Red dot mounts for 1911 .22 LR Rail Gun Cut

This collection contains red dot mounts for the 1911 .22 LR Rail Gun Cut. The mount goes into the rear sight dovetail in place of the rear sight. You fit a red dot without milling and without permanent changes, and you can put the rear sight back at any time. Every mount takes one footprint or a group of footprints, so you choose it by the footprint of your red dot. For the Hämmerli Forge H1, see Red dot mounts for Hämmerli Forge H1.
