How to mount the scope on the DLT-19x(surfinbird)

[Fulcrum0025]

 

I‘ve finished the basic painting of the scope, but I'm having trouble connecting.

To make it portable, I'm not planning to glue. But I'm trying to make it detachable.

I'm wondering how to achieve an assembly method between the scope and the gun body.

You can either use rare earth magnets or you can add some rods to the bottom of the scope with corresponding holes sunk into the body of the rifle.

Here’s how I did mine:



The magnets in the scope are recessed flush. The magnets on the DLT are glued to the surface.

Thanks! But is the glue strong enough to hold the magnets? Sometimes the magnetic force is way too stronger than the glue...

One way around that is to mark the opposite poles with a sharpie and glue one at a time. 

This was mine

I used E6000 and have had no issues with the bond.  Not sure if that’s available in China or what the equivalent would be if it isn’t.  I don’t think CA glue would hold over time.

Yes! I have found it easily. 

However, is 3M CA40H an option? They are both called "jewery glue".

3M CA40H is a cyanoacrylate adhesive, same as superglue or krazyglue. CA sometimes has a mixed record with metals, but  it will likely work if the magnets are countersunk into the plastic and there's enough surface area for the bond. Test it first before using it on everything.

Sorry I haven't check this forum lately and thanks for your reply. I've tested several glues, and I decide to use E6000 or 401 to attach the magnets after drilling a couple of holes to place them.
