UTG 11mm Dovetail Airgun/.22 to Picatinny/Weaver Base Rail Rail Adaptor
Convert Your Rail and Gain a Useful Height Boost in One Go
A longstanding favourite for good reason — this UTG rail adapter turns a standard 11 mm dovetail rail (found on airguns and .22s) into a full-length Picatinny/Weaver base while also raising the mounting platform by a tad over 14 mm.
Perfect when you need both a modern interface and a bit of extra elevation.
Dovetail to Picatinny/Weaver conversion — lets you use a wider variety of rings, accessories, or mounting systems on rifles that only have 11 mm dovetail rails
Precision machined aluminium — strong, lightweight, and durable with a matte black finish
Spring/sliding‑type fit or clamping design (depending on model) ensures a tight, repeatable mount
Optional stop pin provision (where dovetails support a pin hole) for extra retention
Versatility — lets you bridge the gap between old and new mounting standards without modifying your rifle

Q1: Will this fit all dovetail rails?
It fits standard flat 11 mm dovetail rails, typical on airguns and many .22 rimfires. It won’t fit curved-top 3⁄8″ grooves or rails lacking flat sidewalls.
Q2: What does “adds 14 mm height” really mean?
From the dovetail base to the top of the Picatinny rail is approx. 14 mm. That’s a noticeable elevation – equivalent to a medium/high mount in many setups. Useful for lifting optics to clear scopes with large objective bells or for ergonomic reasons.
Q3: Why switch to Picatinny/Weaver from dovetail?
-
Far wider accessory compatibility
-
Repeatable mounting (slots let you return to zero when reattaching)
-
Stronger lock-up with beefier hardware
-
More flexible positioning of rings and optics
-
Future-proofed for red dots, NV optics, and tactical accessories
Q4: Will it hold zero under recoil?
Yes. It has a recoil stop crossbar that mates with slots on the dovetail, and clamps down tightly. For spring-powered or magnum air rifles, it’s one of the more secure dovetail adapters available.
Q5: How long is the rail?
100mm on the top with 75mm rail base, so you need at least 75mm of rail to fit it. The extra 25mm on top gives so flexibility for mounting and eye relief.
Q6: Will this interfere with bolt handles or loading ports?
In most cases, no. But if your rifle has an unusually high bolt handle or a very short breech, check that the added height still allows you to operate the action smoothly.
