Yeah the rail is an OLD style of pic rail. There is a front slot and a rear slot, and that's it.

MAC1 USFT Analysis/Overview
- Thread starter Franklink
- Start date
If you haven't already, skim through some of the photos that have been shared here and you'll see a very different scope mounting situation.
My first thoughts if I were you....and assuming the current little section is just bolted down.....take that critter off and replace it with something simple like this....
Crotek 10 inch Long Picatinny Rail Mount Aluminum 25 Slot Black https://a.co/d/dJ4Ny8j
Sure doesn't have to be 10 inches long, but just to give an idea...
As long as there are some tapped holes going down into the breech this should be an easy fix. Most complicated part would be locating the holes in the new pic section correctly -id use the old section as a template.
Compare the heights too, of any rail you're considering to the photos here...as a guide for eye alignment and correct height to give enough room for a large scope bell.

Looks great! Maybe try contacting Wayne from Oregon Airguns and see if he has anything. I believe that he may have purchased Mac 1 airguns and may have the pic rail that you need.
Im also curious as to what foot pound your gun shoots at. Again, congratulations hope you enjoy your new purchase!

Next thought is that if your current little section of pic rail isnt removable and you have to use current..... cantilevered scope mounts, even if you have to run em backwards to make it work, lots of options to choose from and I'm sure something is out there that'll work.

Rifle is a 20ftlb, will test out once I get to the range.
The rail is bolted on, so easily removable. The hole placement would be the biggest issue.
I will reach out to Wayne and see what he says.

Nice early gun...If you notice the USFT markings on the Port side, early hammer that LD "ground off" a little material on the right side to speed things up. (He's left-handed)

It's a Neil Clague titanium moderator.
Very nice gentleman to deal with. Would not hesitate to purchase from him again.
