Accessory for the installation, positioning and fixing of a telescopic sight or any other aiming accessory on an air rifle or firearm. The referred rifle or firearm comprises a series of longitudinal grooves (11) on its upper part, facing said accessory (10) and characterized in that said accessory comprises: first longitudinal support (14), with at least one orifice (17) perpendicular to the air rifle (12) or firearm, through which positioning means (16) pass that are housed on the rifle (12) or firearm, defining a firm supporting position between chamber (26) of said firearm and said first longitudinal support (14).

An attenuated rail grabber includes a rigid support member operable to be mounted on a weapon and support an optical device including a first fastener receiver and a second fastener receiver. The attenuated rail grabber includes a fastening mechanism coupled to the rigid support member and operable to fasten the rigid support member to the weapon. The attenuated rail grabber includes a first spring feature coupled to the rigid support member. The first spring feature includes a fore mounting tab having a fore fastener aperture. The attenuated rail grabber also includes a second spring feature coupled to the rigid support member. The second spring feature includes an aft mounting tab having an aft fastener aperture. The fore fastener aperture is operable to receive a first fastener joined to the first fastener receiver and the aft fastener aperture is operable to receive a second fastener joined to the second fastener receiver.

The improvements include an illuminator for a gun comprising a manually manipulated and storable external IR filter with a plurality of radially directed circumferential tabs integrally extending from the frame to allow a manual torque to be applied to the frame to manually screw it into and out of the bezel in the field. A high g-force diaphragm shock mount for the lamp includes a receptacle which positions the longitudinal axis of the lamp on the optical axis of the reflector. The field serviceable lamp assembly is an integrated or modular and sealed unit. A field serviceable electronics module is accessed by removing the rear bezel. The illuminator handle includes a double locked latch lever. A T-Slot to Picatinny adapter allows a SureFire T-rail fitting of the handle to fit a conventional Picatinny rail.
