EGW Mini Mauser Zastava M85 Picatinny Rail

• One-piece Picatinny platform: Gives the Remington 799 or Zastava 85 Mini Mauser a continuous mounting surface, making ring placement easier and helping achieve proper eye relief with a wider range of riflescopes.
• 6061-T6 aluminum construction: Keeps weight down while providing the rigidity needed for a stable optic base, which matters on a hunting rifle carried for long periods.
• Matte black anodized finish: Adds surface protection against wear and corrosion while keeping reflections low, so the rail suits practical field use as well as range setups.
• Full-length cross slots: Allow flexible positioning for Picatinny-compatible rings and accessories, which helps when matching different scope lengths and turret layouts.
• Model-specific fit: Built for the Mini Mauser / Zastava M85 pattern, so it provides a dedicated mounting solution rather than a compromise fit across unrelated actions.

About the EGW Picatinny Rails Series

EGW Picatinny Rails are designed as practical, model-specific optic mounting solutions for shooters who want a solid base without unnecessary bulk. Within the manufacturer’s lineup, the series covers a wide range of rifle actions and gives users a one-piece Picatinny platform that simplifies scope mounting compared with traditional two-piece bases. In the Standard Duty family, the rails are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, balancing low weight with enough stiffness for general hunting, target shooting, and everyday rifle use.

A defining feature of the series is its straightforward mechanical design. Many rails use a lengthwise center valley, which reduces mass and can help preserve clearance around factory sight lines on suitable rifles. The family is also offered in different cant options, including 0 MOA, 15 MOA, and 20 MOA variants on applicable models, letting shooters choose a flat base for conventional distances or added elevation for longer-range dialing. Across the range, the emphasis stays on precise fit, simple installation, and broad compatibility with Picatinny-style rings and accessories.

About the EGW Mini Mauser Zastava M85 Picatinny Rail

The EGW Mini Mauser Zastava M85 Picatinny Rail is a dedicated scope base for rifles built on the Remington 799 and Zastava 85 Mini Mauser action. Its main advantage is not complexity, but fit: a rail made for this receiver pattern gives the optic a more secure and predictable foundation than generic mounting solutions. For compact hunting rifles and light field rifles, that matters because a stable base helps the scope hold zero and keeps ring alignment straightforward during installation.

The rail uses aluminum construction with a matte black finish, which keeps the setup light and visually unobtrusive while still standing up well to normal handling and outdoor use. At 129.00 mm in length, it provides enough mounting surface to give flexibility in ring spacing, which is especially useful when pairing the rifle with scopes of different tube lengths or eye relief requirements. The Picatinny format also broadens optic choice, allowing the rifle to accept a wide range of modern rings instead of being limited to narrower base patterns.

In practical use, this rail is well suited to a Mini Mauser set up for hunting optics or general-purpose sporting use. The one-piece layout simplifies mounting, and the cross-slot design makes it easier to position the scope correctly for a comfortable shooting position. For shooters updating an older action to a more versatile optic interface, this EGW rail provides a clean and functional upgrade path.

About EGW

Evolution Gun Works was founded by George Smith in 1991 and began as a gunsmithing shop in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The company is now based in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, United States, where it designs and manufactures firearm parts and accessories. EGW is especially well known for products such as scope mounts and scope rings, while its catalog also covers 1911 parts, AR and rifle components, red dot mounts, and thread protectors.

That background is relevant here because EGW’s reputation is built on practical machining and model-specific fit rather than broad one-size-fits-all solutions. Its experience across mounting systems and firearm components shows in products like this Picatinny rail, where the focus is on a precise interface between rifle and optic, durable materials, and straightforward installation for sporting and shooting applications.
