So I had this X-Six sitting in my safe for about 7 years un-fired. Thought I'd sell it... no luck... decided to keep it.
I would really like to put a red dot like a vortex venom on it... I had one on the shelf waiting for something to put it onto.
Scoured the internet looking for a suitable mounting plate for it...very little out there and what I did find would have been north of the 200.00 range out of Europe by the time
my trusty mail guy showed up with it.
One night I landed on Ali Express for something and I see these mounting plates showing up. So I narrowed the search to X-Six / X-5 etc.
Well to my surprise I find one... Said it fits the X-6... what do I have to lose for 23.23 total with shipping ... in my cart it goes.
So you're thinking what I was probably thinking ... some S&($ made in cheena right?? Didn't have very high hopes but... I thought I'd roll the dice for $23.00??? Why not!
3 weeks later I get a strange padded envelope in the mail ... totally forgot about this thing... It's my mount... Opened it up... looks hopeful!
Pulled my sight off (very easy, one pin and a screw) and popped this thing on the gun... well hell... if it didn't fit...well... not exactly.
I had to modify the bottom of the plate a little with my trusty milling machine ... took a couple of thousands off and tried it again... this time... bang on! I suspect you could do it
with a file and a Dremel quite easily...
What a surprise... something from the internet that actually worked... and from China to boot!
Can't wait to head out to the range and put bullets into bullet holes!
IF you're an x-six or x-five owner and want to put a red dot on your unit... Check it out... Quality was quite (surprisingly) Excellent!
Interesting update...
This post drew an awesome gunnut out of the woodwork who happened to have some surplus x-parts in his drawer and was kind enough to sell them to me.
Now this gun looks like it did in the original ads I saw... doesn't get any sweeter than that. Thank you so much TT.
