AM/MM rail design?

[Newt]

I've been wondering this since I got one. What's with the AM/MM rail's profile? When I first saw the thing, I thought it was dovetail mounts on each side at an odd angle. If you've ever tried to use them that way, you know that's not the case.

Why did AGD decide on this design?

there's a sidecar that can mount onto the side, used to carry straightshot squeegees.
i think i've seen people mount laserpointers on it too.

A small low power scope fits on there too.

It is a dovetail mount, I've put full size scopes, lasers and red dot sights on it..

Dovetail scope rings fit on there nicely..

Really...Dont I feel stupid... I have a rail that I drilled and tapped to put bracketts on there for holding my sgueege. I used some sort of cabnet hardwear if I remember right...real getto but it worked.

What's a squeegie?

You must have used one before the invention of the level 10

Is it just the price or has someone tried a JCS rail adapter on a am/mm rail? I've never seen one in use.

You can get all different sizes of rings for the 3/8" dovetail rail. It really makes the adapters obsolete for most applications unless you want a riser, and there are even elevated rings for that. Any sports shop that sells rifle/handgun accessories should have these.
