How to mount a Canik Mecanik MO1 on a Weaver base: it is a Shield RMSc open-emitter reflex, so it needs a Weaver-compatible Shield RMSc mount, not a Picatinny one.

Fit a Canik Mecanik MO1 on a Weaver base
The Canik Mecanik MO1 is a Shield RMSc optic. Here is the Weaver-compatible mount it needs and why a Picatinny footprint mount may not seat on a Weaver slot.
The Canik Mecanik MO1 is a Shield RMSc optic, so it needs a Shield RMSc mount. On a Weaver base that mount has to be a Weaver-compatible version: Weaver slots are narrower and spaced differently from Picatinny, so a full-width Picatinny recoil lug may not drop in.
If the only Shield RMSc mount you can find is Picatinny-cut, the cleaner fix is to replace the Weaver base with a Picatinny rail, then use the standard Shield RMSc Picatinny mount. Check the mount clamps square before locking it down.

Questions and answers
Fit a Canik Mecanik MO1 on a Weaver base?
The Canik Mecanik MO1 reaches a Weaver base through a Weaver-compatible RMSc-footprint Picatinny mount. A Picatinny version of the same footprint mount may not seat, because its 5.23 mm recoil lug can be too wide for the 4.57 mm Weaver slot. Buy the Weaver-cut mount, or fit a Picatinny base first.
