I'm looking for a pic rail adapter that has a QD lever that I can leave on my tripod instead of having to leave an ARCA adapter on my guns which can be slightly annoying as they are fairly bulky. All my airguns have picatinny rails so I have adapters on all my guns but am hoping to not need them. Do they make something like that? One would imagine they do but haven't found something in my searches.
 
Dillon, here is another one, don't know ETA though, sorry!

Why not get a clamp for your tripod head that is both Picatinny and Arca Swiss? I have this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/364681427473
I also have this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/364895767131
the QD clamp one is faster of course, but it's slower to adjust between the two platforms if the tension isn't right for one or the other. The twist one is maybe more functional in that regard. If there was one with a clamp AND a large thumb nut for fine adjustment, it'd be the best of both worlds. Since I have the equipment to make such a nut/knob for my clamp style one but haven't done it yet, should tell you that its not that big of a deal to live with either style. :)

That looks good too! I'll need to look into them and see the differences.

Those aren't a bad idea either. Clearly my search I had the wrong words or something. Plenty to look into. Thanks!

After 2 weeks of nothing I checked on the order and now said currently unavailable. I cancelled my order and will be ordering a different one.
