I have just looked at the Nemesis, and the BSA Tactical laser kit.
The laser kit comes with a couple of mounting systems as said by Logun,
But the mounts are two wide for the 11mm rail.
They will sit nicely on a weaver rail though looking at it.
The weaver clamps to the normal scope mount, the laser mount clamps to the weaver and sits up front of the pistol. leaving enough room to fit your hands at the back of the shroud for cocking

Similar to the way a red dot will sit. I have 3 lasers for my pistols. One has the non standard mount, that fits either weaver rails or sits under the barrel of my CP99. I also have one with adjustable mount (used to fit my pistol bow) now used on my HW 70 and 40 (rarely).

Just my interpretation of what was written
