Windage adjustable 1913 or picatinny rail

[jake_in_AK]

hello all-
So I've looked and expended my google-fu, apologies if this had come up before and I just didn't find it.

I'm trying to find a windage adjusting adapter that is fairly short and attaches to flat top rail and has 1913 or picatinny rail on it's top.

Why I'm looking for this is I've got a knock off ACOG style sight that has more or less lost its ability to adjust windage, but as far as I can tell is not shifting point of impact.

Yes, I know, I should instead buy a new scope and maybe not be such a cheapskate this time, but it's for a crap gun anyways that no ones life will depend on, and I am that cheapskate.

I've found lots of standard scope ring / integrated bases that were adjustable for windage, but none that had just a flat rail top.

Help?

Thanks in advance

Reliable irons are better than a broken scope. But to answer your question, any decent adjustable mount would likely cost as much as a new optic. Junk the broken China scope and get a cheap name brand optic.

I agree with Jackal.

But if your dead set on keeping the knock off, you can use small pieces of soda can in the non clamping side of the mount to shim for some rough windage adjustment.
Put them at the back and poi will move away from the side shimmed, put them in the front and it will move towards the side shimmed.
