Clamping system for gun sight

A gun sight clamping system comprising:

• a body;
• a clamping bar;
• a cross bar engaging the body and the clamping bar;
• and
• a resilient device;
• wherein the body and the clamping bar have respective longitudinal inner surfaces for engaging a gun rail in a hollow defined by the inner surfaces and an underside of the body;
• wherein the resilient device provides a clamping force, in a direction that is transverse to an extent of the longitudinal inner surfaces, and from one of the longitudinal inner surfaces to the other longitudinal inner surface;
• wherein the resilient device controls a clamping force by the clamping bar and the body, on the gun rail;
• wherein a rectangular portion of the cross bar is in a hole in the clamping bar;
• and
• wherein the underside of the body includes one or more dovetail grooves that mate with one or more dovetail protrusions of the cross bar as the cross bar engages the body and the clamping bar.
