If anyone here has experience with the Weaver "no drill" scope bases for revolvers like a Ruger Blackhawk or Colt Trooper could you please answer a question or two for me?
The mount for a Ruger is a #301 I think.. the Colt is a #303 or #304 maybe. It screws in to where the rear sight screws in to, and then at the forward end of the rib there is a ring or collet that sets over the barrel. How does that portion, the barrel portion, attach? Why does one screw and a collet make a solid mount?
I don't think this mount is made anymore but I'm interested in buying a used one but I want to know more about how it works before I commit to one. My interest is mounting a scope without drilling into the gun.
Thank you
