The 14.5 mm dovetail is predominantly found on Czech drop barrel rifles, including models like the Brno 500, 611, ZH, Super, and the Browning Erice, among others. Typically, this dovetail design is grooved onto the rear top end of the barrel and has a length of approximately 4 cm, though it can sometimes be longer.
In terms of construction, the 14.5 mm measurement refers to the upper surface width of the dovetail, designed to allow for the installation of mounts without the need for screws. Mounts are securely clamped onto the dovetail, applying sufficient force to prevent any movement during recoil. Recoil cutouts are incorporated into the construction of every 14.5 mm dovetail to provide even greater resistance against recoil. On the left side of the dovetail, there is a canted recoil stop groove. The angle of dovetail slopes is 60 degrees.
