Features in practical use
Picatinny/Weaver
Shield lists both versions as Picatinny/Weaver mounts for SMS/RMS.
Polymer or aluminium
The mount with triple-height spacers is made of polymer; the adapter with thumb nut is made of aluminium.
Height spacers
Shield calls the mount “with triple height spacers”; according to the Shield instruction sheet the number of spacers is selected during installation and the screws must be the correct length.
Fixing to the rail
The polymer mount is fixed to the rail with a grip plate; according to Shield the adapter uses a thumb nut.
Installation steps
The Shield sheet “Mount Instructions for SMS/RMS Picatinny” states: fit the selected number of spacers to the mount, screw spacers and sight on with screws of the correct length, place the mount on the Picatinny rail, attach the grip plate and screw it in place.
Screw torques
The Shield instruction sheet recommends 0.8 Nm for M3 screws, 2 Nm for M4 screws and a small dab of medium-strength threadlocker (such as Loctite 243 or 248), with sufficient drying time before zeroing. The screw length must be correct with at least 3 mm of engagement.
Matching items
A sight for the SMS/RMS footprint is chosen separately and is not included. A Picatinny or Weaver rail on the firearm is required.
* Firearms, mounts and other accessories shown are not included unless expressly listed. The selected item variant and the described scope of delivery are decisive.
