The NcStar 3/8 Dovetail to Picatinny Adapter (NcStar part no. MAD38PS) is a low-profile, black anodized adapter rail that converts a 3/8-inch dovetail mount into a Picatinny rail. NcStar builds it as a short section that clamps directly onto the existing 3/8 dovetail, so you can mount a red dot sight or other optic that requires standard Weaver or Picatinny rings and mounts. It’s a simple, inexpensive way to add Picatinny compatibility to a rifle, air gun, or rimfire that only came with a factory dovetail. Installation is a direct clamp-on fit with no drilling or gunsmithing required.
