ABSTRACT:
A sight is affixed to a rail on a receiver of a weapon by a torque-limiting weapon mount. Force is applied to clamp the sight to the rail by the relative movement of two inclined ramps, one on a rotating knob and the other on a nut whose turning generates the clamping force. The torque, and thence the force, that can be applied in attaching the sight is limited by the selection of a spring and by steps at the ends of the two inclined ramps that prevent a clamping force greater than that permitted by the spring force when the knob is turned.
