harry gee Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Hi Newbie here! I have an ASG M40A3 spring rifle and have a scope and red dot which fit the rail on this rifle which I think is a RIS/Picatinny rail? I am thinking of getting a CYMA CM701B rifle and want to know if my accessories would fit the weaver rail which I think is fitted to this rifle? If not , I don't really want to buy new scope/red dot so is there a workaround? Many thanks UPDATE ; I was planning to buy from this website https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/cyma-cm-701-spring-bolt-action-sniper-rifle which comes without a rail so I guess I could buy a Picatinny rail to fit? Is this easy to do and do I have to remove the rear iron sight? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 The width is the same between the two but the Weaver has narrower notches than RIS so if your scope has an indexer bolt it may not fit. https://www.targetbarn.com/broad-side/picatinny-rails-vs-weaver-rails/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry gee Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 could you recommend a rail that would fit this rifle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) I don't know how easy/hard it would be to add a rail to that one you linked. But there are many bolt action (spring) sniper rifles that come with a RIS rail https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-sniper-rifle-all Edited April 5 by EDcase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry gee Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 A cheap RIS rail but be great! Hi EDcase thanks for your replies ; I will look to get a RIS rail for the Cyma which will let me swap my scope/red dot between the 2 rifles ; is it easy to remove the rear iron sight on the Cyma to fit a rail?

EDcase Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) Sorry, I can't help with the CYMA as I don't have one. You say you haven't bought it yet. Why not buy one with the rail already included? (They will all be compatible with your sight) Edited April 5 by EDcase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
