Does anyone know where or even IF I can purchase this scope mount part?

I have a scope set up on this CYMA CM.401 airsoft MP5 replica. It’s compatible with 11 mm rails by default, hence the adapter between the scope and the 22 mm MP5 rail.

I’ve lost one of the… “clamps”(?) for the adapter alongside the screw a few months ago in an airsoft match, and I thought that I’d get by with just one screw since “oh come on, it’s just an airsoft gun”, but it turns out that even on an airsoft gun the force from the electric motor is enough to throw the scope’s aim off with only one screw.

I want to purchase a replacement “clamp” (and a screw if possible, but not necessary, since I can just borrow one from my red dot), but I don’t even kinda know where to start looking for one. Can anyone help me out?

I think the best solution would be to replace the scope rings with raised Picatinny compatible rings. That removes the need for the intermediate adaptors at all. With new rings you can attach straight to the claw mount. Something like this.

The other solution would be trying to hunt down a non-Picatinny riser which is probably going to be more of a hassle, and the new setup would be better anyway.

Locktite on the next set of rings.

  Kinda ashamed that I never thought about just getting scope rings! I’ll definitely look into those. Thanks for the Locktite tip!

    How is the scope working out? I assume it’s a 3x or 4x non-illuminated meant for a .22lr?
    
    I’ve been doing well with a cheapo Monstrum 3x prism sight. It’s got an illuminated reticle making its usable enough at close quarters while being handy for primarily outdoor play.

Like others have said, your best bet is to just buy new a new scope mount and rings from any firearms shop. Easier and less headache. You will need to know your scope’s tube diameter.

However, if you are dead set on repair rather than replace (and are in the US), for oddball engineering projects like this I tend to use McMaster Carr. If they if they don’t have what you need I would be very surprised. They are an engineering supplier, and have prices to match. But they sell anything thats not electronics. Excellent customer service too.

For electronics builds or repairs, I recommend DigiKey.

Between the two you could build or repair just about anything.

Something like this? ant-supplies.uk/…/replacement-rail-jaw-clamp-plat…

No idea if that’ll that’ll fit yours, you might be better off replacing the scope mount entirely. Could try finding someone to 3d print a copy of the remaining clamp too.

  That actually looks really close! I’ll take a better look at it when I get back home next weekend. Thanks!

For the screw, go to Ace hardware. Take the other one, have them match it. As far as the clamp idunno
