The iRay USA Pictail 2 Dovetail to Picatinny Mount in Tan (brand part no. IRAY-AC59-T) is the updated version of iRay’s original AC52 Pictail mounting system. It combines a standard dovetail shoe, the kind commonly used on helmet-mountable night vision optics, with a MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail interface used across weapon platforms. iRay redesigned the Pictail 2 to widen compatibility with newer weapon and helmet-mounting hardware that has come to market since the original version, while still working with the original Pictail and standard dovetail receptacles. It remains compatible with helmet-mounting interface hardware from brands like Wilcox and KVC.
