Using a torque driver, screw the screws appropriately (up to 2.2 Nm) – do not overtighten. Carefully clean the remaining excess fluid around the rail with a cleaning fluid. Be careful not to get the fluid in or near the mounting holes. Before mounting the rail permanently, apply a minimal amount of thread-locking fluid 278 or 648 on screws and contact surfaces. Make sure that the Picatinny rail is compatible with the rifle by inspecting the mounting holes on both. Once the surface is clean and dry, check whether the screws match the rail and the holes on the receiver. Remove all the stains (grease, oil etc.) from the rifle's receiver with a cleaning fluid (acetone). Rifles Steyr Mannlicher M and Steyr Mannlicher Luxus S, M, L have an action of same dimensions, which is why they share the same mounts. There are four holes drilled and tapped on the receiver for mounting purposes.
The standard M model is 110 cm long and weighs 3.15 kg.

Stutzen, Mountain, and Professional versions were also introduced. Model M has a five-round rotating magazine and was developed specifically for hunting deer. Later, they added the 6.5x55 mm and 7.5x55 mm versions. It was based on Model L but is equipped with a larger and heavier receiver for longer cartridges. Model M is a bolt-action rifle that was first introduced in 1973. The company's name was changed to Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG in 1987. The company's most active years were without a doubt during World War I when more than 4000 firearms were made daily by its 15.000 employees. This is when Werndl used the company's production capacity to manufacture all sorts of products along with firearms: dynamos, electric motors, light bulbs, bicycles, cars, trucks. In 1882, they faced a small crisis because of lack of large orders (they have supplied the European armies with breech-loading rifles – demand has declined). It soon grew into a big company with great production capacity. Steyr Mannlicher, a renowned company that produces firearms, was founded in 1864 by Josef Werndl. All of these great features however, come at quite a steep price. EAW chooses only the best materials for their products. Their Picatinny rails, which are all made from steel, have a nice finish and come with a unique channel in the middle, allowing the user to clearly see the rifle's sights. This is one of the main reasons why Picatinny is a far better mounting solution.ĮAW is a German company, known for producing top-quality mounts. Weaver's slot is 3.8 mm wide, which is why ring mounts made for a Weaver rail will also fit on a Picatinny rail while ring mounts made specifically for a Picatinny rail will not fit on a Weaver rail. Weaver has a few predesignated slots while Picatinny has slots all over its surface, allowing the device to be mounted wherever the user finds it fitting. Picatinny is a big step forward from the Weaver standard.
Because of all its great qualities, Picatinny rail has been dominating the rail market in the recent years. It is affordable, resilient and reliable – this is why it so commonly used by professionals and military. It is simple to mount and interchangeable – if something is made for a Picatinny rail, it will fit regardless of the manufacturer or manufacturing date. Picatinny rail consists of slots with 5.23 mm spaces between one another, which means that it can be used across its entire length.
