Get the ones that Jeg's makes. The difference between them and most of the other adapters is that they cut the groove for the O-ring in the dead center of the rail instead of cutting a rabbet joint around the outside edge of it. With the O-ring set in the center of the rail, it gets more clamping force and is much less likely to leak.

There's a cooler selection of non center bolts imho. I thought about going that route but Injuneer said most the ones he's seen leaked so I stayed away.

Not the cheap way but AI offers as an optio modification to perimiter bolt with their heads packages. Might as well make a performance upgrade at the same time right??
