Caldwell Pic Rail Adaptor Plate with Durable Construction and Picatinny Rail Attachment for Outdoor, Range, Shooting and Hunting

I needed to mount a light to my 10/22 to give the dog some protection during her Zero Dark 30 piddles. Our spread in rural Florida is nicely sized, so there are no legal concerns. The Ruger's American-ish stock only had a forward sling stud as an available attachment point; the Caldwell Pic Rail Adapter Plate promised to add a small Picattiny Rail using that sling stud. The Adapter was mounted no more than twenty-five minutes after Amazon delivered it (and a lot of that time was looking for my T-Handled star wrenches.) The adapter proved to be well designed and very solid. The instructions were clearly written and complete, if I had chosen to use them. As an unexpected benefit, the rail cants 5-10(?) degrees vertically to allow it to parallel the bore axis. The Cadwell Pic Rail Adapter is eminently practical way to attach a light (or bipod) to the forward sling stud. It works well and looks professional, and the ability to cant the rail is a real benefit when using a light. All in all, it's an excellent solution to an annoying problem, and a very good value for the money. My only (very small) concern is that at 2.4 ozs, it's a little chonky. Would I buy again? Hells, yes; I'm already looking at buying another one.

Works great. Would highly recommend. Much easier than drilling into my stock to mount a permanent mount.

EASY-PEASY installation and ROCK solid once properly mounted. CALDWELL is a well-known name brand for the gun enthusiast and their "Caldwell Pic Rail Adaptor Plate" is further evidence in providing expected quality, durability, and usefulness of their products. Combined with an "Uncle Mike's Forearm Post" on my project airgun (Crosman Ratcatcher .22 cal), I can now utilize a quality bipod fixture to tighten up my groupings. Caldwell knocked this one way out of the country pasture! NO MORE RABID empty beer cans to worry about with this product. EXTREMELY PLEASED with this purchase and item arrived like a .338 on a 600 yd. bear....nothin' flat! The arm strap "thingy" is a REAL hoot and I LOVE that it was incorporated into the engineering design! One product, TWO very useful purposes!! Let's go find us another RABID empty beer/ bear can, WE ARE READY! ($20 bucks is twenty bucks, RIGHT??)

This is an easy install. Factory spec. Fast ship. Good product. Wil buy again.

Worked great for adding better bipods to a budget long range gun.

Great fit on my Ruger American Gen II. Very snug fit and seems really secure. I have picatinny bipods for my other rifles and didnt want to buy a specific bipod for my hunting rifle. With this adapter, I can interchangeably use my existing bipod even on this new rifle

So let’s start with the misconceptions from other reviews If your rifle has a sling mount, it’ll fit. Period. The directions are non existent though! This is why it took me forever to figure it out and a lot of people think it doesn’t fit. So that part is annoying but it’s insanely sturdy and easy to take on and off once you figure it out! You have to take the whole assembly apart, then mount the whole thing backward basically, otherwise the pin will not reach the hole of your sling mount. Once you have the pin in, you have to hold it in place while you pull the rubberized part over and place the other piece in-between, then screw down on the other two screws until the pin is secure. Then you can mess with leveling the pic rail. This is the biggest con: the Pic Rail cannot be leveled with the barrel as advertised without making it completely unstable. If you can compensate for that though, with other adapters or tools (like I did) it’s very sturdy and also very useful (since you aren’t actually giving up your sling!). All in all: it’s nearly perfect but the things I’ve mentioned are definitely things you need to know before buying

Easy install, seems built well. The pin for the sling eyelet will fall out or can be pushed out with little to no effort. "Common problem" per Caldwell rep. I replaced the pin with a 4/40 allen head screw. Not ideal fixing one that was a month old and updating a brand new one before installing but, should be a long term fix. Other then that one problem, I like this product.

Buena calidad de materiales.

Well made system. Very easy to install. I don't see how the pin can fall out if the screws are tightened properly.

Amazing and a good solid fit!
