How can you tell which rail on your gun you have?

If you're referring to the distinction between a MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny Rail and a Weaver Rail, your answer is to use a pair of calipers. Weaver Rails have a slot width of .18 inches, with no standards regarding the spacing of slot centres. Picatinny rails have a slot width of .206 inches, with slot centres spaced at .394 inches. General rule of thumb is that, if it's intended for commercial, hunting or other type of sporting uses, it will usually have a Weaver rail, while military styled and tactical designs will have a Picatinny system (to include rifles dressed up as sporting guns, such as the 'Remington' AR15 rifles currently sold at places such as Dick's Sporting Goods). However, Picatinny rail systems are available for commercial sporting firearms and vice versa. In the case of Airsoft weapons, although they try to emulate designs with Picatinny rails, the measurements are probably Weaver, or closer to it, as most airsoft accessories are designed to be Weaver compatible.

Will an AR-15 Carry Handle fit on a Weaver scope mounting rail?

It may or may not. As the Weaver mounting system is not standardised, there are variances in the measurements of rails and channels on the Weaver system from different manufacturers. In some cases, Picatinny systems are compatible, and in some cases, they are not.

It all depends on the Daisy Scope rings that you have. The M4 has a removable front and rear sight. This will allow you to add a scope to the Weaver rail mount on the M4 if your scope rings are the weaver size. If not, then you need to purchase weaver scope rings for your scope.


What kind of rail is on the Remington tac1 airsoft gun?

The rail is a copy which seeks to emulate the MIL-STD-1913 (also known as 'Picatinny') rail system common to NATO and Western-aligned military weapons. However, it may not be manufactured to the specified dimensions of the MIL-STD-1913 system, but rather, the Weaver rail system. There are three common types of these rail systems: MIL-STD-1913/Picatinny (which is common for military and law enforcement applications), the Weaver rail (which is commonly used for mounting scopes and optics on commercial hunting rifles), and the Diemaco rail (a variation of the Weaver rail first used on the Canadian variation of the M16 rifle). The difference between the two is that the Weaver rail has a slot width of 0.180 inches, with no specifications for the slot centers. The MIL-STD-1913 rail has a slot width of 0.206 inches, and all the slot centers are spaced at 0.394 inches. To determine which of these specifications the rail system is based on would require measurement with a set of calipers. If you are unable to do this yourself, any gunsmith or tradesmith in any occupation requiring the use of calipers should be able to do this.

How do you mount a scope on a non rail 22?

Well, it depends on what you have. The 10/22 comes with a proprietary rail, and is tapped already for a scope. If you have one which isn't, you need to decide what sort of mount you want. You might want to add a Weaver or Picatinny rail, or you might want to mount the scope bases directly into the receiver. Once you've made up your mind, then you get it tapped for a scope.. I'd recommend you leave this to a qualified gunsmith.
