Do you know how much the Mag sticks up over the Scope rail

also I will be looking at fitting at least a Picatinny rail under the for grip should be fairly easy to either screw on or bolt thru ther are then lots of Options for fore end fitting of bi pods and other kit some maybe useful some not so useful unless your assaulting a building (maybe one on each side as well not sure yet and it might be over kill and its already heavy with that big air bottle on the back )

and put a bridge picatinny rail on top of the Scope dovetail and over the mag so i can swap on my NV sight

Not sure it will fit back in the box after tho

Hi Duncan,
My first mount was a cheap dovetail to weaver rail from JSR plus some medium 30mm weaver rings. It was ok but I was never happy with my head position(too far back).
So I bit the bullet and contacted Sportsmatch who do a special order mount specifically for the MTC connect. A conventional scope should be easier to mount.

Weaver riser and medium ring give approx 35mm between the bottom of the scope tube and the bottom of the mount. See Sportmatch website to see measurement dimension "A".

The new mount gives just over 27mm.

From the bottom of dovetail taper the scope needs approx 20.5mm of clearance with a 12 shot .22" mag fitted.

The underside of the fore stock is tapered relative to the barrel axis so would only be useful for a bipod or an adjustable weaver torch mount (not seen one). I have a weaver mount on top of the scope ring for torches and lasers.

Have a look at the latest picture in my signature, it shows a bipod fitted to a stud screwed into the fore stock. You can use the FX tube clamp on the fill cover, but it's not secure and the rifle won't stand up. Shroud and stock damage could result of it falling over if you let it go.
Hope this helps,
Ian
