While the well standardized Picatinny rail mount (and its less standardized predecessor the Weaver rail) is most known in the U.S., many European gun manufacturers offer proprietary scope base receiver mounting systems for their guns, for example Sako has tapered dovetails, Tikka use a 17 mm dovetail, [5] and there are other solutions such as ...
NATO Accessory Rail (STANAG 4694) The NATO Accessory Rail (NAR), defined by NATO Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 4694, is a rail interface system standard for mounting accessory equipment such as telescopic sights, tactical lights, laser aiming modules, night vision devices, reflex sights, foregrips, bipods and bayonets to small arms such as rifles and pistols.
The dovetail is approximately 16.5 mm wide, and is radiused so as not to have any sharp edges. The mount is compact enough to be used on pistols, as well as rifles and shotguns. Launched in 2019 together with the sights Aimpoint Acro P-1 and C-1. [25] Also used on Aimpoint Acro C-2 and P-2, as well as Steiner MPS.
It is similar in concept to the earlier commercial Weaver rail mount used to mount telescopic sights, but is taller and has wider slots at regular intervals along the entire length. The MIL-STD-1913 locking slot width is 0.206 in (5.23 mm). The spacing of slot centres is 0.394 in (10.01 mm) and the slot depth is 0.118 in (3.00 mm). [8]
The most commonly encountered mounting systems are the 3 ⁄ 8 inch (9.5 mm) and the 11 mm dovetail rails (sometimes called "tip-off mounts") commonly found on rimfires and air guns, the Weaver rails, the mil-spec MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail (STANAG 2324), and the NATO Accessory Rail (STANAG 4694). Ruger uses a proprietary scope base system ...
The Acro rail is a dovetail rail for attaching a sight via a clamping mechanism, and with a 4 mm [17] wide straight recoil lug groove. The mount is compact enough to be used on pistols, as well as rifles and shotguns. The dovetail is approximately 16.5 mm wide, and is radiused so as not to have any sharp edges.
The Picatinny rail has a similar profile to the Weaver, but the recoil groove width of the Picatinny rail is 0.206 in (5.23 mm) versus 0.180 in (4.57 mm) of the Weaver rail/mount, and by contrast with the Weaver, the spacing of the Picatinny recoil groove centers is consistent, at 0.394 in (10.01 mm).

Glock 19 Gen 3. Glock 19: The Glock 19 is effectively a reduced-size Glock 17, called the "Compact" by the manufacturer. It was first produced in 1988, primarily for military and law enforcement. The Glock 19's barrel and pistol grip are shorter by about 12 mm (0.5 in) than the Glock 17, and it uses a magazine with a standard capacity of 15 rounds.
