Asking for help in identifying a 1022 carbine scope base

[Rudedawg]

My son gave me a receiver to use on another 1022 project and this is the scope base/rail that is on it and according to Ruger it's for tip off rings. Tip off and dovetails are for 3/8 grooved receivers and bases so I had a set of Warne 3/8-11mm dovetail rings but was concerned about the way they looked when mounted. Am I going to be safe using these on the tip off rail? Thanks in advance.

Go spend 20 bucks and buy a 1022 scope base by several different makers made for picatinny rail. Put any scope you want on it.
To answer your question I think that base style was used at one time. I never used them. At one point I think they came with a couple of slots also. I ended up putting any I got in the trash.

Thanks.
The reason I asked is I removed the screws to replace the base but it is secured some how and I didn't want to break the receiver. My son can't remember if he used loc-tite or what to secure it to the receiver before he attached the screws. I may try a heat gun as I have a pic rail plus spare rings to fit it.

Heat gun, hair dryer or even fishing line ….

I read that brake cleaner or soldiering gun works as well. I have a can of brake cleaner so may try that first before heating the alum.

Heat should be the solution . And maybe a pair of vice grips and give a bit of a twist ...

Thanks everyone.
It was oxidation not thread locker and a little brake cleaner sprayed along the edges loosened the oxidation between the surfaces and it popped right off with minimal effort. I installed the correct base & rings then mounted the scope so it's ready for sighting at the range. I think it's going to be a shooter based on last week's trip. I had shot a single round sighter with Fed Automatch and Tac-22 which both were high then adjusted the scope. The 5 shot groups of Tac-22 look promising.

If I knew you just wanted to remove a stuck base I wouldn't have given that advice, but you got it off and have a functioning base and scope. Its all good,

Fishing line? Somebody enlighten me please?

Use it to "saw" through the sticky stuff and release the base. Then you're just left to clean up.
