    As I only own dovetail models........

    In addition to the epoxy, how many screws hold down the pic base to the action?

    A pic would be great.

    TIA,

    Here are some pics i snatched from SRT Supply website,shows the pic rail.That thing is epoxied for life on the action.I dont even think it needs the screws.I will look at mine shortly and count the screws....without taking my scope off i can see two screws,but it think under the rings is another two.

    I believe there are two screws and two roll pins that are recessed into the reciever befor the pic rail is epoxied to the reciever. I was looking for this info about 10 months or so ago.

    I wonder if 'tails can easily be modded to accept 'rails.

    Not sure why you would want rails to begin with but that's a different subject.


    Good luck

    MZB, yes you can have the dovetail permanently modified to Pic rail by AI. As stated they secure it with screws and epoxy. It is a service Stacey B offers.
    Not sure either.
