EAW Steel Picatinny rail, Voere 2185 Automat

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 Voere

Voere is an Austrian firearms manufacturer, founded in 1948 in the German Black Forest by Erich Voetter and his partner Paul Restle. Originally a metal processing company, they began making air pistols in the early days and expanded to air rifles and small-bore rifles by the 1960s. After relocating to Vöhrenbach, they started producing semi-automatic rifles. Post-1964, the company expanded further by acquiring Sportwaffen Tyrol in Kufstein, adding hunting bolt action and shotgun rifles to their production line.

About the 2185

The Voere 2185 is a semi-automatic gas-operated rifle designed for reliability and safety. It features a safety system that blocks the hammer, ensuring the rifle fires only when the bolt is fully closed. The rifle includes an indicator on the trigger guard for visual and tactile feedback. The single-stack magazine can hold between two and five rounds, depending on the caliber. The overall length of the rifle ranges from 1050 mm to 1100 mm (41.3 to 43.3 inches), with a carbon steel barrel length of 460 mm to 510 mm (18.1 to 20.1 inches) and attached open sights. The walnut stock is equipped with a Bavarian-style double-fold cheekpiece. The receiver comes with four pre-tapped holes, two on the front and two on the rear mounting surface.

Design of the Rail

The EAW Steel Picatinny rail, Voere 2185 Automat, is crafted from steel, providing exceptional hardness and durability compared to aluminum. This ensures a higher degree of repeatability with minimal wear over time. The rail features 4 mounting holes, all secured with M3.5 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.
