Mounting an Aimpoint Micro.
I recently acquired an Aimpoint Micro in a trade, I am planning on mounting it on a S & W mod 19, using a Weigand mount.

Before ordering the mount, I would like to know whether the integral mount on the Aimpoint will fit on the Weigand (Picattiny style) mount?
Also, while I'm asking stupid questions, what is the difference between a Picattiny and a Weaver base?

The optic will fit the Weigand if it’s a picatinny rail.
There may be other differences in some dimensions but the main difference between picatinny and weaver is the shape of the cross-slot. Weaver has a rounded base while picatinny is square.

Thanks. According to Weigand it is a combination Weaver, Picatinny mount.
