will a scope that is listed for standard 7/8" Weaver rail mount work on a mount, which is 1913 mil standard rail ? i am confused after i looked at 1913 rail specs and it looked like its only .835" wide. or 7/8" ( .875" ) refers to something other than width of the rail itself.

thank you.

"The only difference between the Picatinny rail and the Weaver rail is the size of these slots, although many rail-grabber-mounted accessories can be used on either type of rail. Weaver rails have a slot width of .180", but are not necessarily consistent in the spacing of slot centers. The Picatinny locking slot width is 0.206"(5.2324mm) and the spacing of slot centers is 0.394"(10.0076mm).[1] Because of this, Weaver devices will fit on Picatinny rails, but Picatinny devices will not always fit on Weaver rails.[2]"

from wikipedia

found it.

thanks.

i want a POSP scope, which is only produced for weaver style mount. no option for piccy rail, and ARMS18 mount for my m14 only comes with 1913 rail.
