    Where do they fit the arca rail?

    I've put this up on the rimfire section also, but it will probably get more traction here. I was cruising Holts latest auction for a .451 Volunteer rifle when this somehow swung into view https://www.holtsauctioneers.com/asp/fullcatalogue.asp?salelot=A0724+++1205+&refno=++175231&saletype=...
