Abstract
A mounting device for the purpose of mounting various sighting apparatus on the raised vented rib of shotguns and various other weapons is disclosed. A mounting device that attaches to any suspended rail is disclosed. The device is characterized by a channeled piece of material designed to customly accept a flat plate of material within the inner surface walls of the extending arms of said channel and connected together by screws through mating holes to create a clamp-like device when the flat plate of material is placed beneath the suspended rail and the channel piece is placed on top of the suspended rail and mated to the flat plate and drawn together with screws to create a mounting surface on top of the suspended rail for use with various sighting apparatus. The device is affixed with centering and alignment means and braces that allow for adjusting to the various distances between the suspending posts of the rail, for stabilizing and for recoil absorption. The device can be formed, shaped and otherwise configured to work in conjunction with other practical mounting methods.
