Looking to use on rifle possibly.
WTK: anyone aware of a mount/adapter to go from a 507K to picatinny rail?

Pretty sure they are a modified shield footprint. I would search for an adapter that way.

Not quite the same. I tried to drop it on a slide milled for RMSc and would need to start hacking on it. trying to avoid additional milling.

Yeah that's a bummer, I see that now. I looked on: Footprints/Mounting Standards on Red Dot Sights - Optics info
Maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal to modify the adapter plate for your rifle. I get not wanting to hack at the slide, but an adapter that might be $50-$100, probably worth the effort.
I'll never understand why companies have to make something just a little different than everyone else does. I wish the companies would just agree on one standard footprint.

I'm not sure how it works with guns, but there are a million aftermarket manufacturers out there that make bolt on accessories for automobiles (eg exhaust systems, intakes, tuners, lift kits, trailer hitches, even just aftermarket repair parts). I don't think making an optic that bolts on to a particular gun's footprint inherently violates any patents or copyrights. If that was true, you'd have to go to the dealer everytime you needed a light bulb or a muffler for your car.
Umm not really a correct analogy but okay

Could it be screwed on to something like this?
Lots of different configurations of picatinny adaptors out there, seems like it will work on one with little more than a drill and tap.
