Beamshot RF9 Mount: Attaches to Rifles, Shotguns & Airsoft Guns to Create a Standard 1913 Picatinny Rail System Which Will Accommodate Most Types of Laser & Flashlight Accessories, Black, (RF9_A)

High quality, easy install, durable, made tough.

I wanted to add a laser sight to my Umarex Legends MP air rifle. Being a replica of a WWII weapon it does not have an accessory rail. Beyond that, it's just not friendly to adding modern equipment due to the antique design. This add on rail works fine, even on this gun. I haven't shot it yet with the sight, but the sight can be zeroed so I would expect no problems. It is easy to use and comes with assorted gaskets to both size the rail and protect your gun's finish. If it can work on this gun, it should work on just about any rifle. It can be made very snug, so using it on an actual firearm shouldn't be a problem.

This mount will fit a vent rib 12 gauge barrel. I think this is the only item that will. I wished it didn't Stand off quite so far, but not a deal breaker. It is good quality to.

This thing is awesome👍. Well except for the first one it came without the Allen wrenches and screws. But then I ordered a replacement and that one came with everything it was supposed to. Funny thing is when I first installed it I put the screws in on the opposite side and when I screwed them all the way in nothing was getting tight I tried the rubber spacers and still nothing was getting tight. Then when I put the screws in on the other side it tightened perfectly and I didnt even need the spacers. After that I got it straightened and put on my olight baldr mini laser flashlight which I recommend if you need a laser flashlight. It works really well on my airsoft sniper rifle and will be fun to shoot at night. I highly recommend🙂👍.

Mounted to the load tube of my Mossberg 500 Cruiser with pistol grip. Wanted a mounted solution for a laser flashlight combo for nights where the coyotes like to wander into the backyard. Absolutely solid and seems to hold up well with no loosening issues under the recoil of the 12 gauge. Great little clamp for the money..

While this mount *can* fit on a 12ga shotgun barrel, it does so terribly. This thing might be (barely) passable for use on an air gun, but on a shotgun or anything else with notable recoil, I don’t think it would stand up to use. The hinged design of this mount means that the clamping surface only forms a circle at one specific diameter (and that diameter is much, much smaller than a 12 gauge barrel). At any other diameter, the clamp forms an oval(ish) shape. So, unless your barrel is very close to the optimal diameter, the clamp surface does not seat against the barrel properly. Instead it only makes contact at four points, leaving gaps everywhere else. This isn’t just cosmetically hideous, it also means that the clamp has poor grip compared to a circular clamp, digs in to the barrel, and has gaps to collect moisture, oil, and dirt. (I wish I had taken pictures. The fit on a large barrel is amusingly bad.) Moving on, the silicone pads do not match the size of this clamp. They are way too small. You have to use two of them to try to protect your barrel. Finally, the rail ends up offset from the barrel when clamped onto a large barrel. I wish I’d looked at pictures in the reviews before buying. Take a look at how it fits for people and decide if that’s what you want before ordering. This thing can only properly fit one size of barrel, but they sell it like it’s universal fit.

I was looking for a way to attach a rail (for a action camera) to my Browning 12Ga. Over/Under (O/U) shotgun. This mount is sturdy and well made, but it didn't work out for me. It is designed to clamp to a barrel with two semi-circles, which can theoretically be padded such as to leave a "gap" opening to accommodate the side rib (the component between/joining the two barrels). However, there is as inherent asymmetry in the way this mount clamps the barrels that makes this unsatisfactory for a O/U. If you look closely at the pictures, the two "halves" of the clamp are not symmetric. The rail is fixed to one of the "halves;" The other "half" slides into its counterpart as a hinge that can be "opened" or "closed" to adjust the size of the circular clamp to the diameter of the barrel and thickness of the side rib. However, any adjustments cause the second "half's" spatial relationship with the rail to vary. When the hinge is set to the diameter of the barrel and the "gap" is positioned to straddle the side rib, the rail is not correctly oriented with the gun's axis. TL:DR: The angle of the rail to the axis of the barrels ideally should be set level to the ground or 90 degrees to the vertical axis of the barrels. I couldn't do this with this mount on my o/u. This won't be an issue if only have one barrel and no constraints as to where the "gap" needs to be; you would just simply clamp this mount onto your barrel and rotate until the rail would be level to the ground (albeit the rail may still be offset in a different axis). However, an o/u has constraints on the size of the hinge/clamp AND the position of the "gap." Again, this mount is well machined and finished. It feels sturdy. It just can't mount to an o/u.

Needed a way to hunt copperheads at night w/o having to hold a flashlight in my mouth, or needing a 2nd person to hold the light. This works perfect. Now I can hold the shotgun with one hand at my waist as a walking flashlight, and when I see something there's no more shuffling a light separate from the gun.
