Area 419 Tactical One-Piece Scope Mount

[Caba]

I'm thinking of switching my scope mounts to the Area 419 One-Piece mounts 9and their hunt rings for my hunting scope. One of my rifles is a switch barrel and I'll be switching out to a different scope for hunting.

For the folks that use these mounts, are there any issues with the fasteners? The ones on my spuhr mount are soft and seem to mar easily.

Also, I'm debating between the send it level adapter or accesory picatinny rail for my send it level. Any reason do go with one over the other?

Thank you.

No issues. Anything Area 419 makes is usually pretty solid and robust. I had a mount from them but got rid of it when I sold my only 35mm scope. It was very nice and I liked the little locator pins for each cap.

I only have the rings, but I also love the index pins and wide bearing surface. I chose the adapter for my Send It. Works really great.

I have three of the Area 419 mount. They are excellent. No issues whatsoever. They make the fasteners in house.

Thanks Gents. I figured they were good to go, but it doesn't hurt to get a second opinion. I've been pleased with the quality of my other Area 419 products. Their machining is top notch.

 

[oldrifleman]

Totally great stuff.

 

[DeathBeforeDismount]

Best option out there at the moment I think. Very very well thought out mount system and ecosystem.

Not doubting you, but having spent many years in the fastener business, this would really surprise me.

There are several companies that make quality fasteners, and who do it much cheaper than they can be made in house. Camcar-Textron and SPS-Unbrako are just a couple off the top of my head.

They make them in house from SS and have them nitrided. They started doing it for the zero press, but now I'm assuming nobody wanted to make their specialized hardware for a decent price, so they just decided to make it themselves.

Entirely possible.

A company I used to work for had private label stuff made by CamCar-Textron in the US for a decent price, but we were buying it several trailer loads at a time.

They do, there were some teething issues and revisions in the fasteners as well.

I'm sure, and I'm also sure they do a fine job of it. It's just generally not something a smallish shop would bother with.

 

[koshkin]

I thought that was odd, so I asked them a couple of times. They said they make them in house.

Would not surprise me as they are very particular about making their products the best they can and searching for perfection.

I know you said you did, what I’m saying is Craig can come in here and explain in whatever detail he wants to address @mi650

I don't doubt he does it, just find it unusual and generally unnecessary.

I completely understand, and applaud, not buying screws from Taiwan or China. But I'd have no issue with any company using screws made in the US instead of making their own. It actually makes complete to me, and I do it every chance I get. Hell, when I need wood screws, I don't buy the bulk shit from HD, I buy Spax, made in Germany. (I've never heard of a wood screw made in the US.)

I love Spax screws.
