I have a scope set up on this CYMA CM.401 airsoft MP5 replica. It’s compatible with 11 mm rails by default, hence the adapter between the scope and the 22 mm MP5 rail.

I’ve lost one of the… “clamps”(?) for the adapter alongside the screw a few months ago in an airsoft match, and I thought that I’d get by with just one screw since “oh come on, it’s just an airsoft gun”, but it turns out that even on an airsoft gun the force from the electric motor is enough to throw the scope’s aim off with only one screw.

I want to purchase a replacement “clamp” (and a screw if possible, but not necessary, since I can just borrow one from my red dot), but I don’t even kinda know where to start looking for one. Can anyone help me out?

    Like others have said, your best bet is to just buy new a new scope mount and rings from any firearms shop. Easier and less headache. You will need to know your scope’s tube diameter.

    However, if you are dead set on repair rather than replace (and are in the US), for oddball engineering projects like this I tend to use McMaster Carr. If they if they don’t have what you need I would be very surprised. They are an engineering supplier, and have prices to match. But they sell anything thats not electronics. Excellent customer service too.

    For electronics builds or repairs, I recommend DigiKey.

    Between the two you could build or repair just about anything.
