EAW Steel Picatinny rail, Carl Gustaf 4000

About Picatinny Rail

The Picatinny rail system is engineered with slots spaced precisely 5.23 mm apart, ensuring consistent and versatile usage along its entire length. This design allows for easy mounting and universal compatibility, meaning accessories designed for a Picatinny rail will fit perfectly, regardless of the manufacturer or production date. Valued for its affordability, durability, and reliability, the Picatinny rail has become a preferred choice among professionals and military personnel, dominating the scope mounts market in recent years.

The Picatinny design represents a significant improvement over the older Weaver standard. While the Weaver system has only a few predetermined slots, the Picatinny rail features continuous slots across its surface, offering greater flexibility for mounting devices at any location. Additionally, the slots on a Weaver rail are narrower, at 3.8 mm, which means scope mounts designed for Weaver rails can fit on a Picatinny rail. However, mounts specifically made for Picatinny rails do not fit on Weaver rails due to the size difference of recoil stoppers. This compatibility and versatility position the Picatinny rail as a superior mounting solution for various applications.

About the Carl Gustaf

Carl Gustaf, founded in 1812 as Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori, began as a state arsenal in Sweden. Over two centuries, it has produced many renowned small arms, including the Swedish Mauser and the 84 mm recoilless rifle. Managed by Försvarets Fabriksverk (FFV) from 1943 to 1991, the company later became part of Saab AB and BAE Systems AB, continuing its tradition of high-quality weaponry production.

The Carl Gustaf 4000 is a bolt-action rifle, also known as the Sauer 200 Lang, produced between 1984 and 1993. It features a push-feed bolt with six locking lugs housed in either a steel or aluminum alloy receiver, known for its smooth operation. The lugs lock directly with the barrel, and the rifle's modular design allows for easy barrel swapping. The Carl Gustaf 4000 includes a detachable box magazine that can hold up to five cartridges. The receiver is equipped with four mounting holes (two in the front and two in the rear) for optics. Barrel lengths range from 510 mm (20 inches) to 600 mm (23.6 inches).

This ensures a higher degree of repeatability with minimal wear over time. The rail features 15 slots and 4 mounting holes, all secured with 6-48 threading. A unique central channel allows the simultaneous use of the rifle's iron sights, providing a reliable backup option without needing to remove the rail when there is nothing mounted on it. This Picatinny rail is firmly attached to the rifle with 4 screws, ensuring a secure and stable mount.

Mounting Instructions

Clean the rifle's receiver thoroughly with a cleaning fluid, such as acetone, to remove all stains, grease, and oil. Once the surface is clean and dry, verify that the screws fit both the rail and the receiver holes. Before mounting the rail, apply a minimal amount of thread-locking fluid (278 or 648) to the screws, avoiding any contact with the mounting holes. Carefully clean any excess fluid around the rail using the cleaning fluid. Using a torque driver, tighten the screws to the appropriate torque (up to 3 Nm/26.5 in-lbs). If you require any mounting tools, you can find them on our Rifle Scope Mounting Tools page.
