McDaddy Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I just bought an older Para open gun, with a wilson combat scope mount. I was wondering if I bought a c-more, would the screw pattern line up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazos Custom Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 The C-More pattern is 3 holes on 0.750 centers. You can also get a blank scopemount and drill to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I take it you guys are talking about the "Serendipity" C-more? I just looked up some info on it here: http://cmore.com/serendipity.html#Anchor-35565 There is mounting info at the bottom. I never knew that they came in different widths for different guns (Para vs. STI vs. Widebody, etc.) Could a shooter use a Wislon mount (or another that lines up) and a non-Serendipity model of the C-more?

McDaddy Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 The wilson mount will accept weaver type mounts, but I figured that the one with the integrated mount(serendipity I think) would be closer to the bore line and lighter also.

Brazos Custom Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 The different models are all the same basic mould, they cut the mounting pads thinner for the thicker frames. The cut the legs off to make the slide ride and the railway. The railway or the slide ride will screw onto aftermarket mounts like this. It mounts to the two screw holes in the mount and then screw the mount into the scope mounting holes in the dustcover. You can modify the Serendipity into a slide ride yourself with a hacksaw and a belt sander in about 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Bob, My C-more actually says "Colt" on the side, it is the Railway. I noticed the Railway doesn't have a bottom cover (if it's not on the rail, I see green circuit board). Do you know if the Slide Ride...or any other...has a bottom cover? I might like to add it to mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Modifying a Serendipity to fit, say, a Brazos Custom mount?, also involves drilling holes for the mounting bolts. A belt sander! <smacking self in forehead> That would have been nice. Flexmoney, WhatchutalkinboutWillis? They all have bottom covers. Maybe the former owner didn't include it. The only Colt-branded C-Mores should be the Scout (on AR-15 carry handle mount) and Tactical (with iron sight on Weaver base). The Railway is basically a Slide Ride on a Weaver mount.

Flexmoney Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I have this: Which C-more calls the "Railway". I think Colt calls it the "Tactical" (go figure...how original). It doesn't have a cover plate on the bottom. I think the weaver mount serves that purpose. However, I turned mine around 180 degrees on it's mount to move it back some and get the lense away from the blast. The back of the sight now extends further back than the mount....and has an exposed bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Here, in the area of the red circle (sorry for the backwards angle, old picture). I don't have a lot of mileage on this gun yet, but it doesn't seem like I am getting brass hits in this area. I don't want to push my luck though, and damage the sight.

Larry White Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I had a sti frame drilled for a dawson mt. with 5 screws. I put a serendipty on it and the 1st, 3dr and 5th hole for the dawson lined up. just drilled and taped the rt side. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazos Custom Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Flex, All of the slide rides I have seen have the cover on the bottom. You should be able to order one from C-More. They just pop-in a groove in the bottom edge of the sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Thanks Bob! McDaddy, I just realized I hi-jacked your thread. Did you find the answer you were looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Flex, that's not a Tactical. This is a Tactical: Note the rear sight. Maybe you have a Tactical less the iron sight? You won't damage the C-More by having brass hit it there. OTOH I wouldn't want brass to go upward without a bottom cover and hit the circuit board. Larry, I have the same setup. The back-most screw comes loose after a few hundred rounds. The middle screw also loosens slightly. Even with red Loctite. I want to get my frame drilled and tapped for the extra holes.

Flexmoney Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Whatever you call it ...I have the one in the picture I posted...and my circuit board is exposed. (The box it came in says "Tactical". That is the extent of my knowledge on it. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterj Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 McDaddy, get yourself the slideride and one of Bob's offset mounts. You won't be sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Merricks Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Holy Crap Flex I could have done without see that. LMAO Just kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDaddy Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Sorry about not replying for a while, the flu brought me to my knees. I guess I just need to get the weaver style and call it a day. It'll get the job done and give me added flexability (if I wanna put it on a AR-15 or something similar). Thanks for all the input. Flex, Don't worry about hijacking the thread. I'm not much of a Forum Nazi. -Mac- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
