Hey guys, is this the adapter I use to change my Rhino II over to accept the Wilcox J arm with dovetail?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT, I found this thread from January that makes everything clear.

Sort of. Norotos adapters are best used with Norotos Dovetails. The Wilcox dovetail may not work well with that interface. I use one with a Norotos DDA and it works great. A few of the guys have had problems mixing Norotos and Wilcox parts.

Thanks for the heads up. I have the J arm and the adapter on the way, hopefully there are no fitment issues.

Make sure the MNVD is tethered. It might seem perfect and then eject without warning. The Dovetails from each manufacturer are just the slightest bit different.

I am not 100% of this, but are they also different for each manufacturer depending on the time period the mount / arm was made? Obviously my exposure to dovetail mounts and arms is very limited compared to you guys over the other side of the pond, but one older G24 was a lot roomier and had some play, and seemingly not due to wear.

It will fit just fine.

Thanks for the positive vibes man, I've been worried I blew $250 for nothing yesterday.

Noted, I'll be using the wire fishing leader and crimp method to make some lanyards.
