30mm rings for a Weaver rail
I'm trying to help a cousin of mine out but we are dealing with things beyond my knowledge.
He recently bought a M1a Supermatch that came with a Smith Enterprise M21 mount that has weaver cuts. He purchased a 30mm Vortex scope and 30mm Vortex Precision rings. Until now I thought Weaver and 1913 picatinny were almost interchangeable. The 1913 Vortex rings will not mount to the Weaver rail. The cross slot of the Weaver rail is too narrow for the cross bar of the ring.
I'm now looking for quality Weaver style 30mm rings.
I appreciate and help you could provide.
