Hello all.
I finally got my red dot sight, and the mount on the sight is a dovetail mount, but it's too big for my B3. Does anyone know what type of mount I'll need to get?
Thanks.

Most Red-Dots are a Weaver mount, not dovetail....

There are adapters available for mounting a Weaver rail device on a 3/8" dovetail:

Or, you could return the sight and get one made for a 3/8" /11mm dovetail:

OK. Good to know. I think I'll probably just get an adapter for right now.
Thanks for the info

Well, I just located a weaver-dovetail adapter, and I'm going to pick it up later today. I'll post some pics of the final set up.

P.S. Just for anyone who wants to mount a weaver sight or scope on their B3-1, you have to get an adapter to go from a weaver (22mm) mount, to a dovetail (11mm) mount. The dovetail being the mount on the rifle.
