Abstract
A holder assembly for supporting a collimator of a field adjusting device on a weapon barrel includes a holder sled having a dovetail guide provided in the underface of the sled. The dovetail guide has lateral guide faces converging toward one another. A first groove is provided in the underface of the sled and extends transversely to the length of the dovetail guide. A dovetail receiver block is affixed to the weapon barrel in the muzzle region. The dovetail receiver block has lateral guide faces converging toward one another. A second groove, located on the weapon barrel, extends transversely to the barrel axis. The holder sled is removably mountable on the weapon barrel by sliding the dovetail guide onto the dovetail receiver block in a direction parallel to the barrel axis until an installed state of the holder sled is reached. In the installed state the lateral guide faces of the dovetail guide and the lateral guide faces of the dovetail receiver block are in a wedging relationship and the first and second grooves are in alignment with one another. Further, a wedge block is provided which is insertable into the first and second grooves in the installed state for axially immobilizing the holder sled on the weapon barrel.
