essentially nothing.

if itll mount on a weaver rail, itll mount on a picatinny rail.

 

[CraigC]

if itll mount on a weaver rail, itll mount on a picatinny rail.

It's worthy of note that the reverse is not necessarily true. Any scope ring or accessory made for a picatinny rail will NOT fit on a Weaver rail.

Thank you. That's the way I understood it but I like seeing specs.

Great link RC.
